 ## 📌 Инфраструктура и Деплой
 
+**Актуальный способ деплоя — Coolify**, автодеплой по пушу в `gitea/main`. Старый ручной способ (checkout в `/opt/redairsoft_poster/` + `docker-compose` руками через Proxmox, описанный ниже архивно) больше не используется — тот контейнер (`redairsoft-vk-poster`) был удалён 2026-08-15 как заброшенный.
+
 | Параметр | Значение |
 |---|---|
-| **Хост Proxmox** | `192.168.1.222` (root SSH через ключ `~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox`) |
-| **LXC Контейнер** | **CT 107** (`redairsoft-poster`, IP: `192.168.1.106`, Debian 12) |
-| **Ресурсы LXC** | 2 vCPU, 1.5 GB RAM, 512 MB Swap, 16 GB Disk, `onboot=1` |
+| **Деплой** | Coolify, приложение "RedAirsoft Poster", сервер `redairsoft-poster-lxc` |
+| **URL** | `http://hjbmqj1ohievdrebpltnzex0.192.168.1.106.sslip.io` |
+| **Хост контейнера** | Тот же LXC 107 (`192.168.1.106`) — Coolify управляет им напрямую, не через `/opt/redairsoft_poster/` |
+| **Имя Docker-контейнера** | Динамическое, вида `<coolify-app-id>-<deploy-id>`, тег образа = хэш закоммиченного коммита. Смотреть через `docker ps` — актуальный это `Up`, с тегом = последний `git log` хэш |

-| **Путь проекта на LXC 107** | `/opt/redairsoft_poster/` |
-| **Имя Docker контейнера** | `redairsoft-vk-poster` |

-## 🚀 Управление проектом (Команды из консоли / PowerShell)
-
-Все команды выполняются через Proxmox хост:
+### Диагностика через SSH (read-only)
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Посмотреть статус и логи бота:
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- docker logs --tail 50 redairsoft-vk-poster'
+# Найти актуальный контейнер (смотреть на тег образа = свежий commit hash):
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- docker ps -a'
 
-# 2. Логи в реальном времени (follow):
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- docker logs -f redairsoft-vk-poster'
-
-# 3. Запустить проект:
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- bash -c "cd /opt/redairsoft_poster && docker-compose up -d"'
-
-# 4. Остановить проект:
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- bash -c "cd /opt/redairsoft_poster && docker-compose stop"'
-
-# 5. Обновить из Gitea и пересобрать:
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- bash -c "cd /opt/redairsoft_poster && git pull origin main && docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d"'
+# Логи актуального контейнера:
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_proxmox root@192.168.1.222 'pct exec 107 -- docker logs --tail 100 <имя-контейнера>'
 ```
 
+Деплой новой версии — просто `git push` в `gitea/main`, Coolify подхватывает автоматически.

 ## ⚙️ Как работает сервис
 
+0. **Донор→рецепиент маршруты (`data/routes.json`)**:
+   - Сервис может опрашивать сразу несколько групп ВК ("доноров"), и для каждой отдельно настроено, в какие Telegram и МАКС чаты публиковать ("рецепиенты"), плюс независимые вкл/выкл для TG и МАКС на каждом маршруте.
+   - Список маршрутов хранится в `data/routes.json` (персистентный том, не в git). Если файла нет — при первом запуске он создаётся автоматически из старых `.env`-переменных `VK_SOURCE`/`TG_CHAT_ID`/`MAX_CHAT_ID` (один маршрут с `id: "default"`), так что апгрейд с однo-группового режима ничего не ломает.
+   - Пример формата — [`routes.json.example`](routes.json.example) в корне репозитория. Правка `routes.json` требует перезапуска контейнера, чтобы изменения подхватились.
+   - Маршруты в рамках одного цикла опроса обрабатываются **строго последовательно** (без параллелизма) — это защищает от флуда на VK API, загрузке медиа в Telegram/локальный Bot API и отправке в МАКС, поскольку токены ботов общие на все маршруты.
 1. **Опрос стены ВКонтакте**:
-   - Каждые 15 минут делает запрос к методу `wall.get` для группы `public36860851` (`owner_id: -36860851`).
+   - Каждые 15 минут (`CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES`) делает запрос к методу `wall.get` для каждой группы из `routes.json`.
    - Фильтрует посты автора (без репостов и рекламы сторонних сообществ).
 2. **Защита от спама и режим запуска (`BOOTSTRAP_MODE`)**:
    - Установлен режим `BOOTSTRAP_MODE=skip_existing`.

+## 🔀 Маршруты донор→рецепиент (`data/routes.json`)
+
+Формат одного маршрута:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "redairsoft_main",
+  "name": "Red Airsoft (основная группа)",
+  "vk_source": "public36860851",
+  "tg_chat_id": "-1001303630155",
+  "tg_enabled": true,
+  "max_chat_id": "123456",
+  "max_enabled": true
+}
+```
+
+| Поле | Описание |
+|---|---|
+| `id` | Уникальный технический идентификатор маршрута (используется в БД и логах) |
+| `name` | Человекочитаемое имя для отчётов администраторам |
+| `vk_source` | Группа-донор ВК: screen name, URL или owner_id |
+| `tg_chat_id` / `max_chat_id` | Куда публиковать (chat/channel ID) |
+| `tg_enabled` / `max_enabled` | Переключатель — публиковать ли в эту платформу для этого маршрута (только TG, только МАКС, или оба) |
+
+Можно завести несколько маршрутов с разными `vk_source`, каждый — в свои TG/МАКС чаты. Токены ботов (`TG_BOT_TOKEN`, `MAX_BOT_TOKEN`, `VK_ACCESS_TOKEN`) общие на все маршруты — один бот пишет в разные чаты.
+
+`vk_source` принимает screen name, полный URL (`vk.com` и `vk.ru`) или `owner_id` — можно указывать как есть, без ручной нормализации.
+
+Файл — обычный JSON, но допускает построчные комментарии `// текст`, чтобы подписывать, где какой маршрут (полноценных JSON-комментариев не существует, здесь это добавлено отдельно — строка, у которой после пробелов идёт `//`, вырезается перед парсингом):
+
+```jsonc
+[
+
+// redairsoft
+{
+  "id": "redairsoft",
+  "vk_source": "public36860851",
+  "tg_chat_id": "-1001303630155",
+  "max_chat_id": "-69722432869632"
+},
+
+// strike_expo
+{
+  "id": "strike_expo",
+  "vk_source": "https://vk.ru/strike_expo",
+  "tg_chat_id": "-1003099077190",
+  "max_chat_id": "-77898705339648"
+}

-| `VK_SOURCE` | `public36860851` |

+| `VK_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Сервисный токен приложения ВК (`d0a64...`), общий на все маршруты |
+| `ROUTES_CONFIG_PATH` | Путь к файлу маршрутов, по умолчанию `data/routes.json` |
+| `VK_SOURCE` / `TG_CHAT_ID` / `MAX_CHAT_ID` | Легаси fallback: используются только для авто-генерации первого маршрута, если `routes.json` ещё не существует |
