Configuration

Argus uses one versioned YAML configuration. Environment variables supply only secrets; resolved secrets are never written to applied snapshots.

cp argus.example.yaml argus.yaml
argus config validate argus.yaml
argus config apply argus.yaml

A watch can combine X accounts or searches, public Telegram channel usernames, direct URLs, feeds, and managed web queries. Keyword classification adds metadata; it does not discard the original record.

For V1, deploy a single VPS with SQLite or split api, scheduler, worker, and processor roles with PostgreSQL. Private chats and direct infrastructure edits are outside the product boundary.
