Description

Context

Forks of the bot can't easily run multiple Signal accounts on one host. A multi-tenant layout (tenants/<tenant_id>/.env, tenants/<tenant_id>/state/) would let one container serve N communities with isolated state, sharing only the binary. This is foundational for the fork-friendly direction in selfhost/.

Acceptance criteria

  • [ ] Bot reads TENANT_ID env var; if set, loads tenants/$TENANT_ID/.env instead of root .env
  • [ ] All file paths (signal-cli state, file index, logs) namespace under tenants/<id>/
  • [ ] Database connection string uses DB_NAME=signalbot_<tenant_id> if multi-tenant mode active
  • [ ] Default behavior unchanged when TENANT_ID unset (single-tenant compatibility)
  • [ ] docker compose up with TENANT_ID=foo example documented in README
  • [ ] Tests: at least one integration test runs in multi-tenant mode

Technical hints

  • Centralize env loading in apps/signal-bot/src/src/utils/config.ts (probably already exists — extend it)
  • Update compose.yml to honor TENANT_ID build arg / env
  • PostgreSQL: per-tenant database, NOT per-tenant schema (avoids cross-tenant leaks via shared sequences)
  • signal-cli stores account state in ~/.local/share/signal-cli/ — must override per-tenant
