Optional Cloud Deployment & Session Syncing

This guide outlines how to deploy Boundier to a cloud provider like Render. Cloud hosting requires setting up GitHub Gist syncing to preserve and update your ChatGPT browser session cookies across container restarts.

1. Setup GitHub Gist Syncing

Because cloud instances are ephemeral, Boundier can encrypt and backup your authenticated Chromium storage state to a private GitHub Gist.

  1. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the gist scope.
  2. Choose a secure Encryption Key passphrase to encrypt the session cookies.
  3. Add these values to your .env file or environment variables: 
    GITHUB_PAT="your_github_pat"
ENCRYPTION_KEY="your_encryption_passphrase"
  4. Run Option [2] in the Boundier Terminal (terminal.py) to authenticate your ChatGPT account. Once logged in, your authenticated state will be encrypted and pushed to your Gist automatically.

2. Deploying to Render

Configure a web service on Render pointing to your fork/repository.

Environment Variables

Configure the following in your Render Dashboard:

  • DISCORD_TOKEN: Your Discord bot application token.
  • GITHUB_PAT: The GitHub PAT with gist scope.
  • ENCRYPTION_KEY: The passphrase chosen during setup.
  • PORT: 10000 (for web service health checks).

Boundier will boot up, pull the encrypted state from the Gist, decrypt it, and run headless on the cloud container.
