+# Deploy on a VM or container, run the pipeline on a schedule, notify Telegram
+
+This guide assumes you already pushed this repo to Gitea, for example:
+
+```bash
+git remote add gitea gitea@10.0.30.169:ilia/Jobber.git   # or: git remote set-url gitea ...
+git push -u gitea main
+```
+
+If you have **uncommitted** changes, commit them first, then push again:
+
+```bash
+git add -A && git commit -m "Your message" && git push gitea main
+```
+
+---
+
+## 1. Deploy on a Linux VM (bare metal or cloud)
+
+1. Install **Docker** and **Docker Compose** (plugin v2).
+2. Clone from your Gitea server (SSH or HTTPS):
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone gitea@10.0.30.169:ilia/Jobber.git
+   cd Jobber   # or job-ops if you kept that folder name
+   ```
+
+3. Copy and edit environment:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   # Edit .env: MODEL / LLM keys, RXRESUME_*, search settings, etc.
+   ```
+
+4. Start the stack:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+5. Open the UI: `http://<VM-IP>:3005` (port mapped in `docker-compose.yml`).
+
+6. Persist data: the compose file mounts `./data` — back up that directory.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Deploy as a container (same image, any host)
+
+Same as the VM path: only Docker is required. On the VM:
+
+- Ensure port **3005** (or your chosen host port) is reachable if you use the UI from another machine.
+- For **only** API/cron use from localhost, you can bind to `127.0.0.1:3005` by changing the `ports:` line in `docker-compose.yml` if you edit it (e.g. `"127.0.0.1:3005:3001"`).
+
+Inside the container the app listens on **3001**; the host maps **3005 → 3001** by default.
+
+**Cron on the host** should call the API on the host:
+
+- UI: `http://127.0.0.1:3005` (browser)
+- **API (orchestrator)**: `http://127.0.0.1:3005` — same port; requests to `/api/...` are served by the app behind the reverse proxy built into the image.
+
+If your setup exposes the API only on an internal Docker network, use the container name and port `3001` from another container, or publish `3005` on the host and use `127.0.0.1:3005` from cron.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Run the pipeline three times a day (cron)
+
+`POST /api/pipeline/run` **starts** the pipeline in the **background** and returns immediately (`{ ok: true, data: { message: "Pipeline started" } }`). That is enough for scheduling.
+
+Example **crontab** entries (host time zone — adjust hours as you like):
+
+```cron
+# 08:00, 14:00, 20:00 daily — trigger JobOps pipeline
+0 8,14,20 * * * /usr/local/bin/jobops-pipeline-run.sh >> /var/log/jobops-pipeline.log 2>&1
+```
+
+Create `/usr/local/bin/jobops-pipeline-run.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+BASE_URL="${JOBOPS_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:3005}"
+# If you set BASIC_AUTH_USER / BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD in .env, uncomment:
+# AUTH=(-u "${BASIC_AUTH_USER:?}:${BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD:?}")
+
+curl -sS -X POST "${BASE_URL}/api/pipeline/run" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{}' \
+  "${AUTH[@]:-}" \
+  | tee -a /var/log/jobops-pipeline.log
+echo >> /var/log/jobops-pipeline.log
+```
+
+```bash
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jobops-pipeline-run.sh
+```
+
+Optional: set `JOBOPS_URL` in root’s crontab or in `/etc/environment` if the app is on another host.
+
+**Basic Auth:** When `BASIC_AUTH_USER` and `BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` are set in `.env`, all non-GET API calls need Basic auth — use `curl -u user:pass` as above.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Telegram notifications
+
+JobOps does **not** send Telegram directly. Practical options:
+
+### Option A — Pipeline webhook (recommended)
+
+1. In the app: **Settings → Webhooks** (or env `PIPELINE_WEBHOOK_URL` / `WEBHOOK_SECRET`) set a URL that receives JSON when a run **completes or fails**.
+2. Point that URL to a **small relay** that translates the JSON into a Telegram `sendMessage` call.
+
+Telegram API:
+
+```text
+https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage
+```
+
+Body (JSON):
+
+```json
+{
+  "chat_id": "<YOUR_CHAT_ID>",
+  "text": "Pipeline finished: ..."
+}
+```
+
+You can host the relay on the same VM (Flask/FastAPI/Node, or **n8n** / **Webhook.site** + automation). Keep the **bot token** and **chat id** in env vars, not in the JobOps UI if possible.
+
+Webhook payload shape (sanitized) includes fields like `event`, `pipelineRunId`, `jobsDiscovered`, `jobsProcessed`, `error` — see server code `notify-webhook.ts`.
+
+### Option B — Cron wrapper: poll status, then Telegram
+
+Because `/api/pipeline/run` returns before the run finishes, a simple approach:
+
+1. Cron calls `jobops-pipeline-run.sh` (as above).
+2. A **second** script (or same script extended) polls `GET /api/pipeline/status` until `isRunning` is false, then reads `GET /api/pipeline/runs` for the latest run and sends a short message via `curl` to Telegram.
+
+Example **send** (replace token and chat id):
+
+```bash
+TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="123456:ABC..."
+CHAT_ID="your_numeric_chat_id"
+MSG="$(printf 'JobOps pipeline finished. Check dashboard.')"
+curl -sS -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{\"chat_id\":\"${CHAT_ID}\",\"text\":$(echo "$MSG" | jq -Rs .)}"
+```
+
+Get **chat_id**: message your bot, then open `https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates` and read `message.chat.id`.
+
+### Option C — External automation
+
+Use **n8n**, **Grafana OnCall**, or similar: trigger on schedule → HTTP POST ` /api/pipeline/run` → wait/poll → Telegram node.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Security notes
+
+- Do not commit `.env` or Telegram tokens to Git.
+- Prefer **Basic Auth** on the instance if it is reachable from the internet.
+- Restrict firewall so only your IP (or VPN) can reach port 3005 if exposed.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Git remotes quick reference
+
+```bash
+git remote -v
+git push gitea main          # your Gitea
+git push origin main         # upstream GitHub (if you have rights)
+```

+title: Company skip list
+description: Block unwanted employers during discovery using blocked company keywords in Settings.
+sidebar_position: 6
+---
+
+## What it is
+
+The **company skip list** is the **Blocked company keywords** field in **Settings → Scoring Settings**. Any job whose **employer / company name** contains one of your tokens (case-insensitive substring match) is **dropped during discovery** and is never imported.
+
+## Why it exists
+
+You may want to avoid certain agencies, staffing brands, or employers without having to filter them out of every search manually.
+
+## How to use it
+
+1. Open **Settings** and expand **Scoring Settings**.
+2. Find **Company skip list (blocked keywords)**.
+3. Add tokens one at a time, or paste a comma- or newline-separated list.
+4. Click **Save Changes**.
+5. Run the pipeline again — blocked companies apply to **new discovery only**; they do not remove jobs already in the database.
+
+### Tips
+
+- Use substrings that reliably identify the employer on listings, for example `recruit`, `staffing`, or a distinctive part of a brand name.
+- Avoid overly short tokens that could match unrelated companies (for example a three-letter acronym shared by many firms).
+- The list is capped in Settings validation (max 200 entries, each up to 200 characters).
+- To block more precisely, prefer the exact spelling that appears on job posts you see in JobOps.
+
+### Maintenance
+
+- **Add** entries when you notice employers you never want to see again.
+- **Remove** entries if you blocked too much — save, then run discovery again.
+- **Review periodically** — staffing brand names change, and your targets may shift.
+- **Existing jobs** are unchanged; use the Jobs UI or **Danger Zone** in Settings if you need to clear old rows.
+
+## Common problems
+
+### Blocked companies still appear
+
+- Confirm you clicked **Save Changes** after editing the list.
+- Remember: only **new** runs apply the filter. Old jobs stay until you delete or clear them.
+
+### Too many jobs disappeared
+
+- A token may be too broad. Remove or narrow it in Settings.

+## Discovery deduplication
+
+When new listings are imported, JobOps does not create a second database row if the job is already in your workspace (any status). Matching uses:
+
+- a **canonical job URL** (normalizes `http`/`https`, `www`, trailing slashes, common tracking query params, and sorts remaining query keys)
+- the pair **`source` + `source_job_id`** when the extractor provides an external id
+
+Existing jobs keep their stored URL; new imports use the canonical form so the same role is not added again under a slightly different link.
+
+To drop companies before import, configure a **company skip list** (blocked company keywords) in **Settings → Scoring Settings**. See [Company skip list](/docs/features/company-skip-list).
