# Demo Mode

> Isolated demo environments for public demonstrations

Demo mode creates isolated environments for public demonstrations.

## Enable

```bash theme={null}
# Via flag
./botmux -demo

# Via environment variable
DEMO_MODE=true ./botmux

# Docker
docker run -e DEMO_MODE=true -p 8080:8080 botmux
```

## Behavior

* Uses a separate `demo.db` database
* Login: `demo` / `demo` (no password change required)
* 3 pre-configured demo bots
* Uses a fake Telegram API (`telegram-bot-api.exe.xyz`)
* Sessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity
* `/api/health` returns `{"mode": "demo"}` so frontend auto-fills credentials
