## docker
you can use the dockerfile and docker-compose.yml i provided. I will at some point push a docker image which is ready to use. Until then you will have to build the image first. Here's how:
git clone https://code.kraftw3rk.de/alex/quote-bot.git
git switch rest-bot
touch quotes.txt #(fill with quotes, one per line, no longer than your instance character limit!)
touch .env #(fill with "UserToken='***'" insert the token where the stars are!)
mv docker-compose-example.yml docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
Have fun!
