Proper documentation to setup bot all config vars #565

Description

@amegh-ts

Documentation Improvement Request

Summary

The project has grown significantly with many new features, configuration options, and environment variables. However, the current documentation does not clearly explain how to perform a complete setup, making deployment difficult for new users.

Proposed Improvement

Expand and update the README with a comprehensive setup guide that covers the entire deployment process from start to finish.

The documentation should include:

  • A complete list of all required and optional environment variables.
  • A description of what each variable is used for.
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to generate or obtain every required value.
  • Direct links to the official services or platforms where API keys, tokens, and credentials can be created.
  • Examples of valid values for each variable wherever applicable.
  • Explanations of which features depend on specific variables.
  • Clear deployment instructions for supported platforms (Docker, VPS, Railway, Render, etc., if applicable).
  • A troubleshooting section covering common setup mistakes and their solutions.

Expected Benefits

  • Simplifies the initial setup process for new users.
  • Reduces deployment errors caused by missing or incorrectly configured variables.
  • Eliminates the need to search through issues or discussions for setup information.
  • Makes it easier to discover and configure optional features.
  • Improves the overall onboarding experience and reduces repetitive support requests.
