  2. Bot runs in background with -d flag

    • It will keep running even if you close PowerShell
    • It will auto-start on system reboot (unless you stop it)

  3. To completely stop everything:

  4. Bot token and settings are in .env file

    • Edit that file if you need to change API keys
    • After editing, restart: docker compose restart serverpulse
