Required Variables

• BOT_TOKEN: Create a bot using @BotFather, and get the Telegram API token.
• APP_ID: Get this value from telegram.org.
• API_HASH: Get this value from telegram.org.

• OWNER_ID: User ID of owner.
• ADMINS: User ID of Admins. Separate multiple Admins by space.
• DB_URL: Link to connect postgresql database (setup details given below).

# Install postgresql:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install postgresql

# Change to the postgres user:
sudo su - postgres

# Create a new database user (change YOUR_USER appropriately):
createuser -P -s -e YOUR_USER
# This will be followed by you needing to input your password.

# create a new database table:
createdb -O YOUR_USER YOUR_DB_NAME
#Change YOUR_USER and YOUR_DB_NAME appropriately.

# finally:
psql -h YOUR_HOST -p YOUR_PORT -d YOUR_DB_NAME -U YOUR_USER

#This will allow you to connect to your database via your terminal.
By default, YOUR_HOST should be `localhost` & YOUR_PORT should be `5432`.

You should now be able to build your database URI. This will be:
sqldbtype://username:password@hostname:port/db_name

Replace your sqldbtype, username, password, hostname (localhost?), port (5432?), and db name in .env file.
