Running the bot without any sub command will start an http server, connect to discord and listen for commands, all with the default configuration.
Running the bot for the first time, you probably want to generate an encryption
key and register the discord slash commands with the storage and slash
subcommands.
By default the bot will store all data encrypted in an embedded database. Most of the action will happen from slash commands in discord and the following redirects to the http server.
The bot can be configured via a config file, environment variables or command line arguments.
Other sub commands are used offline to help with certain operations, e.g. key generation and most importantly the slash command registration.
Before the bot can be used with discord, you need to setup a discord application (and a bot) via the discord developer portal.
When running the bot for the first time, no slash commands are
registered for the discord application, which makes the bot pretty useless.
With the slash global/server sub command, the bot will register all
slash commands either globally or for a specific guild. Global registration
may take some time to propagate, while guild registration is instant.
