NEXTAUTH_SECRET: A secret used for Next Auth, which is used for user authentication. You can generate the secret via 'openssl rand -base64 32' on Linux.

DISCORD_CLIENT_ID: The application client ID for the Discord Provider, which is used for user authentication. In order to get the ID, you need to create a new Discord application.
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret for the Discord Provider, which is used for user authentication.
OPENAI_API_KEY: The API key you generate for the OpenAI API, which is used to generate image prompts and relevant article images.
You can set these environment variables in a .env file in the root of the project directory, or set them in your operating system's environment variable settings.
