+# IP Monitor Discord Bot
+
+This Go application monitors your external IP address and updates a pinned message in a specified Discord channel whenever the IP changes. It also sends a broadcast message notifying about the IP change.

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Docker**: Ensure Docker is installed on your system.
+- **Discord Bot**: You need a Discord bot token and the ID of the channel where the bot will operate.
+
+## Setup Instructions
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ip-monitor.git
+cd ip-monitor
+```
+
+### 2. Create a Discord Bot
+
+- Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
+- Create a new application and add a bot to it.
+- Copy the bot's token; you'll need it for authentication.
+- Invite the bot to your server with appropriate permissions (send messages, manage messages).
