Description of issue

The bot just won’t start on my VPS (Ubuntu 20.04).

Steps to reproduce

1. When executing the first guide command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa I get the following error:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

1. Decided to go ahead anyway and everything worked, except the bot won’t start. this happens:
