Subject: [PATCH] Implement automatic creation of config.ini from example file

- Added logic to the `install-service.sh` script to automatically create a `config.ini` file from `config.ini.example` if it does not exist in the installation directory.
- Included warnings for users if the example file is not found, ensuring proper configuration setup before starting the bot.
- Refactored joke command configuration in `core.py` to maintain consistency and clarity in the configuration structure.
