[BUG] Bot stops playing after about 50 seconds

When I request a song, it plays the song specified for 50ish seconds (seems to usually be around 55 seconds). After that time has elapsed, the bot stops playing. (Since the music counts as stopped, it automatically disconnects, but that's just normal behaviour)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Join a voice channel
2. Use "/play query:" where can be any valid YouTube video link. The bot should join the voice channel you are currently in.
3. Wait until the music stops playing. This should take at most 60 seconds. (If this fails to occur, I don't know what to do)
4. The bot should leave the channel after about 10-15 seconds, since the bot is inactive. (This last step is normal behaviour for the bot as far I know)

The expected behaviour of the bot is for it play each requested song through to completion, then leave.

The actual behaviour of the bot is that it each song requested is only partially played before being halted, and then the bot leaves.

Additional context:
If I run the "resume" function, it states that it has unpaused the music, but does it not continue. All other functions (stop, nowplaying, etc) still work.

[FR] Docker Support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Create a docker image for new users to test/use this music bot via docker containers. I have been looking for a good music bot that has slash commands and react buttons for a "now playing" message from the bot to allow ease of use. Using docker has been a great way to quickly test and deploy discord bots.

"Working" Solution
I pulled the repo, modified the config.yml with bot info, then added a Dockerfile (which was mainly based off of nizewn/Dodong Discord Music Bot):

FROM node:18-alpine AS BUILD
WORKDIR /build
COPY . /build
RUN npm install --production

FROM node:18-alpine
LABEL MAINTAINER="melody" DESCRIPTION="Discord music bot with many useful commands and effects."
WORKDIR /bot
COPY --from=BUILD /usr/lib/ /usr/lib/
COPY --from=BUILD /lib/ /lib/
COPY --from=BUILD /build/ /bot
ENV NODE_ENV production
CMD ["node", "./src/bot.js"]

Created an image using docker build -t melody . then created a container docker run -d -it --name melody --restart unless-stopped melody

Describe the solution you'd like
I am not an expert at docker but a better way would be either passing in the bot token as a environment variable or mapping of a working volume for docker.

codetheweb/muse Discord Music Bot has an example of using environment variable.

Bas-Korver/docker-jmusicbot is an example of someone making a docker version of jmusicbot by basically mapping the directory of the config file for the bot with docker-compose.

Again, I am no expert at docker and mainly get by with scraping together information from different github docker projects.
