+### Pre-requisites
+This guide asumes a lot of things, including that you know your way around linux, nginx and internet in general.
+
+- Decently updated version of linux
+- `node` package installed and at least at version 10
+- `build-essential` package installed to build some dependencies
+- `ffmpeg` package installed if you want thumbnails
+- `yarn` package installed. If you'd like to use npm instead change `package.json` accordingly
+- A database, postgresql preferably. You can also fall back to sqlite3 by default.
+
+### Installing
+
+1. Clone the repository and `cd` into it
+2. Run `yarn install`
+3. Run `yarn setup`
+4. Run `yarn migrate`
+5. Run `yarn seed`
+
+Lolisafe is now installed, configured and ready. Now you need to serve it to the public by using a domain name.
+
+6. Check the [nginx](docs/nginx.md) file for a sample configuration that has every step to run lolisafe securely on production.
+7. After you finish setting up nginx, you need to start lolisafe by using pm2. If you want to use something else, figure out how. Run the following commands:
+```bash
+pm2 start npm --name "lolisafe.api" -- run api
+pm2 start npm --name "lolisafe.site" -- run site
+```
+(More info on why pm2 [here](docs/pm2.md))
+
+8. Profit
+
+### Cloudflare
+
+If you want to run your site through CloudFlare because of the obvious advantages it has, lolisafe has your back. Unless you manually modify the `.env` file, uploads through the website will be uploaded in chunks thus bypassing CloudFlare's 100mb upload limit per file.
