+# Personal Website
 
+This is the source code of my [personal website](https://weirdcat.su).
+
+# Setup with Docker Compose
+
+Clone this repository and enter it
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.weirdcat.su/weirdcat/personal-website
+cd personal-website
+```
+
+Choose the stable branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout stable
+```
+
+Customize the .env file. Make sure to change the parameters for your site's hostname and  PostgreSQL username and password, as well as the environment variables for JWT
+```
+# Trusted hostname
+HOSTNAME=localhost
+
+# --- Container ports and hostnames ---
+
+BACKEND_HOST=personal-site-backend
+FRONTEND_HOST=personal-site-frontend
+DB_HOST=personal-site-db
+
+# --- Database settings ---
+
+DB_USER=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=postgres
+DB_DB=data
+
+# --- JWT token settings ---
+
+JWT_SECRET=ThisValueIsObviouslyVerySecret
+JWT_EXPIRATION_ACCESS=2m # Expiration time for access tokens
+JWT_EXPIRATION_REFRESH=7d # Expiration time for refresh tokens
+JWT_ISSUER=personal-site
+JWT_AUDIENCE=users
+```
+
+Run the application via docker-compose
+```bash
+sudo docker-compose up -d
+```
+# Setting up reverse proxy
+In order to make the application accessible, a reverse proxy must be setup. I'm lazy to explain that now, so it's temporarily recommended to refer to [this article](https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/using-nginx-proxy-manager/).
