+# Installing Trunk-Server Locally (no HTTPS)
+
+## Prerequisites:
+
+1. **Set static IP for trunk-server**
+2. **Set DNS for admin account**: Point `api` to the trunk-server IP.
+3. **Install Ubuntu Server 24.04**
+4. **Update system:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt upgrade
+   ```
+5. **Add subdomains to `/etc/hosts`:**
+   ```bash
+   127.0.0.1       openmhz.test account.openmhz.test api.openmhz.test admin.openmhz.test media.openmhz.test
+   ```
+6. **Flush DNS cache:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
+   ```
+
+7. **Create a file in your user's home directory for AWS credentials:**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir ~/.aws
+   nano credentials
+   ```
+   Add the following content to the file:
+   ```ini
+   [default]
+   aws_access_key_id = [..]
+   aws_secret_access_key = [..]
+   ```
+
+## Install Docker (from Docker Docs)
+
+1. **Update and install prerequisites:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
+   sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
+   ```
+
+2. **Add Docker's official GPG key:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+   sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Docker repository to APT sources:**
+   ```bash
+   echo \
+   "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
+   $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
+   sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
+   ```
+
+4. **Update system and install Docker:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
+   ```
+
+## Setting up MINIO (on another machine/VM)
+
+- It is possible to run MinIO on the same machine (though not recommended).
+- Follow the MinIO installation guide for Linux: [MinIO Installation Docs](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/installation.html)
+- For a small home setup, use **Single-Node Single-Drive (SNSD)** or **Standalone** mode.
+
+### High-Level MinIO Crash Course:
+
+1. **Create a bucket** (this is where you will store audio from TrunkServer).
+2. **Set Access Policy for the bucket to Public** (Reminder: This is for local, NON-Internet only).
+3. **Create an Access Key and Secret**:
+   - Copy the secret as you can only view it once. If lost, create a new key and delete the old one.
+
+## Install Trunk Server
+
+1. **Clone the repository:**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/openmhz/trunk-server
+   cd trunk-server
+   ```
+
+2. **Copy example environment file:**
+   ```bash
+   cp test.env.example test.env
+   ```
+
+3. **Edit the environment file:**
+   ```bash
+   nano test.env
+   ```
+   Add the following:
+   ```bash
+   export S3_PROFILE='default'
+   export S3_REGION='us-east-1'
+   export S3_ENDPOINT='http://minio.domain.com:9000'
+   export S3_BUCKET='bucketname'
+   ```
+   Save and exit.
+
+4. **Adjust `uploads.js` to work with MinIO path:**
+   ```bash
+   nano ~/trunk-server/backend/controllers/uploads.js
+   ```
+   - In Nano, press `ALT+n` to show line numbers.
+   - Around line 50, add the following crucial line:
+     ```javascript
+     const client = new S3Client({
+       requestHandler: new NodeHttpHandler({
+         httpsAgent: agent,
+       }),
+       credentials: fromIni({ profile: s3_profile }),
+       endpoint: s3_endpoint,
+       region: s3_region,
+       maxAttempts: 2,
+       forcePathStyle: true,
+     });
+     ```
+
+5. **Build and start the server:**
+   ```bash
+   ./docker-test.sh build   # This will take a while
+   ./docker-test.sh up -d   # This starts the server as a daemon
+   ```
+
+6. **Make sure you have the following commands available when running `./docker-test.sh`:**
+   ```bash
+   ./docker-test.sh build
+   ./docker-test.sh up -d
+   ./docker-test.sh down
+   ```
+
+## Creating Accounts (without an email server)
+
+1. Go to `account.(yourtrunkservername).(yourdomain).com`.
+2. Click **Register**.
+3. Fill out the form and click **Register** (nothing will happen right away).
+4. Connect to the right Docker container:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec -i -t $(docker ps -a | grep mongo | awk '{print $1}') /bin/bash
+   ```
+
+5. **Access MongoDB shell:**
+   ```bash
+   mongosh
+   ```
+
+6. **Select the `scanner` database:**
+   ```bash
+   use scanner
+   ```
+
+7. **Find and update user to confirm email:**
+   ```bash
+   db.users.find()
+   db.users.updateOne(
+      { "_id" : ObjectId("63a620d0a63b087b005f6726") },
+      {
+        $set: { "confirmEmail" : true },
+        $currentDate: { lastModified: true }
+      }
+   )
+   ```
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+### TrunkServer Logs:
+```bash
+docker-compose logs --follow --tail 50
+```
+
+### Build, Stop, and Start TrunkServer:
+```bash
+./docker-test.sh build
