-> useradd -d /home/gradido -m gradido
-> passwd gradido

-!!! ATTENTION:
+#### Add the new user `gradido` to `sudo` group
 
-- NGINX:
-  - Be aware to set the values for NGINX in the following files according to your needs before you install NGINX!
-    - `./nginx/sites-available/gradido.conf`
-    - `./nginx/sites-available/update-page.conf`
-- Commands in `./install.sh`:
-  - The commands for setting the paths in the used env variables are not working directly in the terminal, consider the out commented commands for this purpose, see below.
+```bash
+usermod -a -G sudo gradido

+```
+
+### Update system
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get upgrade

+
+### Install security tools
+
+#### Install: `ufw`
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install ufw
+sudo ufw allow http
+sudo ufw allow https
+sudo ufw allow ssh
+sudo ufw enable
+```
+
+#### Install: `fail2ban`
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y fail2ban
+sudo /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
+```
+
+### Install `Gradido` code
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y git

+git clone https://github.com/gradido/gradido.git
+```
+
+### Timezone
+
+*Note: This is needed - since there is Summer-Time included in the default server Setup - UTC is REQUIRED for production data.*
+
+```bash
+sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC
+sudo timedatectl set-ntp on
+sudo apt purge ntp
+sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd
+# timedatectl to verify
+```
+
+### Adjust the values in `.env`
+
+***!!! Attention !!!***
+
+*Don't forget this step!
+All your following installations in `install.sh` will fail!*
+
+*Notes:*
+
+- *`;` cannot be part of any value!*
+- *The GitHub secret is created on GitHub in Settings -> Webhooks.*
+
+#### Create `.env` and set values
+
+```bash

+$ nano .env
+# adjust values accordingly
+```
+
+## Use Commands In `install.sh` Manually In Your Shell For Now
+
+The script `install.sh` is not yet ready to run directly.
+Use it as pattern to do all steps manually in your terminal shell.
+
+*TODO: Bring the `install.sh` script to run in the shell.*
+
+***!!! Attention !!!***
+
+- *Commands in `install.sh`:*
+  - *The commands for setting the paths in the used env variables are not working directly in the terminal, consider the out commented commands for this purpose.*
+
+Follow the commands in `./install.sh` as installation pattern.
