+<!-- ## Deploy
+
+You can use the webhook template `webhook.conf.template` and the `deploy.sh` script in `.github/webhooks/` for an automatic deployment from a (github) webhook.
+
+For this to work follow these steps (using alpine):
+
+```bash
+apk add webhook
+cp .github/webhooks/hooks.json.template .github/webhooks/hooks.json
+vi .github/webhooks/hooks.json
+# adjust content of .github/webhooks/hooks.json
+# replace all variables accordingly
+
+# copy webhook service file
+cp .github/webhooks/webhook.template /etc/init.d/webhook
+vi /etc/init.d/webhook
+# adjust content of /etc/init.d/webhook
+chmod +x /etc/init.d/webhook
+
+service webhook start
+rc-update add webhook boot
+
+vi /etc/nginx/http.d/default.conf
+# adjust the nginx config
+# location /hooks/ {
+#     proxy_http_version 1.1;
+#     proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+#     proxy_set_header   Connection 'upgrade';
+#     proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
+#     proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
+#     proxy_set_header   Host $host;
+# 
+#     proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:9000/hooks/;
+#     proxy_redirect     off;
+# 
+#     #access_log $LOG_PATH/nginx-access.hooks.log hooks_log;
+#     #error_log $LOG_PATH/nginx-error.backend.hook.log warn;
+# }
+```
+
+For the github webhook configure the following:
+
+| Field                                                | Value                         |
+|------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
+| Payload URL                                          | <https://it4c.dev/hooks/github> |
+| Content type                                         | application/json              |
+| Secret                                               | A SECRET                      |
+| SSL verification                                     | Enable SSL verification       |
+| Which events would you like to trigger this webhook? | Send me everything.           |
+| Active                                               | [x]                           |
+
+## How it works
+
+This repository utilizes `vuepress-deploy` to automatically deploy the current `master` branch to github pages.
+
+![repo-architecture](./docs/images/docs/architecture.png)
+
+A Pullrequest-Review-Workflow is applied to get changes into the `master`. From there on an automatic github workflow script utilizing `vuepress-deploy` is taking over. The vuepress page is built and force-pushed to the `gh-pages` branch, which in turn is then deployed on the github pages infrastructure and bound to the web address [IT4C.dev](https://www.it4c.dev). -->
