+
+---
+
+### **1. Install Docker & Docker Compose**
+Ensure that Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your server.
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker.io docker-compose
+```
+
+Verify installation:
+
+```sh
+docker --version

+```
+
+---
+
+### **2. Download and Set Up Appwrite**

+```
+
+Or manually clone the repository:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite.git
+cd appwrite
+```
+
+---
+
+### **3. Configure Environment for Custom Domain**
+Modify the `.env` file:
+
+```sh
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env
+```
+
+Update these values to match your custom domain:
+
+```env
+_APP_DOMAIN=yourdomain.com
+_APP_DOMAIN_TARGET=yourdomain.com
+_APP_CONSOLE_DOMAIN=console.yourdomain.com
+_APP_API_DOMAIN=api.yourdomain.com
+_APP_GRAPHQL_DOMAIN=graphql.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+Save and exit.
+
+---
+
+### **4. Set Up Reverse Proxy (Nginx)**
+If you want to use **Nginx** as a reverse proxy, install it:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install -y nginx
+```
+
+Create a new Nginx configuration:
+
+```sh
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/appwrite
+```
+
+Add the following configuration:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name yourdomain.com api.yourdomain.com console.yourdomain.com graphql.yourdomain.com;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:80;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Enable the configuration:
+
+```sh
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/appwrite /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo systemctl restart nginx
+```
+

+
+```sh
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
+### **6. Secure with Let's Encrypt (Optional)**
+To enable SSL using **Certbot**, install it and generate an SSL certificate:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y
+sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com -d api.yourdomain.com -d console.yourdomain.com -d graphql.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+Ensure auto-renewal:
+
+```sh
+sudo certbot renew --dry-run
+```
+
+---
+
+### **7. Access Appwrite**
+- Open **`https://console.yourdomain.com`** in a browser.
