 # Installation
 
-## All Environments (FrankenPHP)
+## Obtaining the Files
 
-The easiest way to get up and running quickly is by using [FrankenPHP](https://frankenphp.dev), a version of [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) that runs PHP in its process. There is a `Caddyfile` in the `/src` directory which will configure the site to run with FrankenPHP.
+Releases are named `frc-[version]` and are provided in both `.zip` and `.tar.bz2` formats on [the release page](https://git.bitbadger.solutions/bit-badger/feed-reader-central/releases) (starting with beta1). Select a folder on the server that will host this instance and unarchive the release there.
 
-For Linux / Mac users:
-- Follow [their instructions](https://frankenphp.dev/docs/#standalone-binary) for downloading a binary for your system
-- Rename that binary to `frankenphp` and make it executable (`chmod +x ./frankenphp`)
-- Move that binary to `/usr/local/bin`
+## Selecting a Server
 
-For Windows users, the steps are the same; however, the binary should be named `frankenphp.exe` and be placed somewhere within your system's `PATH`.
+Configuration samples are provided in the `/servers` directory for [Apache 2](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/), [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/), and [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/).
 
-Once those steps are complete, from the `/src` directory, run `frankenphp run`.
+### Apache 2
 
-_(More environments will be detailed as part of a later release; an nginx reverse proxy via FastCGI is another common way to run PHP applications.)_
+Configure a virtual host (if appropriate), then copy `/servers/htaccess` to `.htaccess` in the directory where the release archive was expanded. This file enables the extensionless rewrites required for the URLs to work.
+
+### nginx
+
+The configuration file `/servers/nginx.conf` is a full virtual host configuration. Update it with the paths for your installation, then add it to your configuration (on Debian/Ubuntu, copy it to `/etc/nginx/sites-available`, create a symlink in `/etc/nginx/sites-enabed`, and reload the nginx config).
+
+### Caddy (with FastCGI)
+
+`/servers/fastcgi.Caddyfile` contains configuration to host the site using Caddy. Ensure the PHP FPM address is correct, then rename it to `Caddyfile` and place it in the directory where the release archive was expanded. Running `caddy run` will serve the site with the given parameters.

+### Caddy (with FrankenPHP)

 ## PHP Requirements
 
-This is written to target PHP 8.3, and requires the `curl`, `DOM`, and `SQLite3` modules and the `php-cli` feature. _(FrankenPHP contains all these as part of its build.)_

 # Setup and Configuration
 
-## Site Address
-
-The default `Caddyfile` will run the site at `http://localhost:8205`. To have the process respond to other devices on your network, you can add the server name to that to line 5 (ex. `http://localhost:8205, http://server:8205`); you can also change the port on which it listens. (Note that if `http` is not specified, Caddy will attempt to obtain and install a server certificate. This may be what you want, but that also could be a source of startup errors.)

 ## Feed Reader Central Behavior
 
 Within the `/src` directory, there is a file named `user-config.dist.php`. Rename this file to `user-config.php`; this is where customizations and configuration of the instance's behavior are placed.

 - `Feed::PURGE_READ` purges non-bookmarked read items for a feed whenever it is refreshed. This is the most aggressive purging strategy, but it is also the only one that will not purge unread items.
 - `Feed::PURGE_BY_DAYS` purges non-bookmarked items that are older than `PURGE_NUMBER` days old. This is the default value, and `PURGE_NUMBER`'s default value is 30; items will be kept for 30 days, read or unread.
 - `Feed::PURGE_BY_COUNT` purges items to preserve at most `PURGE_NUMBER` non-bookmarked items for each feed.
