# Documentation files

In this directory, you will find files relating to how DrawIt can be built, installed, auto-started, put behind a reverse proxy, and the thought process behind the creation of this application.

## Getting started

If you want to try out the lessons before you install your own instance, you can sign up at https://drawit.dou.bet.

If you are ready to self-host your own instance of DrawIt, keep reading!

## Docker

The easiest way to setup your own instance is to use docker. See [DOCKER.md](DOCKER.md) for more details.

## Building from source

If you do not want to use docker, you can build it from source. See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for an in depth guide.

## Reverse proxy

It is *highly* recommended to use a reverse proxy in front of DrawIt. See [REVERSE_PROXIES.md](REVERSE_PROXIES.md) for some helpful information on how to set this up.

## Auto-starting

If you do not use docker, you should auto start DrawIt on system boot. See [AUTO_STARTING.md](AUTO_STARTING.md) for some options on how to do this.
