-create and configure database as described below
+2) create local_settings.py and config.jsonc
-after that
 
-create / update static files
+1) create file /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py with the following content:
-    
-    ./manage.py collectstatic -l --noinput
-    ./manage.py update_static 
-    ./manage.py compile_pyc
-
-* Database
-  We use postgresql but other databases might also work
-  (make sure you have the python bindings installed).
-
-  create a postgresql database
-
-    sudo -u postgres createdb  -T template0 --locale=C --encoding=UTF8 -O pandora pandora
-
-  (setting locale to C is required to fix a bug in sort if set to UTF8)
-
-  now add settings to local_settings.py:
     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             'NAME': 'pandora',
             'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
             'USER': 'pandora',
+            'PASSWORD': '',
         }
     }
+    DB_GIN_TRGM = True
+    BROKER_PASSWORD = "use_your_own"
 
-  and run ./manage.py syncdb to populate the database.
+    #with apache x-sendfile or lighttpd set this to True
+    XSENDFILE = False
 
-  Optionaly use pg_trgm to improve find speed (requires postgres 9.1 and postgresql-contrib)
+    #with nginx X-Accel-Redirect set this to True
-
-    echo "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" | sudo -u postgres psql pandora
-    ./manage.py sqlfindindex | ./manage.py dbshell
-    echo "DB_GIN_TRGM = True" >> local_settings.py
-
-
-
-* RabbitMQ
-  For background tasks RabbitMQ is required, to install rabbitmq:
-
-    sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
-
-  and create permissions according to BROKER_* in local_settings.py i.e.:
-
-    sudo rabbitmqctl add_user pandora box
-    sudo rabbitmqctl add_vhost /pandora
-    sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /pandora pandora ".*" ".*" ".*"
-
-
-* H264
-    for h264 videos, you need ffmpeg with x264 and libfaac enabled,
-    you also need to install qt-faststart (from ffmpeg/tools)
-    (you can use medibuntu.org packages or compile ffmpeg yourself)
-    to enable h264 derivatives add "mp4" to video.formats in your config.jsonc
-
-
-== Deployment ==
-* Install upstart scripts
-check etc/init for upstart scripts, adjust path and user and put into /etc/init
-
-To run pan.do/ra in production, we use nginx, using apache2 is also possible.
-
-* nginx setup
-    sudo apt-get install nginx 
-
-  add this to local_settings.py:
     XACCELREDIRECT = True
 
-  setup nginx according to etc/nginx/vhost.in
+2) create config.jsonc
+    config.jsonc holds the configuration for your site.
+    To start you can copy /srv/pandora/pandora/config.pandora.jsonc
+    to /srv/pandora/pandora/config.jsonc but have a look at 
+    https://wiki.0x2620.org/wiki/pandora/configuration and
+    config.0xdb.jsonc config.padma.jsonc for configuration options.
 
-* apache2 setup
+3) initialize database
-    apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-xsendfile
+    su pandora
+    cd /srv/pandora/pandora
+    ./manage.py syncdb --noinput
+    ./manage.py sqlfindindex | ./manage.py dbshell
+    ./manage.py collectstatic -l --noinput
+    ./manage.py update_static
+    ./manage.py compile_pyc
 
-  add this to local_settings.py:
+4) install init scripts and start daemons
-    XSENDFILE = True
+    cp /srv/pandora/etc/init/*.conf /etc/init/
-
-  setup apache according to etc/apache2/vhost.in
-
-now you can start pandora services:
     service pandora start
-  service pandora-tasks start
     service pandora-encoding start
+    service pandora-task start
+
+5) Setup Webserver
+a) nginx (recommended)
+    apt-get install nginx
+    cp /srv/pandora/etc/nginx/pandora /etc/nginx/sites-available/pandora
+    cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
+    ln -s ../sites-available/pandora
+
+    #read comments in /etc/nginx/sites-available/pandora for setting
+    #your hostname and other required settings
+    #make sure XACCELREDIRECT = True in /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py
+    
+    service nginx reload
+
+b) apache2 (if you need it for other sites on the same server)
+    apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-xsendfile
+    a2enmod xsendfile
+    cp /srv/pandora/etc/apache2/pandora.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/pandora.conf
+    a2ensite pandora
+
+    #read comments in /etc/apache2/sites-available/pandora.conf for setting
+    #your hostname and other required settings
+    #make sure XSENDFILE = True in /srv/pandora/pandora/local_settings.py
+    
+    service apache2 reload
+
+
+Now you can open pandora in your browser, the first user to sign up will become admin.
+
+
+* A note about providing H.264 versions
+    For H.264 videos, you need ffmpeg with x264 and libfaac enabled,
+    you also need to install qt-faststart (from ffmpeg/tools)
+    (you can use medibuntu.org packages or compile ffmpeg yourself)
+    to enable H.264 derivatives add "mp4" to video.formats in your config.jsonc
