QuickSetup:

1. Create a User+DB, Import the content/sql/night-sky.sql.
2. Rename content/configs/config.example.php to config.php and regex.example.php to regex.php.
3. Configure content/configs/config.php:

• _Domain needs to be updated to the Domain you want to use, otherwise Cookies wont work.
• _mail_sender needs to be updated, to make contact work properly. The mails will get forwarded to the local mailserver.
• Finally you need to update the Database part, with the Details you created the Database with.
• Make sure to use TLS on your Domain otherwise cookies will not apply on Plain.
• The rest can be edited on your needs.

1. Put cron/night.php and cron/remote.php into Crontab to run every 60 seconds, use a non privileged user for that. => cron.example
2. Deploy the file check.php on some remote servers and add them to the table remote.
   

• You can find the file for that in content/remote/
  
• The Field IP can be also contain a URL like "check.domain.com", make sure the Domain is reachable over TLS, plain wont work.
  
• The Domain should not contain "https://" or "/check.php"
