+
+### Demo
+
+Go to sh.hydev.org for demo.
+
+### Self-Host
+
+1. Create a google safebrowsing API key (this is free!)
+2. Install docker
+3. Write the following in `docker-compose.yml`
+
+```docker-compose.yml
+# docker-compose.yml
+version: '3.3'
+services:
+  lisho:
+    container_name: lisho
+    restart: always
+    ports:
+      - 'YOUR PORT HERE:8000'
+    image: hykilpikonna/lisho:latest
+    environment:
+      - GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR KEY HERE"
+    build: .
+```
+
+4. `docker-compose up -d lisho && docker-compose logs -f lisho`
+
+### Self-Host under NGINX
+
+5. Write an NGINX config file and put it in `/etc/nginx/conf.d`:
+
+```nginx.conf
+# lisho.conf
+server
+{
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    listen [::]:443 ssl;
+    server_name YOUR.SUBDOMAIN.HERE;
+
+    location ^~ /
+    {
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:YOUR PORT HERE/;
+        proxy_redirect off;
+    }
+}
+
+# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS for all servers.
+server
+{
+    listen 80 default_server;
+    listen [::]:80 default_server;
+    server_name default;
+    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
+}
+```
+
+6. Sign a SSL certificate with `certbot` (free)
