There could be a need for step-by-step full walk-throughs for a specific operating system, database, and web server.

[farmOS.org](http://farmOS.org) already does a great job of documenting use cases with docker and setting up a [development environment](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/blob/2.x/docker/docker-compose.development.yml). I see more of need to cover the multitude of different ways to configure a [production environment](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/blob/2.x/docker/docker-compose.production.yml).

Great example:

- [https://farmer-eds-shed.com/farmos-version-2-raspberry-pi-install/](https://farmer-eds-shed.com/farmos-version-2-raspberry-pi-install/)

Existing [farmos.org](http://farmos.org) docs:

- [Configuring a Local Https Reverse Proxy - farmOS.org](https://v1.farmos.org/development/configure-local-https-reverse-proxy/) (only on v1 site documentation)
- [Getting started | farmOS](https://farmos.org/development/environment/)
- [Installing farmOS | farmOS](https://farmos.org/hosting/install/)

Ideas for the future:

- apache as web server
- different databases
- with and without docker

Other documentation formatting inspiration:  
drop-down menu to select operating system [How To Install the Apache Web Server on Ubuntu 20.04 | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-20-04)  
user contributed notes at the bottom of php docs [PHP: Installation and Configuration - Manual](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php)
