+# Launch your Platform
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you used the AUR package, this should be as simple as
+> `systemctl start jellything`.
+
+For other installations, run the `jellything` binary with the configuration
+file's path as its first argument or set it in `JELLYTHING_CONFIG`. Jellything
+will start and serve your library at
+[https://127.0.0.1:8080/](https://127.0.0.1:8080/)
+
+```sh
+jellything /etc/jellything.yaml
+JELLYTHING_CONFIG=/etc/jellything.yaml jellything
+```
+
+It is also advised to use jellything with a reverse proxy. Configure the network
+interface with the environment variables `BIND_ADDR` and `PORT`. Stderr logging
+can be configured with `LOG`.
