apt update && apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv borgbackup
```
Clone the repository

```
Activea the venv

```

```
Create a configuration file in `community_backup/community_backup/community_backup/configration.py`, e.g. by copying and adjusting the `example_configuraton.py` next to that location.
The settings are explained in detail in the setting section.
Apply the migrations:
```bash

}
}
handle {
reverse_proxy http://localhost:8000
}
