***Who is this document for?***
This document is about running Friendica servers for relatively large numbers of people, not about private servers for yourself and five to ten friends. If you are only setting up a server for yourself and your family or friends, you may find some interesting information in this how-to - but you can largely disregard warnings on issues like system overload. _In essence, you will understand Friendica better after reading this document - but it's only a must-read for people intending to set up much larger sites._

_In essence, people running personal servers will understand Friendica better after reading this document - but it's only a must-read for those intending to set up much larger sites._
That's because running a public or community Friendica server requires special consideration of every step. The effects of anything you decide are multiplied by the number of members you have - meaning that even minor issues for personal servers become big deals for public or community sites.
