***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 thinking of 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.

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.
