+# HowTo install the selfhost api variant on Apache
+
+First you want to install the apache2.
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install apache2
+```
+After install all of the relevent apache modules:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get -y install php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-intl php-pear php-imagick php7.4-imap php-memcache
+```
+Then install certbot for free ssl certs :
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y certbot
+```
+After this then create a basic site config for the fake api server, do this by creating a file under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf with the example conf [example](docs/apache/000-default-le-ssl.conf).
+
+Then generate a ssl certificate for the website with certbot.
+```bash
+sudo certbot -d [PUBLIC_ACCESSIBLE_API_DOMAIN]
+```
+Once this is done you should check if you have all of the required loaded php modules required for this server. You can check this by running `sudo apache2ctl -M` and the output should look be something like
+```
+sudo apache2ctl -M
+Loaded Modules:
+ core_module (static)
+ so_module (static)

+ setenvif_module (shared)
+ socache_shmcb_module (shared)
+ ssl_module (shared)
+ status_module (shared)
+```
+
+Then clone this repo if you've not done this already and `cd` into the root of the project:
+```bash
+git clone https://gitlab.simonmicro.de/simonmicro/pritunl-fake-api.git
+cd ./pritunl-fake-api
+```
+After this is done copy over the API server files to the server and set permissions
+```bash
+sudo cp -R ./www/* /var/html/
+sudo chown www-data:www-data  -R /var/www/html
+sudo chmod -R 774 /var/www/html/
+```
+Then restart apache2 to make sure all of the configuration is loaded
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart apache2
+```
+Once this is done you should get a response when you visit `https://[PUBLIC_ACCESSIBLE_API_DOMAIN]/notification`!
