+
+- Clone the repository `git clone https://github.com/csaf-poc/csaf_distribution.git `
+
+- Build Go components
+ ``` bash
+ cd csaf_distribution
+ go build -v ./cmd/...
+```
+
+- [Install](http://nginx.org/en/docs/install.html)  **nginx**

+# Setup provider
+
+The provider is meant to run as an CGI program in an nginx enviroment.
+
+The following instructions are for an Debian 11 server setup.
+
+```(shell)
+apt-get install nginx fcgiwrap
+cp /usr/share/doc/fcgiwrap/examples/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/fcgiwrap.conf
+systemctl status fcgiwrap.servic
+systemctl status fcgiwrap.socket
+systemctl is-enabled fcgiwrap.service
+systemctl is-enabled fcgiwrap.socket
+```
+
+```(shell)
+cd /var/www
+chgrp -R www-data .
+chmod -R g+w .
+```
+
+Content of `/etc/nginx/fcgiwrap.conf`
+
+```
+# Include this file on your nginx.conf to support debian cgi-bin scripts using
+# fcgiwrap
+location /cgi-bin/ {
+  # Disable gzip (it makes scripts feel slower since they have to complete
+  # before getting gzipped)
+  gzip off;
+
+  # Set the root to /usr/lib (inside this location this means that we are
+  # giving access to the files under /usr/lib/cgi-bin)
+  root  /usr/lib;
+
+  # Fastcgi socket
+  fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
+
+  # Fastcgi parameters, include the standard ones
+  include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
+
+  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.go)(.*)$;
+
+  # Adjust non standard parameters (SCRIPT_FILENAME)
+  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/lib$fastcgi_script_name;
+
+  fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
+  fastcgi_param CSAF_CONFIG /usr/lib/csaf/config.toml;
+}
+```
+
+Add to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default`:
+
+```
+server {
+
+    location / {
+        # Other config
+        # ... 
+
+        # For atomic directory switches
+        disable_symlinks off;
+
+        # directory listings
+        autoindex on;
+    }
+
+    # enable CGI
+
+    include fcgiwrap.conf;
+}
+```
+
+Place the binary under `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/csaf_provider.go`.
+Make sure `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/` exists.
+
+Create configuarion file under `/usr/lib/csaf/config.toml`:
+
+```
+# upload_signature = true
+# key = "/usr/lib/csaf/public.asc"
+key = "/usr/lib/csaf/private.asc"
+#tlps = ["green", "red"]
+domain = "http://192.168.56.102"
+#no_passphrase = true
+```
+
+with suitable replacements.
+
+Create the folders:
+```(shell)
+curl http://192.168.56.102/cgi-bin/csaf_provider.go/create
+```
