# how do i actually build this server.md
mainly writing for myself so that i won't forget next time lmao

### 1. boot up copyparty
this is the easiest step lmao


### 2. fight with nginx
i heard somewhere that it's better to use caddy?
idk i just use what google telled me

i tried to get https cert directly from cloudflare
but i failed, it won't work
turns out you need `certbot` and `A DNS` rather than that lmao
