+Installing Papercups chat on a server using Docker involves several steps: 
+
+• Prepare your server: 
+	• Ensure your server is updated to the latest version. 
+	• Install Docker and Docker Compose on your server. Instructions vary slightly depending on your operating system (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian). 
+
+• Clone the Papercups repository: 
+
+    git clone https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups.git
+    cd papercups
+
+• Configure Papercups: 
+	• Papercups requires certain environment variables for production deployments. The most crucial are SECRET_KEY_BASE and BACKEND_URL. 
+	• Generate a SECRET_KEY_BASE using a command like openssl rand -base64 64 or mix phx.gen.secret (if you have Elixir installed). 
+	• Set BACKEND_URL to the domain or IP address where Papercups will be accessible. 
+	• You can set these in a .env file or directly within the docker-compose.prod.yml file. Refer to the docker-compose.prod.yml and .env.example files in the repository for more details and other optional variables. 
+
+• Run with Docker Compose: 
+	• Navigate to the papercups directory (where you cloned the repository). 
+	• Start the Papercups services using the production Docker Compose file: 
+
+        docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
+
+The -d flag runs the containers in detached mode, meaning they will run in the background. 
+
+• Access Papercups: 
+	• Once the containers are running, Papercups should be accessible via the BACKEND_URL you configured, typically on port 4000 (unless configured otherwise). 
+
+Optional but Recommended: 
+
+• Nginx as a reverse proxy: Use Nginx to handle SSL certificates (with Certbot/Let's Encrypt) and point a domain name to your Papercups service, allowing access on standard HTTP/HTTPS ports (80/443). 
+• Port forwarding: If self-hosting on your own hardware, configure your router to port forward the necessary ports (e.g., 80, 443, 4000) to your server's IP address. 
+
+AI responses may include mistakes.
