+Website to protect images from facial recognition
+
+
+## Installation
+
+You can host the website on your own computer, by following these steps:
+
+**Note:** this guide assumes you're running Ubuntu and have already installed node.js on your system.
+
+1. Open a terminal window
+2. Download the code: `git clone https://git.bitscuit.be/bitscuit/Fawkes.git`
+3. Move into the project directory: `cd Fawkes`
+4. Install the dependencies: `npm i socket.io`
+
+You can now edit the `main.js` file with your favourite text editor and change the following:
+
+- Set the value of `hostname` to your machine's IP address on your local network. This will make it possible for anyone on your local network to join the game.
+- Set the value of `port` to whatever port you want the game to run at.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Once you've installed the website on your system, run `./launch` to start the webserver.
+
+You can now visit the site by entering `<IP-address>:<port>` in your browser.
+
+If you want others to be able to access it over the Internet, you should forward a port on your router and redirect it to your machine. More information about this can be found [here](https://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/). Others can then visit the website by entering your *public* IP address in their browser.
+
+
+## SystemD
+
+For a more permanent setup, I recommend you create a SystemD unit for your Fawkes website.
+
+Copy the following blueprint to `/etc/systemd/system/fawkes.service` and adjust it according to your specific setup:
+´´´
+[Unit]
+Description=Fawkes Webserver
+
+[Service]
+User=msta
+ExecStart=/home/msta/Fawkes/launch
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+´´´
+
+Afterwards, run `sudo systemctl enable fawkes.service` to enable the service.
