## Setup Remark42 Instance on Your Server
### Installation in Docker
_This is the recommended way to run remark42_
- copy provided `docker-compose.yml` and customize for your needs
- make sure you **don't keep** `ADMIN_PASSWD=something...` for any non-development deployments
- pull prepared images from the DockerHub and start - `docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d`
- alternatively compile from the sources - `docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d`
### Installation with Binary
- download archive for [stable release](https://github.com/umputun/remark42/releases) or [development version](https://remark42.com/downloads)
- unpack with `gunzip` (Linux, macOS) or with `zip` (Windows)
- run as `remark42.{os}-{arch} server {parameters...}`, i.e. `remark42.linux-amd64 server --secret=12345 --url=http://127.0.0.1:8080`
- alternatively compile from the sources - `make OS=[linux|darwin|windows] ARCH=[amd64,386,arm64,arm]`
## Setup on Your Website
Add config for Remark on a page of your site:
```html
```
- `REMARK_URL` – the URL where is Remark42 instance is served.
- `YOUR_SITE_ID` - the ID that you passed to Remark42 instance on start.
For example:
```html
```
After that place the code snippet right after config.
```html
```
::: note 💡
**Note that:** You can place the config with the snippet in any place of the HTML code of your site. If it is closer to start of the HTML (for example in ``) it will start loading sooner and show comments faster.
:::
Put the next code snippet on a page of your site where you want to have comments:
```html
```
After that widget will be rendered inside this node.
If you want to set this up on a Single Page App, see [appropriate doc page](https://github.com/umputun/remark42/blob/master/docs/spa.md).
