-  The external URL must not contain a path component or trailing slash. If you want to serve WireGuard Portal on a subpath, use the `base_path` setting.
   **Important:** If you are using a reverse proxy, set this to the external URL of the reverse proxy, otherwise login will fail. If you access the portal via IP address, set this to the IP address of the server.

-### Unreleased versions (master branch builds)
-
-Unreleased versions can be fetched directly from the artifacts section of the [GitHub Workflow](https://github.com/h44z/wg-portal/actions/workflows/docker-publish.yml?query=branch%3Amaster).
 
 
 ## Install
 
-The following command can be used to install the downloaded binary (`wg-portal`) to `/opt/wg-portal/wg-portal`. It ensures that the binary is executable.
-
 ```shell
 sudo mkdir -p /opt/wg-portal
 sudo install wg-portal /opt/wg-portal/
 ```
 
-To handle tasks such as restarting the service or configuring automatic startup, it is recommended to use a process manager like [systemd](https://systemd.io/).

-> **Note:** To run WireGuard Portal as systemd service, you need to download the binary for your architecture beforehand.
-> 
-> The following examples assume that you downloaded the binary to `/opt/wg-portal/wg-portal`. 
-> The configuration file is expected to be located at `/opt/wg-portal/config.yml`.
-
-To run WireGuard Portal as a systemd service, you can create a service unit file. The easiest way to do this is by using `systemctl edit`:
-
-```shell
-sudo systemctl edit --force --full wg-portal.service
-```
-
-Paste the following content into the editor and adjust the variables to your needs:
-
-```ini
-[Unit]
-Description=WireGuard Portal
-ConditionPathExists=/opt/wg-portal/wg-portal
-After=network.target
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-User=root
-Group=root
-AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
-
-Restart=on-failure
-RestartSec=10

-WorkingDirectory=/opt/wg-portal
-Environment=WG_PORTAL_CONFIG=/opt/wg-portal/config.yml
-ExecStart=/opt/wg-portal/wg-portal
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-Alternatively, you can create or modify the file manually in `/etc/systemd/system/wg-portal.service`. 
-For systemd to pick up the changes, you need to reload the daemon:
-
-```shell
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-```
-
-After creating the service file, you can enable and start the service:
-
-```shell
-sudo systemctl enable --now wg-portal.service
-```
-
-To check status and log output, use: `sudo systemctl status wg-portal.service` or `sudo journalctl -u wg-portal.service`.
