# Overview (/operations)



This part of the docs is for the person who owns the servers. If you only deploy apps on an instance someone else runs, you want [Platform](/) instead.

Running Unbind is meant to be boring. One command installs it, the UI updates it, and you add servers when you need more room.

## The short version [#the-short-version]

1. Get a Linux server and a domain. See [Requirements](/operations/requirements).
2. Run the installer. See [Install](/operations/install).
3. Add the DNS records it asks for. See [DNS Setup](/operations/dns-setup).
4. Open your domain and create your account.

## Day to day [#day-to-day]

* **More capacity**: [add a server](/operations/servers).
* **New version**: [update from the UI](/operations/updating-unbind).
* **Something is off**: [Troubleshooting](/operations/troubleshooting).

## What you are responsible for [#what-you-are-responsible-for]

Unbind takes care of deploying, routing, certificates, logs and metrics. It does not take care of the machine underneath. That part is yours:

* **Operating system updates** and reboots.
* **A firewall** that leaves ports 80 and 443 open.
* **Backups.** Turn on [database backups](/services/databases#backups) to a bucket outside your servers. Volumes are not backed up for you.
* **Disk space.** Watch it under [System Metrics](/operations/system-metrics).
