 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install git+https://git.ccc-rheintal.ch/spacefreak/ddns-service.git
+
+# With MariaDB support:
+pip install "ddns-service[mysql] @ git+https://git.ccc-rheintal.ch/spacefreak/ddns-service.git"
 ```
 
-### Dependencies
+Requires Python 3.11+. Dependencies installed automatically: dnspython, peewee, argon2-cffi (+ pymysql for mysql extra).
 
-- Python 3.11+
-- dnspython

+## Service setup
+
+1. Create system user and group:
+```bash
+useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin ddns
+```
+
+2. Create directories:
+```bash
+mkdir -p /etc/ddns-service /var/lib/ddns-service /var/log/ddns-service
+chmod 750 /etc/ddns-service /var/lib/ddns-service
+chown ddns:root /etc/ddns-service
+chown ddns:ddns /var/lib/ddns-service /var/log/ddns-service
+```
+
+3. Service autostart
+```bash
+# Systemd setup
+wget -O /etc/systemd/systemd/ddns-service.service https://git.ccc-rheintal.ch/spacefreak/ddns-service/raw/branch/master/files/ddns-service.service
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable ddns-service
