The easiest way to start for newbie

Hey! I wanted to run uchan on Linux, but it fails on build. I replaced docker-compose with docker compose in Makefile, and then run it with command make setup. It shows warning and after some building steps finally crashes:

WARN[0000] The "UCHAN_PORT" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

I assume that README.md is not up to date while the last update was 4 years ago. Can you help me with easy start?

[floens]

I recommend waiting for a bit (famous last words ;)) I'm writing a Helm chart, and the docker-compose stack will be removed (or only for development purposes). With the Helm chart, you'll be able to deploy µchan and it's dependencies on Kubernetes.

[streanger]

@floens ok, I will wait for updates

[floens]

I published the Helm charts to the repo, and I've started with proper documentation. There's just one page now, but I hope that it will be useful: https://floens.github.io/uchan/installation.html

@floens thanks, I'll try it in my free time and give you feedback
