 # CTAMail
 
-Hectamail rewrite in Go
\ No newline at end of file
+This is a rewrite of HectaMail, a now derelict python-based maddy frontend, using Golang.
+
+## Nice, how do I host my own
+
+Just git clone, go build, copy & edit the config and run the executable:
+```
+git clone https://concord.hectabit.org/HectaBit/CTAMail.git --depth=1
+cd CTAMail
+go build
+cp config.ini.example config.ini
+nano config.ini # Or vim or what have you
+./ctamail
+```
+
+Read `ERRORS.md` for more infomation on server administration and errors.
+
+## Great! What's the API?
+
+You don't need the API. It's not designed to be interfaced with outside of itself, unlike other Burger-based software, and is entirely self contained. If you *must*, we do not provide offical support and you should just read `main.go`.
