+# Audon
+
+Audio + Mastodon = Audon
+
+Audon is a service for Mastodon (and Pleroma) users to create and join rooms of live audio conversations.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **[Go](https://go.dev/)** powers the backend server
+- **[Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/), [Vite](https://viejs.dev/) and [Vuetify](https://next.vuetifyjs.com/)** are used for the browser frontend
+- **[LiveKit](https://livekit.io/)** as WebRTC SFU and TURN server
+- **[MongoDB](https://mongodb.com/) and [Redis](https://redis.io/)** for storing data
+
+## Deployment
+
+Only Docker-based installation is currently supported. This repository provides pre-configured `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yaml`.
+
+Note that the LiveKit service runs in the Host-network mode, thus the following ports have to be available in the host machine.
+
+- 7880/tcp
+- 7881/tcp
+- 50000-60000/udp
+- 5349/tcp
+- 3478/udp
+
+These ports are changeable in `config/livekit.yaml`. Please refer to the documentation of LiveKit [here](https://docs.livekit.io/oss/deployment/).
+
+### Requirements
+
+- **Docker** 20.10+
+- **docker-compose** 2.14+
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### Edit Config Files
+
+The followings files need to be configured to run Audon.
+
+- `.end.production`
+- `config/livekit.yaml`
+
+First, create them by coping the sample files.
+
+```
+cp .env.production.sample .env.production && cp config/livekit.sample.yaml config/livekit.yaml
+```
+
+Then, create a pair of API key and secret to connect to LiveKit.
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it livekit/generate
+```
+
+You will be asked some questions, but they do not matter. Just enter random domains and keep hitting Return/Enter key.
+
+Then generated API key and secret appear as follows:
+
+```
+API Key: your-key
+API Secret: your-secret
+```
+
+Copy and paste these values to `.env.production` and `config/livekit.yaml`, for example,
+
+```yaml
+keys:
+  your-key:your-secret
+```
+
+```conf
+# Same as the keys field in livekit.yaml
+LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your-key
+# Same as the keys field in livekit.yaml
+LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your-secret
+```
+
+### Prepare Reverse Proxy
+
+The easiest way is to use [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) as TLS endpoints. Here is an example Caddyfile:
+
+```
+audon.example.com {
+        encode gzip
+        reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8100
+}
+
+livekit.example.com {
+        reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:7880
+}
+
+h2://livekit-turn.example.com {
+        reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:5349
+}
+
+h3://livekit-turn.example.com {
+        reverse_proxy h3://127.0.0.1:3478
+```
+
+You may want to use your own TLS certificates with `tls` directive of Caddyfile.
+
+### Build and Start Containers
+
+With your config files ready, run the following command to start containers.
+
+```
+docker compose build && docker compose up -d
+```
