+In your FLASK_CONF (check the installation directions for where yours is) file, make sure you have the database URI filled in (in some previous documentation this was called config.py):
+
+For MySQL / MariaDB:
+```
+SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql://username:password@127.0.0.1/db_name'
+```

+For Postgres:
+```
+SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://powerdnsadmin:powerdnsadmin@127.0.0.1/powerdnsadmindb'
+```
+
+Open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:9191` to visit PowerDNS-Admin web interface. Register a user. The first user will be in the Administrator role.

+# Setup MySQL database for PowerDNS-Admin
+
+This guide will show you how to prepare a MySQL or MariaDB database for PowerDNS-Admin.
+
+We assume the database is installed per your platform's directions (apt, yum, etc).
+
+## Setup database:
+
+Connect to the database (Usually using `mysql -u root -p` - then enter your MySQL/MariaDB root users password if applicable), then enter the following:
+```
+CREATE DATABASE `powerdnsadmin` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `powerdnsadmin`.* TO 'pdnsadminuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+quit
+```
+- If your database server is located on a different machine then change 'localhost' to '%'
+- Replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with a secure password.
+
+## Install required packages:
+### Red-hat based systems:
+
+### Debian based systems:
+```
+apt install libmysqlclient-dev
+```
+
+### Install python packages:
+```
+pip3 install mysqlclient==2.0.1
+```
+
+
+## Known issues:
+
+Problem: If you plan to manage large zones, you may encounter some issues while applying changes. This is due to PowerDNS-Admin trying to insert the entire modified zone into the column history.detail.
+
+Using MySQL/MariaDB, this column is created by default as TEXT and thus limited to 65,535 characters.
+
+Solution: Convert the column to MEDIUMTEXT:
+```
+USE powerdnsadmin;
+ALTER TABLE history MODIFY detail MEDIUMTEXT;
+```

+# Setup Postgres database for PowerDNS-Admin
+
+We assume you already have a postgres database software installed for your platform.
+
+### Create database
+The below will create a database called powerdnsadmindb and a user of powerdnsadmin.
+
+```
+$ sudo su - postgres
+$ createuser powerdnsadmin
+$ createdb powerdnsadmindb
+$ psql
+postgres=# alter user powerdnsadmin with encrypted password 'powerdnsadmin';
+postgres=# grant all privileges on database powerdnsadmindb to powerdnsadmin;
+```
+
+Note:
+- Please change the information above (db, user, password) to fit your setup.
+
+### Setup Remote access to database:
+If your database is on a different server postgres does not allow remote connections by default.
+
+To change this follow the below directions:
+```
+[root@host ~]$  sudo su - postgres
+# Edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
+# Change the following line:
+listen_addresses = 'localhost'
+# to:
+listen_addresses = '*'
+# Edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
+# Add the following lines to the end of the 
+host    all             all              0.0.0.0/0                       md5
+host    all             all              ::/0                            md5
+
+[postgres@host ~]$ exit
+[root@host ~]$ sudo systemctl restart postgresql
+```
+
+On debian based systems these files are located in:
+```
+/etc/postgresql/<version>/main/
+```
+
+## Docker
+TODO: Setup a local Docker postgres database ready to go (should probably move to the top).
+```
+docker run --name pdnsadmin-test -e BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 
+-e SECRET_KEY='a-very-secret-key'

+## Requirements:
+
+- A linux based system with python 3 or later available. Debian and Red-hat based systems are recommended, others (Arch-based for example) may work but are currently not tested.
+- A database for PowerDNS-Admin, if you are using a database for PowerDNS itself this must be separate to that database.
