+# Online Server
+Install the BudgetMasterServer on an online accessible server to allow connections from multiple clients.
+
+### Step 1: Put BudgetMasterServer.jar in desired location
+ 
+
+### Step 2: Put settings.json in same location
+
+
+### Step 3a: Use a mysql database
+- Create an empty mysql database
+- Fill in the according lines in `settings.json`:  
+`"databaseType": "mysql",`  
+`"databaseUrl": "your_database_url_and_port",` (e.g. localhost:3306/)  
+`"databaseName": "your_database_name",`  
+`"databaseUsername": "your_database_user_name",`  
+`"databasePassword": "your_password"`  
+  
+- proceed with step 4a or 4b
+
+
+### Step 3b: Use a sqlite database
+- Fill in the according lines in `settings.json`:  
+`"databaseType": "sqlite",`  
+`"databaseUrl": "save_path_for_the_database_file",`  
+  
+___Note:__ If you don't provide a `"databaseURL"` the database file will be saved in the same location as BudgetMasterServer_  
+___Note:__ `"databaseName"`, `"databaseUsername"` and `"databasePassword"` are not relevant for sqlite_
+  
+- proceed with step 4a or 4b
+
+### Step 4a: Use BudgetMasterServer in an local area network
+If you are going to use the BudgetMasterServer in a local area network where it isn't exposed to the internet you could use the default certificate and keystore that comes bundled with the BudgetMasterServer.  
+To do this you have to set the `keystorePath` to `"default"` and the `keystorePassword` to `"BudgetMaster"` in `settings.json`.  
+  
+___Note:__ It is technically possible to use the default keystore even if the BudgetMasterServer could be accessed on the internet.  
+This is definetly __NOT__ recommended as the certificate integrity and communication security will be harmed!_
+
+### Step 4b: Use BudgetMasterServer with internet access
+- Get a HTTPS certificate or create a self-signed one  
+_The communication between the server and client will be HTTPS-encrypted so you will need a certificate for the server._
+- Create a Java Keystore holding your certificate  
+_[How to create a keystore from a certificate](https://github.com/deadlocker8/BudgetMaster/wiki/HTTPS)_  
+  
+- fill in the corresponding lines in `settings.json`:  
+`"keystorePath": "path_to_keystore_file",`  
+`"keystorePassword": "your_keystore_password"` 
+
+### Step 5: Launch BudgetMasterServer.jar
+all neccessary tables should be created automatically
+
+
+
+___Hint:__ If you encounter any problems or errors please have a look into the generated error.log in the same directory as the BudgetMasterServer.jar_
