 On the settings page some convenience features can be configured, as well as the color theme.
 
+Additional info on how to use Envoy can be found [here](https://git.kske.dev/zdm/envoy/wiki) in the client section.
+
+### System requirements
+
+To run Envoy, you have to install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of at least version 11.
+You can download an open source implementation from [here](https://jdk.java.net/15/).
+
+If you are running a Linux distribution, make sure that an emoji font like [Noto emoji](https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji) is installed.
+Most major Linux distributions like Debian, Arch and Gentoo have a Noto emoji package available inside their package repositories.
+
 ## Server Administrator
 
 To set up an Envoy server, download the package from the release page.
 
-Because the project lacks external documentation for the moment, please refer to the Javadoc inside the source code to configure your Envoy instance.
+To configure the behavior of Envoy Server, please have a look at the [documentation](https://git.kske.dev/zdm/envoy/wiki), specifically the server part.
+
+### System requirements
+
+To run Envoy server, you have to install a JRE as mentioned above, as well as a database.
+In development, PostgreSQL is used, which you can download from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
+
+Look at the file `META-INF/persistence.xml` inside `envoy-server.jar` for the database configuration.
+
+After creating a database and configuring the credentials, the server will initialize the necessary tables automatically.
