Installation Guide Video

   TYPE     HOST        VALUE
   A         @          your-server-IP

   To install DoKlika on a subdomain (e.g. https://sub.domain.com) use these DNS Records instead:

   TYPE     HOST        VALUE
   A        sub         your-server-IP

2. Connect to your VPS/server via SSH (Click here if you don't know how to use SSH)
