+### 2. Without Docker
+
+Installing without Docker is a bit more complicated, here's what you need to do:
+
+1. Clone this repository into a directory of your choice. (e.g. `/var/www/planka`)
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /var/www/planka
+cd /var/www/planka
+git clone https://github.com/plankanban/planka.git .
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies for client and build it.
+
+```bash
+cd client
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+**Note**: You can use `yarn` or `pnpm` instead of `npm`.
+
+3. Copy the `build` directory to the `server/public` directory.
+
+```bash
+cp -r build ../server/public
+```
+
+4. Install dependencies for server.
+
+```bash
+cd ../server
+npm install
+```
+
+5. Configure environment variables.
+
+```bash
+cp .env.sample .env
+
+# Edit .env file (You could use nano, vim, etc.)
+nano .env
+```
+
+**Note**: Before continuing, make sure you have your selected database created and running.
+
+6. Copy start script from the root directory to the `server` directory.
+
+```bash
+cp ../docker-start.sh start.sh
+```
+
+7. Start the server.
+
+```bash
+./start.sh
+```
+
+**Note**: You can use `pm2` or `systemd` to run the server in the background.
+
+## Additional information
+
+### Nginx configuration
+
+Here is an example of Nginx configuration for Planka, make sure to replace `<domain>` with your domain name, and make sure to configure the SSL.
+
+```nginx
+upstream planka {
+   server localhost:1337;
+   keepalive 32;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl http2;
+    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
+    server_name <domain>;
+
+    access_log /var/log/nginx/planka-access.log;

 ### Logging
 
 Planka currently allows you to expose the application's logfile directory to the host machine via a shared volume. This feature is not enabled by default.
