This package is the Debian version of webserver.
+Setup and Configuration
+-----------------------
+
+The default configuration in Debian contains an example configuration file in
+/etc/webserver.conf and serves an example html page from
+/usr/lib/webserver/example and an example webbox from
+/var/lib/webserver/webbox. You need to replace the latter for a writable
+location to get a writable webbox).
+
+For initial startup, do the following:
+
+* Edit /etc/webserver.conf
+
+* Enable in Debian:
+
+ # systemctl enable webserver.service
+
+* Start:
+
+ # systemctl start webserver
+
+For debugging purposes, do the following:
+
+* Query Status:
+
+ # systemctl status webserver
+
+ or observe /var/log/syslog
+
+To finally disable the service if you don't need it anymore:
+
+ # systemctl disable webserver.service
+
