This commit adds a VitePress build to the main repository,
aiming to ditch GitHub Wiki. Moving further, we're going to
host our own documentation site eithor on GitHub Pages or
something alike.

# Clash as a Service
While Clash is meant to be run in the background, there's currently no elegant way to implement daemons with Golang, hence we recommend you to daemonize Clash with third-party tools.
## systemd
Copy Clash binary to `/usr/local/bin` and configuration files to `/etc/clash`:
```shell
cp clash /usr/local/bin
cp config.yaml /etc/clash/
cp Country.mmdb /etc/clash/
```
Create the systemd configuration file at `/etc/systemd/system/clash.service`:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Clash daemon, A rule-based proxy in Go.
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/clash -d /etc/clash
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
After that you're supposed to reload systemd:
```shell
systemctl daemon-reload
```
Launch clashd on system startup with:
```shell
systemctl enable clash
```
Launch clashd immediately with:
```shell
systemctl start clash
```
Check the health and logs of Clash with:
```shell
systemctl status clash
journalctl -xe
```

## Docker
We provide pre-built images of Clash and Clash Premium. Therefore you can deploy Clash with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) if you're on Linux. However, you should be advised that it's [not recommended](https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash/issues/2249#issuecomment-1203494599) to run **Clash Premium** in a container.
::: warning
This setup will not work on macOS systems due to the lack of [host networking and TUN support](https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash/issues/770#issuecomment-650951876) in Docker for Mac.

::: code-group
```yaml [Clash]
services:
clash:
image: ghcr.io/dreamacro/clash
restart: always
volumes:
- ./config.yaml:/root/.config/clash/config.yaml:ro
# - ./ui:/ui:ro # dashboard volume
ports:
- "7890:7890"
- "7891:7891"
# - "8080:8080" # The External Controller (RESTful API)
network_mode: "bridge"
```
```yaml [Clash Premium]
services:
clash:
image: ghcr.io/dreamacro/clash-premium
restart: always
volumes:
- ./config.yaml:/root/.config/clash/config.yaml:ro
# - ./ui:/ui:ro # dashboard volume
ports:
- "7890:7890"

cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
devices:

network_mode: "host"
```
:::
Save as `docker-compose.yaml` and place your `config.yaml` in the same directory.
::: tip
Before proceeding, refer to your platform documentations about time synchronisation - things will break if time is not in sync.
:::
When you're ready, run the following commands to bring up Clash:
```shell
docker-compose up -d
```
You can view the logs with:
```shell
docker-compose logs
```
Stop Clash with:
```shell
docker-compose stop
```
