No sound, with subtitles German and English subtitles – switch them on and off with “CC” in the player. The video is hosted on this server and only loads when you press play. The steps below are the full text of the video.

Goal

You create another website with its own database, media, users and keys.

Prerequisites

A network account on the main website.
The domain points to the same folder in your hosting (document root httpdocs/public).

Step by step

Transcript: every step matches one subtitle in the video.

Network › “Neue Website” (new website): short name, domains and kit – like “site:create” on the command line.
Created: its own configuration with its own keys. The next steps are shown in the box.
Point the domain to the same folder (httpdocs/public) in your hosting – the first request creates everything.
Then “Öffnen” (open) – or create the first local account via /admin/setup with the setup token (blurred here).
