+# Multi-Tenant furt Setup-Anleitung
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Dateien platzieren
+
+```bash
+# OpenBSD/FreeBSD
+mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/furt
+mkdir -p /usr/local/share/furt
+
+# Oder Linux  
+mkdir -p /etc/furt
+mkdir -p /usr/local/share/furt
+
+# Source code
+cp -r src/ /usr/local/share/furt/
+cp -r config/ /usr/local/share/furt/
+```
+
+### 2. Konfiguration erstellen
+
+```bash
+# Beispiel-Config kopieren und anpassen
+# OpenBSD/FreeBSD:
+cp furt.conf.example /usr/local/etc/furt/furt.conf
+
+# Linux:
+cp furt.conf.example /etc/furt/furt.conf
+
+# Config editieren
+vi /usr/local/etc/furt/furt.conf  # oder /etc/furt/furt.conf
+```
+
+### 3. Start-Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+# /usr/local/bin/furt
+
+cd /usr/local/share/furt
+lua src/main.lua
+```
+
+## Multi-Tenant Konfiguration
+
+### Beispiel für 3 Websites
+
+```ini
+[server]
+host = 127.0.0.1
+port = 8080
+
+[smtp_default]
+host = mail.dragons-at-work.de
+port = 465
+user = noreply@dragons-at-work.de
+password = your-smtp-password
+
+# Website 1: Dragons@Work
+[api_key "daw-key-abc123"]
+name = "Dragons@Work Website"
+permissions = mail:send
+allowed_ips = 1.2.3.4/32, 10.0.0.0/8
+mail_to = admin@dragons-at-work.de
+mail_from = noreply@dragons-at-work.de
+mail_subject_prefix = "[DAW] "
+
+# Website 2: Biocodie (gleiche SMTP, andere Empfänger)
+[api_key "bio-key-def456"]
+name = "Biocodie Website"
+permissions = mail:send
+allowed_ips = 5.6.7.8/32
+mail_to = contact@biocodie.de
+mail_from = noreply@biocodie.de
+mail_subject_prefix = "[Biocodie] "
+
+# Website 3: Kunde mit eigenem SMTP
+[api_key "kunde-key-ghi789"]
+name = "Kunde X Website"
+permissions = mail:send
+allowed_ips = 9.10.11.12/32
+mail_to = info@kunde-x.de
+mail_from = noreply@kunde-x.de
+mail_smtp_host = mail.kunde-x.de
+mail_smtp_user = noreply@kunde-x.de
+mail_smtp_pass = kunde-smtp-password
+```
+
+## Admin-Workflow
+
+### Neue Website hinzufügen
+
+1. **Config editieren:**
+```bash
+vi /usr/local/etc/furt/furt.conf
+```
+
+2. **Neuen API-Key-Block hinzufügen:**
+```ini
+[api_key "neue-website-key"]
+name = "Neue Website"
+permissions = mail:send
+allowed_ips = 12.34.56.78/32
+mail_to = contact@neue-website.de
+mail_from = noreply@neue-website.de
+```
+
+3. **furt neu starten:**
+```bash
+systemctl restart furt
+# oder
+pkill -f "lua.*main.lua" && /usr/local/bin/furt &
+```
+
+### Website testen
+
+```bash
+# Test mit curl
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/mail/send \
+  -H "X-API-Key: neue-website-key" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Test User",
+    "email": "test@example.com", 
+    "subject": "Test Message",
+    "message": "This is a test message"
+  }'
+```
+
+## Vorteile des Multi-Tenant-Systems
+
+### ✅ Ein Server, viele Websites
+- Alle Websites nutzen eine furt-Instanz
+- Jede Website hat eigenen API-Key
+- Verschiedene Empfänger-Adressen
+- Verschiedene SMTP-Server möglich
+
+### ✅ Admin-freundlich
+- Nginx-style Config-Format
+- Einfach neue Websites hinzufügen
+- Klare Struktur pro Website
+- Kommentare möglich
+
+### ✅ Sicher
+- IP-Restrictions pro Website
+- Permissions pro API-Key
+- Separate SMTP-Credentials möglich
+- Rate-Limiting bleibt erhalten
+
+### ✅ Flexibel
+- Default SMTP + website-spezifische SMTP
+- Subject-Prefix pro Website
+- Verschiedene Mail-Adressen
+- Beliebig viele Websites
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+Das neue System ist **vollständig kompatibel** mit der alten config/server.lua API. Bestehende Module (auth.lua, main.lua, etc.) funktionieren ohne Änderungen.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Config-Parsing-Fehler
+```bash
+# Config-Syntax prüfen
+lua -e "require('src.config_parser').parse_file('/usr/local/etc/furt/furt.conf')"
+```
+
+### Mail-Routing testen
+```bash
+# Logs anschauen
+tail -f /var/log/furt.log
+
+# Debug-Mode
+FURT_DEBUG=true lua src/main.lua
+```
