Thank you so much, that would be great.
But actually, I would do this follow the steps in the installation
documentation[1] which were mentioned by Julia Kreger. I need to
prioritize the project native content as much as possible.

So this blog I can only be a reference, will not follow it
completely.I don't want to waste your time, I hope you don't write
because of my needs. But if you think he's useful and available for
the project, as someone who doesn't know much about ironic,
