 If you don't have a local clone of the Lemmy repo yet, just run the following command:
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git -b federation
+git clone https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy.git -b federation
 ```
 
 If you already have the Lemmy repo cloned, you need to add a new remote:
 ```bash
-git remote add federation https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git
+git remote add federation https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy.git
 git checkout federation
 git pull federation federation

+## Running on a server
+
+Note that federation is currently in alpha. Only use it for testing, not on any production server, and be aware
+that you might have to wipe the instance data at one point or another.
+
+Follow the normal installation instructions, either with [Ansible](administration_install_ansible.md) or
+[manually](administration_install_docker.md). Then replace the line `image: dessalines/lemmy:v0.x.x` in 
+`/lemmy/docker-compose.yml` with `image: dessalines/lemmy:federation`. Also add the following in
+`/lemmy/lemmy.hjson`:
+
+```
+    federation: {
+        enabled: true
+        instance_whitelist: example.com
+    }
+```
+
+Afterwards, and whenver you want to update to the latest version, run these commands on the server:
+
+```
+cd /lemmy/
+sudo docker-compose pull
+sudo docker-compose up -d
+```
