 First I would recommend you to install Raspbian to the RPi.
 
-Raspbian is based on Debian, a Linux distribution. But you dont have to be worried about this as I have created to onboard anyone to Linux and particularly to [Debian based distros here](https://jalcocert.github.io/Linux/debian/).

-Under the **RPi Setup** section on this page, I will be including an extra explanation here where some specifics apply to the RPi.

 apt update
 apt upgrade

+
+Now plug the SD Card to the RPi and make sure to [enable SSH Access](https://jalcocert.github.io/Linux/docs/linux__cloud/selfhosting/) & open the related port 22.
+
+You can **pre-enable SSH Access** by:
+
+1. Open the boot partition of the SD card. This partition should be automatically accessible from any computer, as it is formatted in a standard FAT32 format.
+2. In the root (main) directory of the boot partition, create an empty file named `ssh`. Ensure the file has **no file extension** — it should not be ssh.txt or any other variant.

+### RaspAP with Docker
+
+We can also combine [RaspAP with Docker](https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-webgui?tab=readme-ov-file#docker-support) to make a perfect bundle:
+
+1. Get [Docker and Portainer](https://jalcocert.github.io/Linux/docs/linux__cloud/selfhosting/) UI Ready
+2. Run RaspAP as Docker container with: *as per [Official Github](https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-docker)*
+
+```sh
+#sudo systemctl status docker
+
+docker run --name raspap -it -d --privileged --network=host -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --cap-add SYS_ADMIN ghcr.io/raspap/raspap-docker:latest
