+This tutorial explains how to setup a local test server that can be launched on the same machine as client.
+
+# Official release
+
+This section explains how to setup a server from the official release of Xonotic. It assumes that you have extracted it in `~/Games/Xonotic/Release`.
+
+First you need to create a file called `~/.xonotic/data/server.cfg` with the following content:
+
+```
+sv_public 1
+hostname "My Test server"
+maxplayers 32
+```
+
+This config creates a vanilla deathmatch server that will be visible to other players on the server list.
+
+Next, you will probably want to create a launcher for your server so you can launch it from your desktop. Create a file called `~/Desktop/Xonotic Server.desktop` with the following content:
+
+```
+[Desktop Entry]
+Version=1.0
+Type=Application
+Terminal=true
+Exec=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/xonotic-linux64-dedicated -sessionid 1
+Name=Xonotic Server
+Icon=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/misc/logos/icons_png/xonotic_32.png
+Path=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/
+```
+
+Now try double clicking on that launcher in your desktop and it should launch a dedicated server. Then you can launch client and connect to it.
+
+# Git version
+
+This section explains how to setup a server from the git repository of Xonotic. It assumes that you have cloned it in `~/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic`.
+
+You can use `server.cfg` from the previous section.
+
+Create a file called `~/Desktop/Xonotic Git Server.desktop` with the following content:
+
+```
+#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
+
+[Desktop Entry]
+Version=1.0
+Type=Application
+Terminal=true
+Exec=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/darkplaces/darkplaces-dedicated -xonotic -sessionid 1
+Name=Xonotic Git Server
+Icon=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/misc/logos/icons_png/xonotic_32.png
+Path=/home/user/Stuff/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/
+```
+
+Again, double click on this launcher to launch server. Have fun!
