```
### Launch Radicale in the background
```
##### Cursor will simply blink in Terminal
sudo -H python3 -m radicale --config "" --storage-filesystem-folder=~/.var/lib/radicale/collections
```

## Shut down Test Server
### Logging off

- Click "Logout[fake]"
- Return to Terminal where you launched Radicale in the background (still running) and type Ctrl+C

[BLINKING CURSOR]
^C
```
## Configure Server with Real Configuration File
### Configure Secure Users
- Create some users and passwords
```
##### Install dependencies for htpasswd command (if needed)
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
##### Put user "fake" in a new "users" file
sudo htpasswd -B -c /etc/radicale/users fakeuser
New password:
Re-type new password:
##### Add another user
sudo htpasswd -B /etc/radicale/users user2
New password:
Re-type new password:
##### Install dependencies for bcrypt encryption method
sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade passlib bcrypt
```
- Tell Radicale where to find users by editing the /etc/radicale/config file [remember, you installed Radicale as root with "sudo -H" above] in your Terminal
- Add lines to [auth] section of config file
- Note that your config file should already look finished (~200 lines), not empty
```
sudo nano /etc/radicale/config
##### Add these lines under relevant portions of [auth] section
type = htpasswd
htpasswd_filename = /path/to/users
# encryption method used in the htpasswd file
htpasswd_encryption = bcrypt
```
- Add some safety limits to /etc/radicale/config file
```
##### Add these lines under relevant portions of [server] section
max_connections = 20
# 1 Megabyte
max_content_length = 10000000
# 10 seconds
timeout = 10
##### Add these lines under relevant portions of [auth] section
# Average delay after failed login attempts in seconds
delay = 1
```
## Test Configuration
- Run Radicale with our /etc/radicale/config file (rather than blank configuration file for Test Server)
```
##### Note that you may need to comment out some sections in /etc/radicale/config if this does not work first by adding a "#" before "[well-known]" and "[git]" if you see similar errors
##### ERROR: Invalid configuration: Invalid section 'well-known' in config
sudo -H python3 -m radicale --storage-filesystem-folder=~/.var/lib/radicale/collections
```
