+# Configuration examples
+
+These are starting configurations for a **new** host. They are not a dump of
+tilde.club's live configs and are not installed by applying the repository patch.
+Replace example domains and accounts, read the linked chapter, and validate on
+the target host before reloading a service.
+
+| File | Context | Instructions |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ssh/00-tilde.conf` | Global sshd config/drop-in | [SSH](../docs/ssh.md) |
+| `nginx/tilde-static.conf` | nginx `http` context | [Web](../docs/web.md) |
+| `nginx/member-php.inc` | nginx server block; ordering matters | [PHP](../docs/web.md#add-php-with-a-deliberate-execution-identity) |
+| `php-fpm/member.conf` | PHP-FPM pool | [PHP](../docs/web.md#add-php-with-a-deliberate-execution-identity) |
+| `dovecot/tilde.conf` | Standalone Dovecot 2.4 config | [Mail](../docs/mail.md) |
+| `postfix/main.cf.fragment` | Merge into Postfix `main.cf` | [Mail](../docs/mail.md) |
+| `postfix/master.cf.fragment` | Merge named submission services | [Mail](../docs/mail.md) |
+| `gemserv/config.toml` | Version-matched Gemini configuration | [Publishing](../docs/publishing.md) |
+| `gemserv/gemserv.service` | systemd service for the new-host layout | [Publishing](../docs/publishing.md) |
+| `borgmatic/config.yaml` | borgmatic 2.x with Borg 1.x | [Backups](../docs/backups.md) |
+
+The mail fragments deliberately do not overwrite distribution service entries,
+install credentials, or open firewall ports. The backup example needs a remote
+repository, protected passphrase file, and prepared database dumps.
