+## openSUSE Leap (manual method using `git clone` and python virtual environment)
+
+Tested on `openSUSE Leap 15.4`, openSUSE Tumbleweed may also work.
+
+**Install requirements**
+
+```shell
+zypper in -y python310 python3-virtualenv python3-pip
+```
+
+**Install FastAPI-DLS**
+
+```shell
+BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls
+SERVICE_USER=dls
+mkdir -p ${BASE_DIR}
+cd ${BASE_DIR}
+git clone https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls .
+python3.10 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+deactivate
+useradd -r ${SERVICE_USER} -M -d /opt/fastapi-dls
+chown -R ${SERVICE_USER} ${BASE_DIR}
+```
+
+**Create keypair and webserver certificate**
+
+```shell
+CERT_DIR=${BASE_DIR}/app/cert
+SERVICE_USER=dls
+mkdir ${CERT_DIR}
+cd ${CERT_DIR}
+# create instance private and public key for singing JWT's
+openssl genrsa -out ${CERT_DIR}/instance.private.pem 2048 
+openssl rsa -in ${CERT_DIR}/instance.private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out ${CERT_DIR}/instance.public.pem
+# create ssl certificate for integrated webserver (uvicorn) - because clients rely on ssl
+openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout  ${CERT_DIR}/webserver.key -out ${CERT_DIR}/webserver.crt
+chown -R ${SERVICE_USER} ${CERT_DIR}
+```
+
+**Test Service**
+
+This is only to test whether the service starts successfully.
+
+```shell
+BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls
+SERVICE_USER=dls
+cd ${BASE_DIR}
+su - ${SERVICE_USER} -c "${BASE_DIR}/venv/bin/uvicorn main:app --app-dir=${BASE_DIR}/app"

+```shell
+BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls

+DLS_PORT=443
+LEASE_EXPIRE_DAYS=90
+DATABASE=sqlite:///${BASE_DIR}/app/db.sqlite
