 # Getting Started
 
-This guide walks you through installing Changemaker Lite, running your first deployment, and logging into the admin dashboard.
+Changemaker Lite is a self-hosted campaign platform that runs entirely on Docker. This guide takes you from zero to a working deployment — whether you're evaluating locally or launching for a live campaign.
 
+!!! tip "Need help getting set up?"
+    **Bunker Operations** provides managed infrastructure and hands-on setup assistance for organizations running Changemaker Lite. We handle domains, tunnels, SMTP, and servers so you can focus on your campaign. **Get in touch:** [bnkops.com](https://bnkops.com) | `admin@bnkops.ca`
 
-![Admin Dashboard](../../assets/images/screenshots/getting-started/dashboard.png){ loading=lazy }
+---
 
-## Prerequisites
+## What You'll Need
 
-- **Docker** 24+ and **Docker Compose** v2
-- **OpenSSL** (for secret generation)
-- A Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended) or macOS for development
-- At least 2 GB RAM and 10 GB disk space
-- A domain name (optional, but recommended for production)
+Before deploying, gather the essentials. The requirements differ depending on whether you're running a **quick local test** or a **production deployment** serving real users.
 
-## Quick Install (Pre-built Images)
+### :material-laptop:{ .lg } Development (Local Testing)
 
-The fastest way to deploy — no source code, no compilation:
+All you need is Docker — no domain, tunnel, or SMTP required:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-docker:{ .lg .middle } **Docker 24+ & Compose v2**
+
+    ---
+
+    The only hard requirement. All 30+ services run as containers.
+
+-   :material-lock:{ .lg .middle } **OpenSSL**
+
+    ---
+
+    Used by the config wizard to auto-generate 21 secrets (JWT, encryption keys, passwords).
+
+-   :material-memory:{ .lg .middle } **2 GB RAM / 10 GB Disk**
+
+    ---
+
+    Minimum for core services. 4 GB recommended if enabling media, chat, or monitoring.
+
+</div>
+
+!!! tip "MailHog captures all emails locally"
+    In dev mode, every outbound email is caught by MailHog at `http://localhost:8025` — no SMTP provider needed.
+
+### :material-server:{ .lg } Production Deployment
+
+For a deployment that serves real users, you'll also need:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-web:{ .lg .middle } **A Domain Name**
+
+    ---
+
+    Changemaker Lite uses **subdomain routing** — `app.`, `api.`, `docs.`, `git.`, and 10+ more subdomains are created automatically. Wildcard DNS (`*.yourdomain.org`) is the simplest approach.
+
+    Budget ~$10–15/year from any registrar.
+
+-   :material-tunnel:{ .lg .middle } **A Reverse Tunnel or Public IP**
+
+    ---
+
+    Your server needs to be reachable from the internet. Built-in support for **[Pangolin](https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin)** — a self-hosted tunnel with SSL, subdomain routing, and access control. The admin dashboard includes a one-click setup wizard.
+
+    *Alternatives: Cloudflare Tunnel, a VPS with public IP, or any reverse proxy with SSL.*
+
+-   :material-email-fast:{ .lg .middle } **SMTP Email Provider**
+
+    ---
+
+    Campaign messages, password resets, volunteer invitations, and newsletters all need real email delivery.
+
+    Recommended: **[Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail)** (privacy-focused), **[Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com)** (100/day free), **[Amazon SES](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/)** (cheapest at scale), or **[Brevo](https://www.brevo.com)** (300/day free).
+
+-   :material-linux:{ .lg .middle } **A Linux Server**
+
+    ---
+
+    Any Linux with Docker. Ubuntu 22.04+ LTS recommended. A VPS from [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com), [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com), or [Linode](https://www.linode.com) works great — or a spare machine on your network if using a tunnel.
+
+</div>
+
+??? info "Optional services that enhance your deployment"
+
+    These aren't required but unlock additional features:
+
+    | Service | Purpose | Free Tier |
+    |---------|---------|-----------|
+    | **[Stripe](https://stripe.com)** | Donations, merchandise, membership plans | Free account, pay-as-you-go |
+    | **[Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/pricing)** or **[Google Maps](https://developers.google.com/maps)** | Better geocoding accuracy for mapping | 100K req/mo (Mapbox) or $200/mo credit (Google) |
+    | **[MaxMind GeoLite2](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup)** | Geographic analytics (visitor locations) | Free account |
+    | **[Android phone + Termux](https://termux.dev)** | SMS campaigns via physical phone gateway | Free — no third-party SMS costs |
+    | **Public IP + UDP 10000** | Jitsi self-hosted video conferencing | Free (requires open firewall port) |
