 ## Installation Guide
 
+This guide will follow my process of installing the software to run on `mds-stage.com` and serve blogs on `mds-stage-blog.com`.
+
+I need at least one of each server type.  I will, however, use two WebServers and have one on the west coast and another on the east coast.  I will need six servers, and I will name them `panel`, `store`, `build`, `certbot`, `web-west`, `west-east`.
+
+I want the database server running on `store` not to be exposed to the Internet at large, and I will use the private networking feature of my VPS provider to get private IPs for `panel`, `store`, `build`, and `certbot`.  This means I also need to have all of those machines running in the same datacenter.
+
+| Machine  | Public IP       | Private IP      | Domain                    |
+| -------- | --------------- | --------------- | ------------------------- |
+| panel    |  |  | panel.mjb-stage.com    |
+| build    |  |  | build.mjb-stage.com    |
+| store    |  |  | store.mjb-stage.com    |
+| certbot  |  |  | certbot.mjb-stage.com  |
+| web-west |  | N/A             | web-west.mjb-stage.com |
+| web-east |  | N/A             | web-east.mjb-stage.com |
+
+Once I have these machines provisioned I lay out the information about them in the table above.  I will need this information to begin writing the configuration file.
+
+For each of these machines, I update DNS records so that the domain maps to the public IP address for each machine.
+
+Additionally, I add two DNS records for `*.mds-stage-blog.com`, one A record with `` and another A record with ``.  This maps all sub-domains of `mds-stage-blog.com` to the web servers so that they may serve the blogs to people on the Internet.
+
+Before proceeding from this section, review the section checklist to ensure you have completed all item.

+| Section Checklist Items                             |
+| --------------------------------------------------- |
+| Provision machine for panel, build, store, certbot  |
+| Provision one or more machines for webservers       |
+| Create table with your machine information          |
+| Add DNS records for each machine                    |
+| Add wildcard DNS record for each WebServer          |

 ### Step 1: Machine Selection
 
 First, I should layout the servers.  At least one panel, build, store and certbot server will be needed to run the platform.  One or more webservers will be needed to serve blogs.
