This cookbook will guide you from your first steps
to a real deployment of Aerogramme.

## Single-node, minimal deployment

A minimal deployment will allow you to deploy Aerogramme on a single-server
in a way that it works for a small production deployment. 
However, as Aerogramme is a distributed-first server,
you will not benefit from all of its nice properties, and many manual
work will be required.
