+# Getting Started
+
+!!! abstract "Abstract"
+
+ In this short getting started guide we show the dependencies to run the database repository and perform a small,
+ local, test deployment for quickly trying out the features that the repository offers.
+
+!!! danger "Production"
+
+ Do not use this small, local, test deployment with production data. It is not secure for production.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Hardware
+
+For this small, local, test deployment any modern hardware would suffice, we recommend a machine with at least:
+
+- 8 Cores (can be virtual cores)
+- 16GB RAM
+- 100GB SSD memory
+- Fast internet connection
+
+### Software
+
+We currently only test RPM-based operating systems. Other systems in theory should also work, but no warranty whatsoever
+is given that there might be some compatibility issues in the future.
+
+1. [Rocky Linux](https://rockylinux.org/) 8.4+
+
+On the local machine, we need installed:
+
+1. [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/) 18.02.0+
+2. [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+
+And the following minimal software packages to operate the repository:
+
+```console
+dnf install make
+```
+
+## Repository
+
+Next, clone the source code repository into your working directory:
+
+```console
+git clone https://github.com/fair-data-austria/dbrepo.git
+```
+
+Start building the metadata database container and the remaining containers (in fast, parallel mode utilizing all cores
+of your local machine):
+
+```console
+docker-compose build fda-metadata-database
+docker-compose build --parallel
+```
+
+The system is auto-configured for a small, local, test deployment. You only need to start all containers by executing:
+
+```console
+docker-compose up
+```

+
+We use Docker for deployment. The containers are packing all runtime dependencies, when starting them all necessary
+files are already present. For running the infrastructure we use Docker Compose.
