+This section guides you through setting up a server with Debian Bullseye and Docker If you already have an environment with Linux and Docker installed, you can continue to [Installing Frigate](#installing-frigate) below.
 
-# Installing Frigate
+### Install Debian 12 (Bookworm)
 
-## Setup directories
+There are many guides on how to install Debian Server, so this will be an abbreviated guide.
 
-1. Config
-1. Storage
+1. Download the small installation image from the [Debian website](https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst)
+1. Flash the ISO to a USB device
+1. Boot your device from USB
+1. Install the minimum
+   1. SSH server
+1. Login as root to add user to sudoers
+1. Log back into the server with your non-root user
+1. Setup automatic security updates for the OS
 
-## Create Minimal Config
+### Install Docker
 
-1. Basic Frigate config
-1. Docker compose file
-1. Start Frigate
+1. Install Docker Engine (not Docker Desktop) using the [official docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/)
+   1. Specifically, follow the steps in the [Install using the apt repository](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-repository) section
+2. Add your user to the docker group as described in the [Linux postinstall steps](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/)
 
-# Configuring Frigate
+## Installing Frigate
 
-This guide walks through the steps to build a configuration file for Frigate. It assumes that you already have an environment setup as described in [Installation](../frigate/installation.md). You should also configure your cameras according to the [camera setup guide](/frigate/camera_setup). Pay particular attention to the section on choosing a detect resolution.
+### Setup directories
+
+Frigate requires a valid config file to start. The following directory structure is the bare minimum to get started. Once Frigate is running, you can use the built-in config editor with validation.
+
+```
+.
+├── docker-compose.yml
+├── config/
+│   └── config.yml
+└── storage/
+```
+
+:::note
+
+This `docker-compose.yml` file is just a starter for amd64 devices. You will need to customize it for your setup as detailed in the [Installation docs](/frigate/installation#docker).
+
+:::
+`docker-compose.yml`
+
+```yaml
+version: "3.9"
+services:
+  frigate:
+    container_name: frigate
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
+    volumes:
+      - ./config:/config
+      - ./storage:/media/frigate
+      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
+        target: /tmp/cache
+        tmpfs:
+          size: 1000000000
+    ports:
+      - "5000:5000"
+      - "8554:8554" # RTSP feeds
+```
+
+`config.yml`
+
+```yaml
+mqtt:
+  enabled: False
+
+cameras:
+  dummy_camera: # <--- this will be changed to your actual camera later
+    enabled: False
+    ffmpeg:
+      inputs:
+        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/rtsp
+          roles:
+            - detect
+```
+
+Now you should be able to start Frigate by running `docker compose up -d` from within the folder containing `docker-compose.yml`. Frigate should now be accessible at `server_ip:5000` and you can finish the configuration using the built-in configuration editor.
