+Service Packaging Guide
+***********************
+
+Welcome! If you are here, you are interested in becoming part of the mission to change the future of personal computing. This guide will take you through the process of packaging a service for EmbassyOS, a novel, self-hosted, sovereign computing platform.
+
+A service in this context is any open source project that has been bundled into the appropriate format to run on EmbassyOS. By configuring and packaging a project according to this guide, it can be installed on EmbassyOS with no command line or technical expertise required. This opens up an entire platform for self-hosted software to run independent of third parties in a completely private and sovereign way for all individuals. 
+
+This guide is technical, but breaks down the steps for deployment. If you have any feedback or questions concerning this guide, please don't hesitate to `reach out <https://matrix.to/#/#community-dev:matrix.start9labs.com>`_ or submit a pull request with alterations.
+
+To start, you will need to acquire EmbassyOS for testing the packaged service. This can be done by:
+
+- building from `source <https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment>`_
+- following the :ref:`DIY <diy>` guide
+- :ref:`purchasing <purchasing>` the ready to run personal server
+
+While you are waiting to receive or assemble a device, you can begin the process of packaging a project. The sections below outline these steps in detail.
+
+Happy building!
