Getting Started - Initial Setup
|

===============================

|

A self-hosting experience with StartOS begins with setting up your server for the first time or by wiping an existing server to completely start over. For both of these options, choose `Start Fresh`. To transfer existing server data to a new machine or a new disk, or to perform a disaster recovery from backups, choose `Recovery Options`.

|
||||
|
||||
#. Flash your device with a fresh install of StartOS by following the :ref:`flashing guides <flashing>`, making sure to select `Factory Reset` when booting from external media.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: On a Raspberry Pi you will simply flash the microSD card and reinsert it, connect to power and skip to step 3.
