+## Purpose
+After many years of Material for MKDocs being updated with new features and security updates, it finally reached EOL around the end of 2025.  The project maintainers started pivoting to a new successor called [Zensical](https://zensical.org/docs/get-started/).  This document outlines my particular process for setting up a standalone documentation server within a virtual machine.
+
+!!! info "Assumptions"
+    It is assumed that you are deploying this server into `Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS (Minimal)`.  It is also assumed that you are running 
+
+### Setup Python Environment
+The first thing we need to do is install the necessary python packages and install the zensical software stack inside of it.
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
+sudo apt install -y nano python3 python3.12-venv
+mkdir -p /srv/zensical
+cd /srv/zensical
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install zensical
+zensical new .
+```
+
+### Configure Zensical Settings
+Now we want to set some sensible defaults for Zensical to style it to look as close to Material for MKDocs as possible.
+
+```sh
+
+```
+
+### Launch Zensical Server
+At this point, you can simply launch the server via the hotload-friendly `serve` mode.  I have this configured to listen on `0.0.0.0` but you can set it to `localhost` or a LAN IP address like `192.168.3.8`.  You can adjust the port number if you want to.  
+
+```sh
+zensical serve -a 0.0.0.0:80
+```
+
+mkdir -p /srv/zensical/server
