So, since @ceejbot livetweeted their setup, I'll pass on a few notes from mine.

In my case, I concur with Ceej - this isn't a trivial 'start the instance' type thing; most normal people will probably not be able to successfully complete the setup.

I say this not out of vanity but because this process is, frankly, a mess, and the documentation does not describe several gotchas that show up in the deployment process - nor does it explicate fully your prereqs.
@munin I started setting up prereqs for an instance on a new Debian 8 installation earlier today to use for dev/testing/lab instance, but now I'm considering finishing it, tearing it down, and doing it again with docs and maybe a pull request or two back into the project before I get any farther into the ops side.
