+Xubuntu Setup
+=============
+
+This is a guide to setup a production environment in
+Xubuntu (24.04 LTS as of this writing).
+
+Machine Setup
+-------------
+
+First, [install
+Xubuntu](https://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu/releases/24.04/release/xubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso)
+and when prompted during installation, select "minimal installation".
+
+After first boot, open a terminal and run the following commands:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install openssh-server ifconfig -y
+```
+
+### Connect with `ssh`
+
+From another machine, connect to the `ssh` server with `ssh
+HOSTNAME`. Depending on your network or devices this may not work.
+If not, determine the IP address of the machine with `ifconfig` and
+connect to it with `ssh IP_ADDRESS`.
+
+### Continue Setup Remotely
+
+Install the OS-level dependencies and optionally replace the
+crappy gimped `vim-tiny` with the proper package:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny
+sudo apt-get install vim build-essential git curl libsqlite3-dev \
+  zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev libtiff5-dev \
+  libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev \
+  libsdl2-mixer-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base \
+  gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad \
+  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libgstreamer1.0-dev \
+  libxine2-ffmpeg libsmpeg-dev libswscale-dev \
+  libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev \
+  libx11-dev libmtdev-dev build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev \
+  libgles2-mesa-dev pulseaudio lsb-release \
+  libgl1-mesa-dri libavfilter-dev libavdevice-dev -y
+```
+
+The `python` provided by 24.04 is higher than the currently most
+stable version of `mpf` (0.57.x as of this writing), so we install
+`pyenv` and `python 3.10`:
+
+```sh
+curl https://pyenv.run | bash
+echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+echo '[[ -d $PYENV_ROOT/bin ]] && export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+source ~/.bash_profile
+pyenv install 3.10
+pyenv global 3.10
+pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel build coveralls pillow
+pip install --upgrade Cython==0.29.36
+pip install mpf==0.57.0
+pip install mpf-mc==0.57.0
+pip install mpf-monitor==0.57.0
+```
+
+### Optional: Install `foreman` for Development
+
+To develop on the machine, installing `foreman` allows running
+all the services with a single command. Note that this is not
+necessary for production:
+
+```sh
+gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com \
+    --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
+\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
+source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
+rvm pkg install openssl
+rvm install 3.2.1 -C --with-openssl-dir=/usr/share/rvm/usr
+rvm use 3.2.1 --default
+gem install foreman
+```
