+##Build a Server
+For this post, I'm using a fresh install of CentOS 7 provisioned locally using Vagrant.
+
+To do this, you need to have Vagrant installed and a provider, such as VirtualBox.
+
+Here is a sample Vagrantfile you can use:
+{% highlight ruby %}
+# -*- mode: ruby -*-
+# vi: set ft=ruby :
+
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.box = "centos/7"
+
+  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
+    yum install -y net-tools lsof wget
+  SHELL
+
+  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
+    vb.gui = false
+    vb.memory = "512"
+    vb.cpus = "1"
+  end
+
+  config.vm.define "pulp-master-01" do |pm1|
+    pm1.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.0.0.2", netmask: "255.255.255.0"
+    pm1.vm.hostname = "pulp-master-01"
+    pm1.vm.box = "centos/7"
+  end
+end
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+###Provision
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ vagrant up
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Login
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ vagrant ssh pulp-master-01
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Housekeeping
+First, let's update our server...
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ sudo bash -c "yum update -y && reboot"
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Log back in
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ vagrant ssh pulp-master-01
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Install and Configure Pulp
+From here, I'll assume you've sudo'd to root.
+
+#### Install Packages
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ yum install epel-release
+$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
+$ wget https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/rhel-pulp.repo
+$ yum install -y mongodb-server \
+qpid-cpp-server qpid-cpp-server-linearstore \
+pulp-server python-gofer-qpid python2-qpid qpid-tools \
+pulp-rpm-plugins pulp-puppet-plugins pulp-docker-plugins \
+pulp-admin-client pulp-rpm-admin-extensions pulp-puppet-admin-extensions pulp-docker-admin-extensions
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Generate keys/certs
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ pulp-gen-key-pair
+$ pulp-gen-ca-certificate
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Configure DB
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Start Services
+{% highlight bash %}
+for service in mongod qpidd httpd pulp_workers pulp_celerybeat pulp_resource_manager; do
+  systemctl start $service
+  systemctl enable $service
+done
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Admin Client
+#### Configure Pulp Admin Client
+Make the `[server]` section look more like this:
+{% highlight %}
+[server]
+host: pulp-master-01
+port: 443
+api_prefix: /pulp/api
+verify_ssl: False
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Auth the Admin Client
+Note: The default password is admin, you should change this!
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ pulp-admin login -u admin
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Repos
+#### Create rpm repos
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id centos-7-base-os --display-name "CentOS 7 Base OS" --description "Packages for CentOS Base OS" --feed http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64 --serve-http true --serve-https true
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id centos-7-base-updates --display-name "CentOS 7 Base Updates" --description "Updated Packages for CentOS Base OS" --feed http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updates/x86_64 --serve-http true --serve-https true
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Sync rpm repos
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id centos-7-base-os
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id centos-7-base-updates
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+#### Publish
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id centos-7-base-os
+$ pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id centos-7-base-updates
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Validate
+Time to validate your work.
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+$ curl http://localhost/pulp/repos
+{% endhighlight %}
