## Getting Started

To get started with DMARQ, please see the [Getting Started](user_guide/getting_started.md) guide.

For installation instructions, check the [Docker Setup](deployment/docker.md) or [Manual Installation](deployment/manual.md) guides. Operators should use the [Operator Runbook](deployment/operations.md) for deployment modes, verification, upgrades, and rollback, and the [Troubleshooting Playbooks](deployment/troubleshooting.md) for ingestion, authentication, DNS, database, and notification failures. For production secrets, use [Secret Handling with 1Password](deployment/secrets.md). For database operations, use [Database Backup and Restore](deployment/backups.md). For upgrades, use the [Release Checklist](deployment/release-checklist.md).

For aggregate-report parser support, known edge cases, and fixture guidance, see [DMARC Aggregate Format Compatibility](reference/dmarc-compatibility.md).
