+## Overview
+
+This guide details how to install F5 NGINX Gateway Fabric on Red Hat OpenShift through OperatorHub. You can then configure it with the `NginxGatewayFabric` custom resource.
+
+## Before you begin
+
+Before starting, we recommend you have the following:
+
+- A running Red Hat OpenShift cluster with cluster administrator privileges.
+- Ability to pull images from `ghcr.io` (or a mirrored registry if required by your environment).
+
+- Optional integrations
+  - F5 NGINX One dataplane API key if you plan to integrate with [F5 NGINX One Console](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-one/).
+  - F5 NGINX Plus entitlements if you plan to run NGINX Gateway Fabric with F5 NGINX Plus.
+
+NGINX Gateway Fabric provides first-class OpenShift support with Universal Base Image (UBI)-based images. Use the `-ubi` tags shown in the custom resource definition (CRD) examples. Defaults are compatible with OpenShift Security Context Constraints (SCCs) for non-root operation. If your cluster enforces custom SCCs or policies, bind the appropriate SCC to NGINX Gateway Fabric service accounts.
+
+This section covers the necessary steps to have NGINX Gateway Fabric fully running in an OpenShift environment when installing through the OperatorHub
+
+## Install NGINX Gateway Fabric Operator from OperatorHub
+
+  1. Navigate to the Red Hat Catalog: https://catalog.redhat.com/en  
+  1. Search for "NGINX Gateway Fabric Operator" in the searchbar at the top
+  1. Select NGINX Gateway Fabric Operator
+  1. Select **Deploy & use**. 
+  1. Choose the appropriate architecture and release tag
+  1. Complete the installation. Wait until the Operator status shows Installed
+
+## Create a project
+
+In your cluster, create a dedicated project (namespace) for NGINX Gateway Fabric components.
+
+```shell
+oc new-project nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+## Create TLS secrets for internal communication (optional)
+
+If you want NGINX Gateway Fabric to auto-generate internal certificates, skip this step. To provide your own TLS secrets, create the following:
+
+Agent TLS (used by internal agent)
+
+```shell
+oc create secret tls agent-tls \
+  --cert=agent.crt \
+  --key=agent.key \
+  -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+Server TLS (used by internal server)
+
+```shell
+oc create secret tls server-tls \
+  --cert=server.crt \
+  --key=server.key \
+  -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+## Integrate with NGINX One Console (optional)
+
+If you want to use NGINX One Console to monitor NGINX Gateway Fabric, create a secret for the dataplane key (replace VALUE with your key).
+
+```shell
+oc create secret generic nginxone-dataplane-key \
+  --from-literal=key=VALUE \
+  -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+Reference this secret in `spec.nginx.nginxOneConsole.dataplaneKeySecretName`.
+
+## Configure NGINX Plus licensing (optional)
+
+If you plan to use NGINX Plus, set `spec.nginx.plus: true`, add image pull credentials, and create a license secret if needed.
+
+Example license secret name referenced by `usage.secretName`
+
+```shell
+oc create secret generic nplus-license \
+  --from-file=nginx-repo.crt=/path/to/nginx-repo.crt \
+  --from-file=nginx-repo.key=/path/to/nginx-repo.key \
+  -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+## Create the NginxGatewayFabric custom resource
+
+1. Navigate to the "Installed Operators" section and select the "NGINX Gateway Fabric" Operator
+1. To create a new `NginxGatewayFabric` resource, select the tab labeled "NginxGatewayFabric"
+1. Next, select "Create NginxGatewayFabric"
+1. In this menue you will see "Forum view" and "YAML view". Select "YAML view"
+1. You will now see a YAML configuration for the `NginxGatewayFabric` resource
+1. Near the bottom, press the "Create" button
+
+## Configure exposure options for OpenShift (optional)
+
+Choose one exposure option:
+
+If a LoadBalancer is available, set `spec.nginx.service.type: LoadBalancer`. Optionally set:
+
+- `externalTrafficPolicy: Local` to preserve client source IPs.
+- `loadBalancerClass`, `loadBalancerIP`, and `loadBalancerSourceRanges` per your environment.
+
+If a LoadBalancer is not available, set `spec.nginx.service.type: NodePort`, then create an OpenShift Route to the NGINX Gateway Fabric front-end Service (for HTTP/HTTPS traffic):
+
+```shell
+oc create route edge ngf \
+  --service=nginx-gateway-fabric-nginx \
+  --port=http \
+  -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+For TLS passthrough, add `--passthrough` and target the appropriate Service port.
+
+## Validate the installation
+
+Verify that deployments and services are running, and confirm the GatewayClass:
+
+```shell
+oc get pods -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+oc get svc -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+oc get gatewayclass
+```
+
+If troubleshooting is required, review logs
+
+Controller logs
+
+```shell
+oc logs deploy/ngf-nginx-gateway -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+Data plane logs
+
+```shell
+oc logs deploy/ngf-nginx -n nginx-gateway-fabric
+```
+
+## Perform a functional check (optional)
+
+Create a Gateway and HTTPRoute to validate routing:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Gateway
+metadata:
+  name: http
+  namespace: nginx-gateway-fabric
+spec:
+  gatewayClassName: nginx
+  listeners:
+    - name: http
+      port: 80
+      protocol: HTTP
+      hostname: example.com
+      allowedRoutes:
+        namespaces:
+          from: Same
+---
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: HTTPRoute
+metadata:
+  name: echo
+  namespace: nginx-gateway-fabric
+spec:
+  parentRefs:
+    - name: http
+  hostnames:
+    - example.com
+  rules:
+    - backendRefs:
+        - name: echo
+          port: 8080
+```
+
+Ensure you have a Service and Deployment named `echo` that expose port 8080. If you are using a LoadBalancer Service, send a request to the load balancer IP address. Otherwise, use an OpenShift Route as configured.
