Our main use case is to provide a distributed storage layer for small-scale self hosted services such as [Deuxfleurs](https://deuxfleurs.fr).
-Check our [compatibility page](doc/Compatibility.md) to view details of the S3 API compatibility.
-
-## Development
-
-We propose the following quickstart to setup a full dev. environment as quickly as possible:
-
- 1. Setup a rust/cargo environment. eg. `dnf install rust cargo`
- 2. Install awscli v2 by following the guide [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html).
- 3. Run `cargo build` to build the project
- 4. Run `./script/dev-cluster.sh` to launch a test cluster (feel free to read the script)
- 5. Run `./script/dev-configure.sh` to configure your test cluster with default values (same datacenter, 100 tokens)
- 6. Run `./script/dev-bucket.sh` to create a bucket named `eprouvette` and an API key that will be stored in `/tmp/garage.s3`
- 7. Run `source ./script/dev-env-aws.sh` to configure your CLI environment
- 8. You can use `garage` to manage the cluster. Try `garage --help`.
- 9. You can use the `awsgrg` alias to add, remove, and delete files. Try `awsgrg help`, `awsgrg cp /proc/cpuinfo s3://eprouvette/cpuinfo.txt`, or `awsgrg ls s3://eprouvette`. `awsgrg` is a wrapper on the `aws s3` command pre-configured with the previously generated API key (the one in `/tmp/garage.s3`) and localhost as the endpoint.
-
-Now you should be ready to start hacking on garage!
-
-## S3 compatibility
-
-Only a subset of S3 is supported: adding, listing, getting and deleting files in a bucket.
-Bucket management, ACL and other advanced features are not (yet?) handled through the S3 API but through the `garage` CLI.
-We primarily test `garage` against the `awscli` tool and `nextcloud`.
-
-## Setting up Garage
-
-Use the `genkeys.sh` script to generate TLS keys for encrypting communications between Garage nodes.
-The script takes no arguments and will generate keys in `pki/`.
-This script creates a certificate authority `garage-ca` which signs certificates for individual Garage nodes.
-Garage nodes from a same cluster authenticate themselves by verifying that they have certificates signed by the same certificate authority.
-
-Garage requires two locations to store its data: a metadata directory, and a data directory.
-The metadata directory is used to store metadata such as object lists, and should ideally be located on an SSD drive.
-The data directory is used to store the chunks of data of the objects stored in Garage.
-In a typical deployment the data directory is stored on a standard HDD.
-
-Garage does not handle TLS for its S3 API endpoint. This should be handled by adding a reverse proxy.
-
-Create a configuration file with the following structure:
-
-```
-block_size = 1048576 # objects are split in blocks of maximum this number of bytes
-
-metadata_dir = "/path/to/ssd/metadata/directory"
-data_dir = "/path/to/hdd/data/directory"
-
-rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901" # the port other Garage nodes will use to talk to this node
-
-bootstrap_peers = [
- # Ideally this list should contain the IP addresses of all other Garage nodes of the cluster.
- # Use Ansible or any kind of configuration templating to generate this automatically.
- "10.0.0.1:3901",
- "10.0.0.2:3901",
- "10.0.0.3:3901",
-]
-
-# optionnal: garage can find cluster nodes automatically using a Consul server
-# garage only does lookup but does not register itself, registration should be handled externally by e.g. Nomad
-consul_host = "localhost:8500" # optionnal: host name of a Consul server for automatic peer discovery
-consul_service_name = "garage" # optionnal: service name to look up on Consul
-
-max_concurrent_rpc_requests = 12
-data_replication_factor = 3
-meta_replication_factor = 3
-meta_epidemic_fanout = 3
-
-[rpc_tls]
-# NOT RECOMMENDED: you can skip this section if you don't want to encrypt intra-cluster traffic
-# Thanks to genkeys.sh, generating the keys and certificates is easy, so there is NO REASON NOT TO DO IT.
-ca_cert = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage-ca.crt"
-node_cert = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage.crt"
-node_key = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage.key"
-
-[s3_api]
-api_bind_addr = "[::1]:3900" # the S3 API port, HTTP without TLS. Add a reverse proxy for the TLS part.
-s3_region = "garage" # set this to anything. S3 API calls will fail if they are not made against the region set here.
-
-[s3_web]
-bind_addr = "[::1]:3902"
-root_domain = ".garage.tld"
-index = "index.html"
-```
-
-Build Garage using `cargo build --release`.
-Then, run it using either `./target/release/garage server -c path/to/config_file.toml` or `cargo run --release -- server -c path/to/config_file.toml`.
-
-Set the `RUST_LOG` environment to `garage=debug` to dump some debug information.
-Set it to `garage=trace` to dump even more debug information.
-Set it to `garage=warn` to show nothing except warnings and errors.
-
-## Setting up cluster nodes
-
-Once all your `garage` nodes are running, you will need to:
-
-1. check that they are correctly talking to one another;
-2. configure them with their physical location (in the case of a multi-dc deployment) and a number of "ring tokens" proportionnal to the storage space available on each node;
-3. create some S3 API keys and buckets;
-4. ???;
-5. profit!
-
-To run these administrative tasks, you will need to use the `garage` command line tool and it to connect to any of the cluster's nodes on the RPC port.
-The `garage` CLI also needs TLS keys and certificates of its own to authenticate and be authenticated in the cluster.
-A typicall invocation will be as follows:
-
-```
-./target/release/garage --ca-cert=pki/garage-ca.crt --client-cert=pki/garage-client.crt --client-key=pki/garage-client.key <...>
-```

-## Notes to self
-
-### What to repair
-
-- `tables`: to do a full sync of metadata, should not be necessary because it is done every hour by the system
-- `versions` and `block_refs`: very time consuming, usefull if deletions have not been propagated, improves garbage collection
-- `blocks`: very usefull to resync/rebalance blocks betweeen nodes
