+Garage implements the Amazon S3 protocol, which makes it compatible with many existing software programs.
+
+In particular, you will find here instructions to connect it with:
+
+ - [web applications](@/documentation/connect/apps/index.md)
+ - [website hosting](@/documentation/connect/websites.md)
+ - [software repositories](@/documentation/connect/repositories.md)
+ - [CLI tools](@/documentation/connect/cli.md)
+ - [your own code](@/documentation/connect/code.md)
+
+### Generic instructions
+
+To configure S3-compatible software to interact with Garage,
+you will need the following parameters:
+
+- An **API endpoint**: this corresponds to the HTTP or HTTPS address
+ used to contact the Garage server. When runing Garage locally this will usually
+ be `http://127.0.0.1:3900`. In a real-world setting, you would usually have a reverse-proxy
+ that adds TLS support and makes your Garage server available under a public hostname
+ such as `https://garage.example.com`.
+
+- An **API access key** and its associated **secret key**. These usually look something
+ like this: `GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558` (access key),
+ `7d37d093435a41f2aab8f13c19ba067d9776c90215f56614adad6ece597dbb34` (secret key).
+ These keys are created and managed using the `garage` CLI, as explained in the
+ [quick start](@/documentation/quick-start/_index.md) guide.
+
+Most S3 clients can be configured easily with these parameters,
+provided that you follow the following guidelines:
+
+- **Force path style:** Garage does not support DNS-style buckets, which are now by default
+ on Amazon S3. Instead, Garage uses the legacy path-style bucket addressing.
+ Remember to configure your client to acknowledge this fact.
+
+- **Configuring the S3 region:** Garage requires your client to talk to the correct "S3 region",
+ which is set in the configuration file. This is often set just to `garage`.
+ If this is not configured explicitly, clients usually try to talk to region `us-east-1`.
+ Garage should normally redirect your client to the correct region,
+ but in case your client does not support this you might have to configure it manually.
