-# Setup your development environment
-
-Depending on your tastes, you can bootstrap your development environment in a traditional Rust way or through Nix.
-
-## The Nix way
-
-Nix is a generic package manager we use to precisely define our development environment.
-Instructions on how to install it are given on their [Download page](https://nixos.org/download.html).
-
-Check that your installation is working by running the following commands:
-
-```
-nix-shell --version
-nix-build --version
-nix-env --version
-```
-
-Now, you can clone our git repository (run `nix-env -iA git` if you do not have git yet):
-
-```bash
-git clone https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage
-cd garage
-```
-
-*Optionnaly, you can use our nix.conf file to speed up compilations:*
-
-```bash
-sudo mkdir -p /etc/nix
-sudo cp nix/nix.conf /etc/nix/nix.conf
-sudo killall nix-daemon
-```
-
-Now you can enter our nix-shell, all the required packages will be downloaded but they will not pollute your environment outside of the shell:
-
-```bash
-nix-shell
-```
-
-You can use the traditionnal Rust development workflow:
-
-```bash
-cargo build # compile the project
-cargo run # execute the project
-cargo test # run the tests
-cargo fmt # format the project, run it before any commit!
-cargo clippy # run the linter, run it before any commit!
-```
-
-You can build the project with Nix by running:
-
-```bash
-nix-build
-```
-
-You can parallelize the build (if you use our nix.conf file, it is already automatically done).
-To use all your cores when building a derivation use `-j`, and to build multiple derivations at once use `--max-jobs`.
-The special value `auto` will be replaced by the number of cores of your computer.
-An example:
-
-```bash
-nix-build -j $(nproc) --max-jobs auto
-```
-
-Our build has multiple parameters you might want to set:
- - `release` build with release optimisations instead of debug
- - `target allows` for cross compilation
- - `compileMode` can be set to test or bench to build a unit test runner
- - `git_version` to inject the hash to display when running `garage stats`
-
-An example:
-
-```bash
-nix-build \
- --arg release true \
- --argstr target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl \
- --argstr compileMode build \
- --git_version $(git rev-parse HEAD)
-```
-
-*The result is located in `result/bin`. You can pass arguments to cross compile: check `.drone.yml` for examples.*
-
-If you modify a `Cargo.toml` or regenerate any `Cargo.lock`, you must run `cargo2nix`:
-
-```
-cargo2nix -f
-```
-
-Many tools like rclone, `mc` (minio-client), or `aws` (awscliv2) will be available in your environment and will be useful to test Garage.
-
-**This is the recommended method.**
-
-## The Rust way
-
-You need a Rust distribution installed on your computer.
-The most simple way is to install it from [rustup](https://rustup.rs).
-Please avoid using your package manager to install Rust as some tools might be outdated or missing.
-
-Now, check your Rust distribution works by running the following commands:
-
-```bash
-rustc --version
-cargo --version
-rustfmt --version
-clippy-driver --version
-```
-
-Now, you need to clone our git repository ([how to install git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)):
-
-```bash
-git clone https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage
-cd garage
-```
-
-You can now use the following commands:
-
-```bash
-cargo build # compile the project
-cargo run # execute the project
-cargo test # run the tests
-cargo fmt # format the project, run it before any commit!
-cargo clippy # run the linter, run it before any commit!
-```
-
-This is specific to our project, but you will need one last tool, `cargo2nix`.
-To install it, run:
-
-```bash
-cargo install --git https://github.com/superboum/cargo2nix --branch main cargo2nix
-```
-
-You must use it every time you modify a `Cargo.toml` or regenerate a `Cargo.lock` file as follow:
-
-```bash
-cargo build # Rebuild Cargo.lock if needed
-cargo2nix -f
-```
-
-It will output a `Cargo.nix` file which is a specific `Cargo.lock` file dedicated to Nix that is required by our CI
-which means you must include it in your commits.
-
-Later, to use our scripts and integration tests, you might need additional tools.
-These tools are listed at the end of the `shell.nix` package in the `nativeBuildInputs` part.
-It is up to you to find a way to install the ones you need on your computer.
-
-**A global drawback of this method is that it is up to you to adapt your environment to the one defined in the Nix files.**

-# Miscellaneous Notes
-
-## Quirks about cargo2nix/rust in Nix
-
-If you use submodules in your crate (like `crdt` and `replication` in `garage_table`), you must list them in `default.nix`
-
-The Windows target does not work. it might be solvable through [overrides](https://github.com/cargo2nix/cargo2nix/blob/master/overlay/overrides.nix). Indeed, we pass `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` but mingw need `x86_64-w64-mingw32`
-
-We have a simple [PR on cargo2nix](https://github.com/cargo2nix/cargo2nix/pull/201) that fixes critical bugs but the project does not seem very active currently. We must use [my patched version of cargo2nix](https://github.com/superboum/cargo2nix) to enable i686 and armv6l compilation. We might need to contribute to cargo2nix in the future.
-
-
-## Nix
-
-Nix has no armv7 + musl toolchains but armv7l is backward compatible with armv6l.
-
-```bash
-cat > $HOME/.awsrc <<EOF
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="xxx"
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="xxx"
-EOF
-
-# source each time you want to send on the cache
-source ~/.awsrc
-
-# copy garage build dependencies (and not only the output)
-nix-build
-nix-store -qR --include-outputs $(nix-instantiate default.nix)
- | xargs nix copy --to 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage'
-
-# copy shell dependencies
-nix-build shell.nix -A inputDerivation
-nix copy $(nix-store -qR result/) --to 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage'
-```
-
-More example of nix-copy
-
-```
-# nix-build produces a result/ symlink
-nix copy result/ --to 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage'
-
-# alternative ways to use nix copy
-nix copy nixpkgs.garage --to ...
-nix copy /nix/store/3rbb9qsc2w6xl5xccz5ncfhy33nzv3dp-crate-garage-0.3.0 --to ...
-```
-
-
-Clear the cache:
-
-```bash
-mc rm --recursive --force garage/nix/
-```
-
----
-
-A desirable `nix.conf` for a consumer:
-
-```toml
-substituters = https://cache.nixos.org https://nix.web.deuxfleurs.fr
-trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= nix.web.deuxfleurs.fr:eTGL6kvaQn6cDR/F9lDYUIP9nCVR/kkshYfLDJf1yKs=
-```
-
-And now, whenever you run a command like:
-
-```
-nix-shell
-nix-build
-```
-
-Our cache will be checked.

-## Drone
-
-Do not try to set a build as trusted from the interface or the CLI tool,
-your request would be ignored. Instead, directly edit the database (table `repos`, column `repo_trusted`).
-
-Drone can do parallelism both at the step and the pipeline level. At the step level, parallelism is restricted to the same runner.
-
-## Building Docker containers
-
-We were:
- - Unable to use the official Docker plugin because
- - it requires to mount docker socket in the container but it is not recommended
- - you cant set the platform when building
- - Unable to use buildah because it needs `CLONE_USERNS` capability
- - Unable to use the kaniko plugin for Drone as we can't set the target platform
- - Unable to use the kaniko container provided by Google as we can't run arbitrary logic: we need to put our secret in .docker/config.json.
-
-Finally we chose to build kaniko through nix and use it in a `nix-shell`.

-# Release process
-
-Before releasing a new version of Garage, our code pass through a succession of checks and transformations.
-We define them as our release process.
-
-## Trigger and classify a release
-
-While we run some tests on every commits, we do not make a release for all of them.
-
-A release can be triggered manually by "promoting" a successful build.
-Otherwise, every weeks, a release build is triggered on the `main` branch.
-
-If the build is from a tag following the regex: `v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+`, it will be listed as stable.
-If it is a tag but with a different format, it will be listed as Extra.
-Otherwise, if it is a commit, it will be listed as development.
-This logic is defined in `nix/build_index.nix`.
-
-## Testing
-
-For each commit, we first pass the code to a formatter (rustfmt) and a linter (clippy).
-Then we try to build it in debug mode and run both unit tests and our integration tests.
-
-Additionnaly, when releasing, our integration tests are run on the release build for amd64 and i686.
-
-## Generated Artifacts
-
-We generate the following binary artifacts for now:
- - **architecture**: amd64, i686, aarch64, armv6
- - **os**: linux
- - **format**: static binary, docker container
-
-Additionnaly we also build two web pages:
- - the documentation (this website)
- - [the release page](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/releases.html)
-
-We publish the static binaries on our own garage cluster (you can access them through the releases page)
-and the docker containers on Docker Hub.
-
-## Automation
-
-We automated our release process with Nix and Drone to make it more reliable.
-Here we describe how we have done in case you want to debug or improve it.
-
-### Caching build steps
-
-To speed up the CI, we use the caching feature provided by Nix.
-
-You can benefit from it by using our provided `nix.conf` as recommended or by simply adding the following lines to your file:
-
-```toml
-substituters = https://cache.nixos.org https://nix.web.deuxfleurs.fr
-trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= nix.web.deuxfleurs.fr:eTGL6kvaQn6cDR/F9lDYUIP9nCVR/kkshYfLDJf1yKs=
-```
-
-Sending to the cache is done through `nix copy`, for example:
-
-```bash
-nix copy --to 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage&secret-key=/etc/nix/signing-key.sec' result
-```
-
-*Note that you need the signing key. In our case, it is stored as a secret in Drone.*
-
-The previous command will only send the built packet and not its dependencies.
-To send its dependency, a tool named `nix-copy-closure` has been created but it is not compatible with the S3 protocol.
-
-Instead, you can use the following commands to list all the runtime dependencies:
-
-```bash
-nix copy \
- --to 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage&secret-key=/etc/nix/signing-key.sec' \
- $(nix-store -qR result/)
-```
-
-*We could also write this expression with xargs but this tool is not available in our container.*
-
-But in certain cases, we want to cache compile time dependencies also.
-For example, the Nix project does not provide binaries for cross compiling to i686 and thus we need to compile gcc on our own.
-We do not want to compile gcc each time, so even if it is a compile time dependency, we want to cache it.
-
-This time, the command is a bit more involved:
-
-```bash
-nix copy --to \
- 's3://nix?endpoint=garage.deuxfleurs.fr&region=garage&secret-key=/etc/nix/signing-key.sec' \
- $(nix-store -qR --include-outputs \
- $(nix-instantiate))
-```
-
-This is the command we use in our CI as we expect the final binary to change, so we mainly focus on
-caching our development dependencies.
-
-*Currently there is no automatic garbage collection of the cache: we should monitor its growth.
-Hopefully, we can erase it totally without breaking any build, the next build will only be slower.*
-
-In practise, we concluded that we do not want to cache all the compilation dependencies.
-Instead, we want to cache the toolchain we use to build Garage each time we change it.
-So we removed from Drone any automatic update of the cache and instead handle them manually with:
-
-```
-source ~/.awsrc
-nix-shell --run 'refresh_toolchain'
-```
-
-Internally, it will run `nix-build` on `nix/toolchain.nix` and send the output plus its depedencies to the cache.
-
-To erase the cache:
-
-```
-mc rm --recursive --force 'garage/nix/'
-```
-
-### Publishing Garage
-
-We defined our publishing logic in Nix, mostly as shell hooks.
-You can inspect them in `shell.nix` to see exactly how.
-Here, we will give a quick explanation on how to use them to manually publish a release.
-
-Supposing you just have built garage as follow:
-
-```bash
-nix-build --arg release true
-```
-
-To publish a static binary in `result/bin` on garagehq, run:
-
-```bash
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
-export DRONE_TAG=handcrafted-1.0.0 # or DRONE_COMMIT
-export TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
-
-nix-shell --run to_s3
-```
-
-To create and publish a docker container, run:
-
-```bash
-export DOCKER_AUTH='{ "auths": { "https://index.docker.io/v1/": { "auth": "xxxx" }}}'
-export DOCKER_PLATFORM='linux/amd64' # check GOARCH and GOOS from golang.org
-export CONTAINER_NAME='me/amd64_garage'
-export CONTAINER_TAG='handcrafted-1.0.0'
-
-nix-shell --run to_docker
-```
-
-To rebuild the release page, run:
-```bash
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
-export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
-
-nix-shell --run refresh_index
-```
-
-If you want to compile for different architectures, you will need to repeat all these commands for each architecture.
-
-**In practise, and except for debugging, you will never directly run these commands. Release is handled by drone**
-
-### Drone
-
-Our instance is available at [https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr](https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr).
-You need an account on [https://git.deuxfleurs.fr](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr) to use it.
-
-**Drone CLI** - Drone has a CLI tool to interact with.
-It can be downloaded from its Github [release page](https://github.com/drone/drone-cli/releases).
-
-To communicate with our instance, you must setup some environment variables.
-You can get them from your [Account Settings](https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr/account).
-
-To make drone easier to use, you could create a `~/.dronerc` that you could source each time you want to use it.
-
-```
-export DRONE_SERVER=https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr
-export DRONE_TOKEN=xxx
-drone info
-```
-
-The CLI tool is very self-discoverable, just append `--help` to each subcommands.
-Start with:
-
-```bash
-drone --help
-```
-
-**.drone.yml** - The builds steps are defined in `.drone.yml`.
-You can not edit this file without resigning it.
-
-To sign it, you must be a maintainer and then run:
-
-```bash
-drone sign --save Deuxfleurs/garage
-```
-
-Looking at the file, you will see that most of the commands are `nix-shell` and `nix-build` commands with various parameters.

-# Development scripts
-
-We maintain a `script/` folder that contains some useful script to ease testing on Garage.
-
-A fully integrated script, `test-smoke.sh`, runs some basic tests on various tools such as minio client, awscli and rclone.
-To run it, enter a `nix-shell` (or install all required tools) and simply run:
-
-```bash
-nix-build # or cargo build
-./script/test-smoke.sh
-```
-
-If something fails, you can find useful logs in `/tmp/garage.log`.
-You can inspect the generated configuration and local data created by inspecting your `/tmp` directory:
-the script creates files and folder prefixed with the name "garage".
-
-## Bootstrapping a test cluster
-
-Under the hood `test-smoke.sh` uses multiple helpers scripts you can also run in case you want to manually test Garage.
-In this section, we introduce 3 scripts to quickly bootstrap a full test cluster with 3 instances.
-
-### 1. Start each daemon
-
-```bash
-./script/dev-cluster.sh
-```
-
-This script spawns 3 Garage instances with 3 configuration files.
-You can inspect the detailed configuration, including ports, by inspecting `/tmp/config.1` (change 1 by the instance number you want).
-
-This script also spawns a simple HTTPS reverse proxy through `socat` for the S3 endpoint that listens on port `4443`.
-Some libraries might require a TLS endpoint to work, refer to our issue [#64](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/64) for more detailed information on this subject.
-
-This script covers the [Launching the garage server](/quick_start/index.html#launching-the-garage-server) section of our Quick start page.
-
-### 2. Make them join the cluster
-
-```bash
-./script/dev-configure.sh
-```
-
-This script will configure each instance by assigning them a zone (`dc1`) and a weight (`1`).
-
-This script covers the [Configuring your Garage node](/quick_start/index.html#configuring-your-garage-node) section of our Quick start page.
-
-### 3. Create a key and a bucket
-
-```bash
-./script/dev-bucket.sh
-```
-
-This script will create a bucket named `eprouvette` with a key having read and write rights on this bucket.
-The key is stored in a filed named `/tmp/garage.s3` and can be used by the following tools to pre-configure them.
-
-This script covers the [Creating buckets and keys](/quick_start/index.html#creating-buckets-and-keys) section of our Quick start page.
-
-## Handlers for generic tools
-
-We provide wrappers for some CLI tools that configure themselves for your development cluster.
-They are meant to save you some configuration time as to use them, you are only required to source the right file.
-
-### awscli
-
-```bash
-source ./script/dev-env-aws.sh
-
-# some examples
-aws s3 ls s3://eprouvette
-aws s3 cp /proc/cpuinfo s3://eprouvette/cpuinfo.txt
-```
-

-
-
-```bash
-source ./script/dev-env-mc.sh
-
-# some examples
-mc ls garage/
-mc cp /proc/cpuinfo garage/eprouvette/cpuinfo.txt
-```
-
-### rclone
-
-```bash
-source ./script/dev-env-rclone.sh
-
-# some examples
-rclone lsd garage:
-rclone copy /proc/cpuinfo garage:eprouvette/cpuinfo.txt
