# Create buckets and keys
-First, chances are that your garage deployment is secured by TLS.
-All your commands must be prefixed with their certificates.
-I will define an alias once and for all to ease future commands.
-Please adapt the path of the binary and certificates to your installation!
+*We use a command named `garagectl` which is in fact an alias you must define as explained in the [Control the daemon](./daemon.md) section.*
-```
-alias grg="/garage/garage --ca-cert /secrets/garage-ca.crt --client-cert /secrets/garage.crt --client-key /secrets/garage.key"
-```
-
-Now we can check that everything is going well by checking our cluster status:
-
-```
-grg status
-```
+In this section, we will suppose that we want to create a bucket named `nextcloud-bucket`
+that will be accessed through a key named `nextcloud-app-key`.
Don't forget that `help` command and `--help` subcommands can help you anywhere, the CLI tool is self-documented! Two examples:
```
-grg help
-grg bucket allow --help
+garagectl help
+garagectl bucket allow --help
```
+## Create a bucket
+
Fine, now let's create a bucket (we imagine that you want to deploy nextcloud):
```
-grg bucket create nextcloud-bucket
+garagectl bucket create nextcloud-bucket
```
Check that everything went well:
```
-grg bucket list
-grg bucket info nextcloud-bucket
+garagectl bucket list
+garagectl bucket info nextcloud-bucket
```
+## Create an API key
+
Now we will generate an API key to access this bucket.
Note that API keys are independent of buckets: one key can access multiple buckets, multiple keys can access one bucket.
Now, let's start by creating a key only for our PHP application:
```
-grg key new --name nextcloud-app-key
+garagectl key new --name nextcloud-app-key
```
You will have the following output (this one is fake, `key_id` and `secret_key` were generated with the openssl CLI tool):
-```
-Key { key_id: "GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558", secret_key: "7d37d093435a41f2aab8f13c19ba067d9776c90215f56614adad6ece597dbb34", name: "nextcloud-app-key", name_timestamp: 1603280506694, deleted: false, authorized_buckets: [] }
+```javascript
+Key {
+ key_id: "GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558",
+ secret_key: "7d37d093435a41f2aab8f13c19ba067d9776c90215f56614adad6ece597dbb34",
+ name: "nextcloud-app-key",
+ name_timestamp: 1603280506694,
+ deleted: false,
+ authorized_buckets: []
+}
```
Check that everything works as intended (be careful, info works only with your key identifier and not with its friendly name!):
```
-grg key list
-grg key info GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
+garagectl key list
+garagectl key info GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
```
+## Allow a key to access a bucket
+
Now that we have a bucket and a key, we need to give permissions to the key on the bucket!
```
-grg bucket allow --read --write nextcloud-bucket --key GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
+garagectl bucket allow \
+ --read \
+ --write
+ nextcloud-bucket \
+ --key GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
```
You can check at any times allowed keys on your bucket with:
```
-grg bucket info nextcloud-bucket
+garagectl bucket info nextcloud-bucket
```

# Configure a cluster
+*We use a command named `garagectl` which is in fact an alias you must define as explained in the [Control the daemon](./daemon.md) section.*
+
+In this section, we will inform garage of the disk space available on each node of the cluster
+as well as the site (think datacenter) of each machine.
+
## Test cluster
+As this part is not relevant for a test cluster, you can use this one-liner to create a basic topology:
+
+```bash
+garagectl status | grep UNCONFIGURED | grep -Po '^[0-9a-f]+' | while read id; do
+ garagectl node configure -d dc1 -n 10 $id
+done
+```
+
## Real-world cluster
-For our example, we will suppose we have the following infrastructure:
+For our example, we will suppose we have the following infrastructure (Tokens, Identifier and Datacenter are specific values to garage described in the following):
+
+| Location | Name | Disk Space | `Tokens` | `Identifier` | `Datacenter` |
+|----------|---------|------------|----------|--------------|--------------|
+| Paris | Mercury | 1 To | `100` | `8781c5` | `par1` |
+| Paris | Venus | 2 To | `200` | `2a638e` | `par1` |
+| London | Earth | 2 To | `200` | `68143d` | `lon1` |
+| Brussels | Mars | 1.5 To | `150` | `212f75` | `bru1` |
+
+### Identifier
+
+After its first launch, garage generates a random and unique identifier for each nodes, such as:
+
+```
+8781c50c410a41b363167e9d49cc468b6b9e4449b6577b64f15a249a149bdcbc
+```
+
+Often a shorter form can be used, containing only the beginning of the identifier, like `8781c5`,
+which identifies the server "Mercury" located in "Paris" according to our previous table.
+
+The most simple way to match an identifier to a node is to run:
+
+```
+garagectl status
+```
+
+It will display the IP address associated with each node; from the IP address you will be able to recognize the node.
+
+### Tokens
+
+Garage reasons on an arbitrary metric about disk storage that is named "tokens".
+The number of tokens must be proportional to the disk space dedicated to the node.
+Additionaly, ideally the number of tokens must be in the order of magnitude of 100
+to provide a good trade-off between data load balancing and performances (*this sentence must be verified, it may be wrong*).
+
+Here we chose 1 token = 10 Go but you are free to select the value that best fit your needs.
+
+### Datacenter
+
+Datacenter are simply a user-chosen identifier that identify a group of server that are located in the same place.
+It is up to the system administrator deploying garage to identify what does "the same place" means.
+Behind the scene, garage will try to store the same data on different sites to provide high availability despite a data center failure.
+
+### Inject the topology
+
+Given the information above, we will configure our cluster as follow:
-| Location | Name | IP Address | Disk Space |
-|----------|---------|------------|------------|
-| Paris | Mercury | fc00:1::1 | 1 To |
-| Paris | Venus | fc00:1::2 | 2 To |
-| London | Earth | fc00:1::2 | 2 To |
-| Brussels | Mars | fc00:B::1 | 1.5 To |
+```
+garagectl node configure --datacenter par1 -n 100 -t mercury 8781c5
+garagectl node configure --datacenter par1 -n 200 -t venus 2a638e
+garagectl node configure --datacenter lon1 -n 200 -t earth 68143d
+garagectl node configure --datacenter bru1 -n 150 -t mars 212f75
+```

+# Control the daemon
+
+The `garage` binary has two purposes:
+ - it acts as a daemon when launched with `garage server ...`
+ - it acts as a control tool for the daemon when launched with any other command
+
+In this section, we will see how to use the `garage` binary as a control tool for the daemon we just started.
+You first need to get a shell having access to this binary, which depends of your configuration:
+ - with `docker-compose`, run `sudo docker-compose exec g1 bash` then `/garage/garage`
+ - with `docker`, run `sudo docker exec -ti garaged bash` then `/garage/garage`
+ - with `systemd`, simply run `/usr/local/bin/garage` if you followed previous instructions
+
+*You can also install the binary on your machine to remotely control the cluster.*
+
+## Talk to the daemon and create an alias
+
+`garage` requires 4 options to talk with the daemon:
+
+```
+--ca-cert <ca-cert>
+--client-cert <client-cert>
+--client-key <client-key>
+-h, --rpc-host <rpc-host>
+```
+
+The 3 first ones are certificates and keys needed by TLS, the last one is simply the address of garage's RPC endpoint.
+Because we configure garage directly from the server, we do not need to set `--rpc-host`.
+To avoid typing the 3 first options each time we want to run a command, we will create an alias.
+
+### `docker-compose` alias
+
+```bash
+alias garagectl='/garage/garage \
+ --ca-cert /pki/garage-ca.crt \
+ --client-cert /pki/garage.crt \
+ --client-key /pki/garage.key'
+```
+
+### `docker` alias
+
+```bash
+alias garagectl='/garage/garage \
+ --ca-cert /etc/garage/pki/garage-ca.crt \
+ --client-cert /etc/garage/pki/garage.crt \
+ --client-key /etc/garage/pki/garage.key'
+```
+
+
+### raw binary alias
+
+```bash
+alias garagectl='/usr/local/bin/garage \
+ --ca-cert /etc/garage/pki/garage-ca.crt \
+ --client-cert /etc/garage/pki/garage.crt \
+ --client-key /etc/garage/pki/garage.key'
+```
+
+Of course, if your deployment does not match exactly one of this alias, feel free to adapt it to your needs!
+
+## Test the alias
+
+You can test your alias by running a simple command such as:
+
+```
+garagectl status
+```
+
+You should get something like that as result:
+
+```
+Healthy nodes:
+2a638ed6c775b69a… 37f0ba978d27 [::ffff:172.20.0.101]:3901 UNCONFIGURED/REMOVED
+68143d720f20c89d… 9795a2f7abb5 [::ffff:172.20.0.103]:3901 UNCONFIGURED/REMOVED
+8781c50c410a41b3… 758338dde686 [::ffff:172.20.0.102]:3901 UNCONFIGURED/REMOVED
+```
+
+...which means that you are ready to configure your cluster!
