## Controling the daemon
The `garage` binary has two purposes:
- - it acts as a daemon when launched with `garage server ...`
+ - 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. For instance, enter the Docker container with:
+Ensure an appropriate `garage` binary (the same version as your Docker image) is available in your path.
+If your configuration file is at `/etc/garage.toml`, the `garage` binary should work with no further change.

-`garage` requires 4 options to talk with the daemon:
+At this point, nodes are not yet talking to one another.
+Your output should therefore look like follows:

---client-cert <client-cert>

```
-The 3 first ones are certificates and keys needed by TLS, the last one is simply the address of Garage's RPC endpoint.
-If you are invoking `garage` from a server node directly, you do not need to set `--rpc-host`
-as the default value `127.0.0.1:3901` will allow it to contact Garage correctly.
+## Connecting nodes together
+
+When your Garage nodes first start, they will generate a local node identifier
+(based on a public/private key pair).
-To avoid typing the 3 first options each time we want to run a command,
-you can use the following alias:
+To obtain the node identifier of a node, once it is generated,
+run `garage node-id`.
+This will print keys as follows:
```bash
-alias garagectl='/garage/garage \
