-# Quick Start
-
-Let's start your Garage journey!
-In this chapter, we explain how to deploy Garage as a single-node server
-and how to interact with it.
-
-Our goal is to introduce you to Garage's workflows.
-Following this guide is recommended before moving on to
-[configuring a multi-node cluster](/documentation/cookbook/real-world/).
-
-Note that this kind of deployment should not be used in production,
-as it provides no redundancy for your data!
-
-## Get a binary
-
-Download the latest Garage binary from the release pages on our repository:
-
-<https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/_releases.html>
-
-Place this binary somewhere in your `$PATH` so that you can invoke the `garage`
-command directly (for instance you can copy the binary in `/usr/local/bin`
-or in `~/.local/bin`).
-
-If a binary of the last version is not available for your architecture,
-or if you want a build customized for your system,
-you can [build Garage from source](/documentation/cookbook/from-source/).
-
-
-## Writing a first configuration file
-
-This first configuration file should allow you to get started easily with the simplest
-possible Garage deployment.
-**Save it as `/etc/garage.toml`.**
-You can also store it somewhere else, but you will have to specify `-c path/to/garage.toml`
-at each invocation of the `garage` binary (for example: `garage -c ./garage.toml server`, `garage -c ./garage.toml status`).
-
-```toml
-metadata_dir = "/tmp/meta"
-data_dir = "/tmp/data"
-
-replication_mode = "none"
-
-rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901"
-rpc_public_addr = "127.0.0.1:3901"
-rpc_secret = "1799bccfd7411eddcf9ebd316bc1f5287ad12a68094e1c6ac6abde7e6feae1ec"
-
-bootstrap_peers = []
-
-[s3_api]
-s3_region = "garage"
-api_bind_addr = "[::]:3900"
-root_domain = ".s3.garage"
-
-[s3_web]
-bind_addr = "[::]:3902"
-root_domain = ".web.garage"
-index = "index.html"
-```
-
-The `rpc_secret` value provided above is just an example. It will work, but in
-order to secure your cluster you will need to use another one. You can generate
-such a value with `openssl rand -hex 32`.
-
-
-As you can see in the `metadata_dir` and `data_dir` parameters, we are saving Garage's data
-in `/tmp` which gets erased when your system reboots. This means that data stored on this
-Garage server will not be persistent. Change these to locations on your local disk if you want
-your data to be persisted properly.
-
-
-# Launching the Garage server
-
-Use the following command to launch the Garage server with our configuration file:
-
-```
-RUST_LOG=garage=info garage server
-```
-
-You can tune Garage's verbosity as follows (from less verbose to more verbose):
-
-```
-RUST_LOG=garage=info garage server
-RUST_LOG=garage=debug garage server
-RUST_LOG=garage=trace garage server
-```
-
-Log level `info` is recommended for most use cases.
-Log level `debug` can help you check why your S3 API calls are not working.
-
-
-## Checking that Garage runs correctly
-
-The `garage` utility is also used as a CLI tool to configure your Garage deployment.
-It uses values from the TOML configuration file to find the Garage daemon running on the
-local node, therefore if your configuration file is not at `/etc/garage.toml` you will
-again have to specify `-c path/to/garage.toml`.
-
-If the `garage` CLI is able to correctly detect the parameters of your local Garage node,
-the following command should be enough to show the status of your cluster:
-
-```
-garage status
-```
-
-This should show something like this:
-
-```
-==== HEALTHY NODES ====
-ID Hostname Address Tag Zone Capacity
-563e1ac825ee3323… linuxbox 127.0.0.1:3901 NO ROLE ASSIGNED
-```
-
-## Creating a cluster layout
-
-Creating a cluster layout for a Garage deployment means informing Garage
-of the disk space available on each node of the cluster
-as well as the zone (e.g. datacenter) each machine is located in.
-
-For our test deployment, we are using only one node. The way in which we configure
-it does not matter, you can simply write:
-
-```bash
-garage layout assign -z dc1 -c 1 <node_id>
-```
-
-where `<node_id>` corresponds to the identifier of the node shown by `garage status` (first column).
-You can enter simply a prefix of that identifier.
-For instance here you could write just `garage layout assign -z dc1 -c 1 563e`.
-
-The layout then has to be applied to the cluster, using:
-
-```bash
-garage layout apply
-```
-
-
-## Creating buckets and keys
-
-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:
-
-```
-garage help
-garage bucket allow --help
-```
-
-#### Create a bucket
-
-Let's take an example where we want to deploy NextCloud using Garage as the
-main data storage.
-
-First, create a bucket with the following command:
-
-```
-garage bucket create nextcloud-bucket
-```
-
-Check that everything went well:
-
-```
-garage bucket list
-garage bucket info nextcloud-bucket
-```
-
-#### Create an API key
-
-The `nextcloud-bucket` bucket now exists on the Garage server,
-however it cannot be accessed until we add an API key with the proper access rights.
-
-Note that API keys are independent of buckets:
-one key can access multiple buckets, multiple keys can access one bucket.
-
-Create an API key using the following command:
-
-```
-garage key new --name nextcloud-app-key
-```
-
-The output should look as follows:
-
-```
-Key name: nextcloud-app-key
-Key ID: GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
-Secret key: 7d37d093435a41f2aab8f13c19ba067d9776c90215f56614adad6ece597dbb34
-Authorized buckets:
-```
-
-Check that everything works as intended:
-
-```
-garage key list
-garage key info nextcloud-app-key
-```
-
-#### 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:
-
-```
-garage bucket allow \
- --read \
- --write \
- nextcloud-bucket \
- --key nextcloud-app-key
-```
-
-You can check at any time the allowed keys on your bucket with:
-
-```
-garage bucket info nextcloud-bucket
-```
-
-
-## Uploading and downlading from Garage
-
-We recommend the use of MinIO Client to interact with Garage files (`mc`).
-Instructions to install it and use it are provided on the
-[MinIO website](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide.html).
-Before reading the following, you need a working `mc` command on your path.
-
-Note that on certain Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, the Minio client binary
-is called `mcli` instead of `mc` (to avoid name clashes with the Midnight Commander).
-
-#### Configure `mc`
-
-You need your access key and secret key created above.
-We will assume you are invoking `mc` on the same machine as the Garage server,
-your S3 API endpoint is therefore `http://127.0.0.1:3900`.
-For this whole configuration, you must set an alias name: we chose `my-garage`, that you will used for all commands.
-
-Adapt the following command accordingly and run it:
-
-```bash
-mc alias set \
- my-garage \
- http://127.0.0.1:3900 \
- <access key> \
- <secret key> \
- --api S3v4
-```
-
-You must also add an environment variable to your configuration to
-inform MinIO of our region (`garage` by default, corresponding to the `s3_region` parameter
-in the configuration file).
-The best way is to add the following snippet to your `$HOME/.bash_profile`
-or `$HOME/.bashrc` file:
-
-```bash
-export MC_REGION=garage
-```
-
-#### Use `mc`
-
-You can not list buckets from `mc` currently.
-
-But the following commands and many more should work:
-
-```bash
-mc cp image.png my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
-mc cp my-garage/nextcloud-bucket/image.png .
-mc ls my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
-mc mirror localdir/ my-garage/another-bucket
-```
-
-
-#### Other tools for interacting with Garage
-
-The following tools can also be used to send and recieve files from/to Garage:
-
-- the [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/)
-- [`rclone`](https://rclone.org/)
-- [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/)
-- [`s3cmd`](https://s3tools.org/s3cmd)
-
-Refer to the ["Integrations" section](/documentation/connect/) to learn how to
-configure application and command line utilities to integrate with Garage.
