In your software, you will always specify `http://localhost:3900`. - - - **It simplifies security.** Instead of having to maintain and renew a TLS certificate, you leverage the Secret Handshake protocol we use for our cluster. The S3 API protocol will be in plain text but limited to your local machine. - -## Limitations - -Currently it will not work with minio client. Follow issue [#64](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/64) for more information. - -## Spawn a Gateway - -The instructions are similar to a regular node, the only option that is different is while configuring the node, you must set the `--gateway` parameter: - -```bash -garage layout assign --gateway --tag gw1 <node_id> -garage layout show # review the changes you are making -garage layout apply # once satisfied, apply the changes -``` - -Then use `http://localhost:3900` when a S3 endpoint is required: - -```bash -aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:3900 s3 ls -``` - -If a newly added gateway node seems to not be working, do a full table resync to ensure that bucket and key list are correctly propagated: - -```bash -garage repair -a --yes tables -``` |
