+## How to welcome a new administrator
+
+See: https://guide.deuxfleurs.fr/operations/acces/pass/
+
+Basically:
+ - The new administrator generates a GPG key and publishes it on Gitea
+ - All existing administrators pull their key and sign it
+ - An existing administrator reencrypt the keystore with this new key and push it
+ - The new administrator clone the repo and check that they can decrypt the secrets
+ - Finally, the new administrator must choose a password to operate over SSH with `./passwd prod rick` where `rick` is the target username
+
+
+## How to create files for a new zone
+
+*The documentation is written for the production cluster, the same apply for other clusters.*
+
+Basically:
+ - Create your `site` file in `cluster/prod/site/` folder
+ - Create your `node` files in `cluster/prod/node/` folder
+ - Add your wireguard configuration to `cluster/prod/cluster.nix`
+ - You will have to edit your NAT config manually to bind one public IPv4 port to each node
+ - Nodes' public wireguard keys are generated during the first run of `deploy_nixos`, see below
+ - Add your nodes to `cluster/prod/ssh_config`, it will be used by the various SSH scripts.
+ - If you use `ssh` directly, use `ssh -F ./cluster/prod/ssh_config`
+ - Add `User root` for the first time as your user will not be declared yet on the system
+
+## How to deploy a Nix configuration on a fresh node
+
+We suppose that the node name is `datura`.
+Start by doing the deployment one node at a time, you will have plenty of time
+in your operator's life to break everything through automation.
+
+Run:
+ - `./deploy_nixos prod datura` - to deploy the nix configuration file;
+ - a new wireguard key is printed if it hadn't been generated before, it has to be
+ added to `cluster.nix`, and then redeployed on all nodes as the new wireguard conf is needed everywhere
+ - `./deploy_passwords prod datura` - to deploy user's passwords
+ - if a user changes their password (using `./passwd`), needs to be redeployed on all nodes to setup the password on all nodes
+ - `./deploy_pki prod datura` - to deploy Nomad's and Consul's PKI
+
+## How to operate a node
+
+Edit your `~/.ssh/config` file:
+
+```
+Host dahlia
+ HostName dahlia.machine.deuxfleurs.fr
+ LocalForward 14646 127.0.0.1:4646
+ LocalForward 8501 127.0.0.1:8501
+ LocalForward 1389 bottin.service.prod.consul:389
+ LocalForward 5432 psql-proxy.service.prod.consul:5432
+```
+
+Then run the TLS proxy and leave it running:
+
+```
+./tlsproxy prod
+```
+
+SSH to a production machine (e.g. dahlia) and leave it running:
+
+```
+ssh dahlia
+```
+
+
+Finally you should see be able to access the production Nomad and Consul by browsing:
+
+ - Consul: http://localhost:8500
+ - Nomad: http://localhost:4646
