+# Configure the daemon
+
+Garage is a software that can be run only in a cluster and requires at least 3 instances.
+In our getting started guide, we document two deployment types:
+  - [Single machine deployment](#single-machine-deployment) though `docker-compose`
+  - [Multiple machine deployment](#multiple-machine-deployment) through `docker` or `systemd`
+
+In any case, you first need to generate TLS certificates, as traffic is encrypted between Garage's nodes.
+
+## Generating a TLS Certificate
+
+Next, to generate your TLS certificates, run on your machine:
+
+```
+wget https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/raw/branch/master/genkeys.sh
+chmod +x genkeys.sh
+./genkeys.sh
+```
+
+It will creates a folder named `pki` containing the keys that you will used for the cluster.
+
+### Single machine deployment
+
+Single machine deployment is only described through docker compose.
+
+```yml
+version: '3.4'
+
+networks: { virtnet: { ipam: { config: [ subnet: 172.20.0.0/24 ]}}}
+
+services:
+  g1:
+    image: lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.1.1d
+    networks: { virtnet: { ipv4_address: 172.20.0.101 }}
+    volumes:
+      - "./pki:/pki"
+      - "./config.toml:/garage/config.toml"
+
+  g2:
+    image: lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.1.1d
+    networks: { virtnet: { ipv4_address: 172.20.0.102 }}
+    volumes:
+      - "./pki:/pki"
+      - "./config.toml:/garage/config.toml"
+
+  g3:
+    image: lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.1.1d
+    networks: { virtnet: { ipv4_address: 172.20.0.103 }}
+    volumes:
+      - "./pki:/pki"
+      - "./config.toml:/garage/config.toml"
+```
+
+*We define a static network here which is not considered as a best practise on Docker.
+The rational is that Garage only supports IP address and not domain names in its configuration, so we need to know the IP address in advance.*
+
+and then create the `config.toml` file as follow:
+
+```toml
+metadata_dir = "/garage/meta"
+data_dir = "/garage/data"
+rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901"
+bootstrap_peers = [
+  "172.20.0.101:3901",
+  "172.20.0.102:3901",
+  "172.20.0.103:3901",
+]
+
+[rpc_tls]
+ca_cert = "/pki/garage-ca.crt"
+node_cert = "/pki/garage.crt"
+node_key = "/pki/garage.key"
+
+[s3_api]
+s3_region = "garage"
+api_bind_addr = "[::]:3900"
+
+[s3_web]
+bind_addr = "[::]:3902"
+root_domain = ".web.garage"
+index = "index.html"
+```
+
+*Please note that we have not mounted `/garage/meta` or `/garage/data` on the host: data will be lost when the container will be destroyed.*
+
+And that's all, you are ready to launch your cluster!
+
+```
+sudo docker-compose up
+```
+
+While your daemons are up, your cluster is still not configured yet.
+However, you can check that your services are still listening as expected by querying them from your host:
+
+```bash
+curl http://172.20.0.{101,102,103}:3902
+```
+
+which should give you:
+
+```
+Not found
+Not found
+Not found
+```
+
+### Multiple machine deployment
+
+Before deploying garage on your infrastructure, you must inventory your machines.
+For our example, we will suppose the following infrastructure:
+
+| 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     |
+
+First, you need to setup your machines/VMs by copying on them the `pki` folder in `/etc/garage/pki`.
+All your machines will also share the same configuration file, stored in `/etc/garage/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+metadata_dir = "/var/lib/garage/meta"
+data_dir = "/var/lib/garage/data"
+rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901"
+bootstrap_peers = [
+  "[fc00:1::1]:3901",
+  "[fc00:1::2]:3901",
+  "[fc00:B::1]:3901",
+  "[fc00:F::1]:3901",
+]
+
+[rpc_tls]
+ca_cert = "/pki/garage-ca.crt"
+node_cert = "/pki/garage.crt"
+node_key = "/pki/garage.key"
+
+[s3_api]
+s3_region = "garage"
+api_bind_addr = "[::]:3900"
+
+[s3_web]
+bind_addr = "[::]:3902"
+root_domain = ".web.garage"
+index = "index.html"
+```
