# Configuring a test deployment
This section describes how to run a simple test Garage deployment with a single node.
Note that this kind of deployment should not be used in production, as it provides
no redundancy for your data!
We will also skip intra-cluster TLS configuration, meaning that if you add nodes
to your cluster, communication between them will not be secure.
First, make sure that you have Garage installed in your command line environment.
We will explain how to launch Garage in a Docker container, however we still
recommend that you install the `garage` CLI on your host system in order to control
the daemon.
## Writing a first configuration file
This first configuration file should allow you to get started easily with the simplest
possible Garage deployment:
```toml
metadata_dir = "/tmp/meta"
data_dir = "/tmp/data"
replication_mode = "none"
rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901"
bootstrap_peers = []
[s3_api]
s3_region = "garage"
api_bind_addr = "[::]:3900"
[s3_web]
bind_addr = "[::]:3902"
root_domain = ".web.garage"
index = "index.html"
```
Save your configuration file as `garage.toml`.
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 HDD if you want
your data to be persisted properly.
## Launching the Garage server
#### Option 1: directly (without Docker)
Use the following command to launch the Garage server with our configuration file:
```
garage server -c garage.toml
```
By default, Garage displays almost no output. You can tune Garage's verbosity as follows
(from less verbose to more verbose):
```
RUST_LOG=garage=info garage server -c garage.toml
RUST_LOG=garage=debug garage server -c garage.toml
RUST_LOG=garage=trace garage server -c garage.toml
```
Log level `info` is recommended for most use cases.
Log level `debug` can help you check why your S3 API calls are not working.
#### Option 2: in a Docker container
Use the following command to start Garage in a docker container:
```
docker run -d \
-p 3901:3901 -p 3902:3902 -p 3900:3900 \
-v ./config.toml:/garage/config.toml \
lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.3.0
```
To tune Garage's verbosity level, set the `RUST_LOG` environment variable in the configuration
at launch time. For instance:
```
docker run -d \
-p 3901:3901 -p 3902:3902 -p 3900:3900 \
-v ./config.toml:/garage/config.toml \
-e RUST_LOG=garage=info \
lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.3.0
```
## Checking that Garage runs correctly
The `garage` utility is also used as a CLI tool to configure your Garage deployment.
It tries to connect to a Garage server through the RPC protocol, by default looking
for a Garage server at `localhost:3901`.
Since our deployment already binds to port 3901, the following command should be sufficient
to show Garage's status, provided that you installed the `garage` binary on your host system:
```
garage status
```
Move on to [controlling the Garage daemon](04_control.md) to learn more about how to
use the Garage CLI to control your cluster.
Move on to [configuring your cluster](05_cluster.md) in order to configure
your single-node deployment for actual use!

# Configuring a real-world Garage deployment
To run Garage in cluster mode, we recommend having at least 3 nodes.
This will allow you to setup Garage for three-way replication of your data,
the safest and most available mode avaialble.
## Generating a TLS Certificate
You first need to generate TLS certificates to encrypt traffic between Garage nodes
(reffered to as RPC traffic).
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.
## Real-world deployment
To run a real-world deployment, make sure you the following conditions are met:
- You have at least three machines with sufficient storage space available
- Each machine has a public IP address which is reachable by other machines.
Running behind a NAT is possible, but having several Garage nodes behind a single NAT
is slightly more involved as each will have to have a different RPC port number
(the local port number of a node must be the same as the port number exposed publicly
by the NAT).
- Ideally, each machine should have a SSD available in addition to the HDD you are dedicating
to Garage. This will allow for faster access to metadata and has the potential
to drastically reduce Garage's response times.
Before deploying garage on your infrastructure, you must inventory your machines.
For our example, we will suppose the following infrastructure with IPv6 connectivity:
| Location | Name | IP Address | Disk Space |
|----------|---------|------------|------------|
| Paris | Mercury | fc00:1::1 | 1 To |
| Paris | Venus | fc00:1::2 | 2 To |
| London | Earth | fc00:B::1 | 2 To |
| Brussels | Mars | fc00:F::1 | 1.5 To |
On each machine, we will have a similar setup,
especially you must consider the following folders/files:
- `/etc/garage/config.toml`: Garage daemon's configuration (see below)
- `/etc/garage/pki/`: Folder containing Garage certificates, must be generated on your computer and copied on the servers
- `/var/lib/garage/meta/`: Folder containing Garage's metadata, put this folder on a SSD if possible
- `/var/lib/garage/data/`: Folder containing Garage's data, this folder will grows and must be on a large storage, possibly big HDDs.
- `/etc/systemd/system/garage.service`: Service file to start garage at boot automatically (defined below, not required if you use docker)
A valid `/etc/garage/config.toml` for our cluster would be:
```toml
metadata_dir = "/var/lib/garage/meta"
data_dir = "/var/lib/garage/data"
replication_mode = "3"
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 = "/etc/garage/pki/garage-ca.crt"
node_cert = "/etc/garage/pki/garage.crt"
node_key = "/etc/garage/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 make sure to change `bootstrap_peers` to **your** IP addresses!
Check the [configuration file reference documentation](../reference_manual/configuration.md)
to learn more about all available configuration options.
### For docker users
On each machine, you can run the daemon with:
```bash
docker run \
-d \
--name garaged \
--restart always \
--network host \
-v /etc/garage/pki:/etc/garage/pki \
-v /etc/garage/config.toml:/garage/config.toml \
-v /var/lib/garage/meta:/var/lib/garage/meta \
-v /var/lib/garage/data:/var/lib/garage/data \
lxpz/garage_amd64:v0.3.0
```
It should be restart automatically at each reboot.
Please note that we use host networking as otherwise Docker containers
can not communicate with IPv6.
Upgrading between Garage versions should be supported transparently,
but please check the relase notes before doing so!
To upgrade, simply stop and remove this container and
start again the command with a new version of garage.
### For systemd/raw binary users
Create a file named `/etc/systemd/system/garage.service`:
```toml
[Unit]
Description=Garage Data Store
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Environment='RUST_LOG=garage=info' 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1'
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/garage server -c /etc/garage/config.toml
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
To start the service then automatically enable it at boot:
```bash
sudo systemctl start garage
sudo systemctl enable garage
```
To see if the service is running and to browse its logs:
```bash
sudo systemctl status garage
sudo journalctl -u garage
```
If you want to modify the service file, do not forget to run `systemctl daemon-reload`
to inform `systemd` of your modifications.

# 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:
- [Test deployment](#test-deployment) though `docker-compose`
- [Real-world deployment](#real-world-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
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.
## Test deployment
Single machine deployment is only described through `docker-compose`.
Before starting, we recommend you create a folder for our deployment:
```bash
mkdir garage-single
cd garage-single
```
We start by creating a file named `docker-compose.yml` describing our network and our containers:
```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 next to it 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
```
That's all, you are ready to [configure your cluster!](./cluster.md).
## Real-world 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:B::1 | 2 To |

The following gives details about each available configuration option.
## Available configuration options
#### `metadata_dir`
The directory in which Garage will store its metadata. This contains the node identifier,
the network configuration and the peer list, the list of buckets and keys as well
as the index of all objects, object version and object blocks.
Store this folder on a fast SSD drive if possible to maximize Garage's performance.
#### `data_dir`
The directory in which Garage will store the data blocks of objects.
This folder can be placed on an HDD. The space available for `data_dir`
should be counted to determine a node's capacity
when [configuring it](../getting_started/05_cluster.md).
#### `block_size`
Garage splits stored objects in consecutive chunks of size `block_size` (except the last
one which might be standard). The default size is 1MB and should work in most cases.
If you are interested in tuning this, feel free to do so (and remember to report your
findings to us!)
#### `replication_mode`
Garage supports the following replication modes:
- `none` or `1`: data stored on Garage is stored on a single node. There is no redundancy,
and data will be unavailable as soon as one node fails or its network is disconnected.
Do not use this for anything else than test deployments.
- `2`: data stored on Garage will be stored on two different nodes, if possible in different
zones. Garage tolerates one node failure before losing data. Data should be available
read-only when one node is down, but write operations will fail.
Use this only if you really have to.
- `3`: data stored on Garage will be stored on three different nodes, if possible each in
a different zones.
Garage tolerates two node failure before losing data. Data should be available
read-only when two nodes are down, and writes should be possible if only a single node
is down.
Note that in modes `2` and `3`,
if at least the same number of zones are available, an arbitrary number of failures in
any given zone is tolerated as copies of data will be spread over several zones.
**Make sure `replication_mode` is the same in the configuration files of all nodes.
Never run a Garage cluster where that is not the case.**
Changing the `replication_mode` of a cluster might work (make sure to shut down all nodes
and changing it everywhere at the time), but is not officially supported.
#### `rpc_bind_addr`
The address and port on which to bind for inter-cluster communcations
(reffered to as RPC for remote procedure calls).
The port specified here should be the same one that other nodes will used to contact
the node, even in the case of a NAT: the NAT should be configured to forward the external
port number to the same internal port nubmer. This means that if you have several nodes running
behind a NAT, they should each use a different RPC port number.
#### `bootstrap_peers`
A list of IPs and ports on which to contact other Garage peers of this cluster.
This should correspond to the RPC ports set up with `rpc_bind_addr`.
#### `consul_host` and `consul_service_name`
Garage supports discovering other nodes of the cluster using Consul.
This works only when nodes are announced in Consul by an orchestrator such as Nomad,
as Garage is not able to announce itself.
The `consul_host` parameter should be set to the hostname of the Consul server,
and `consul_service_name` should be set to the service name under which Garage's
RPC ports are announced.
#### `max_concurrent_rpc_requests`
Garage implements rate limiting for RPC requests: no more than
`max_concurrent_rpc_requests` concurrent outbound RPC requests will be made
by a Garage node (additionnal requests will be put in a waiting queue).
#### `sled_cache_capacity`
This parameter can be used to tune the capacity of the cache used by
[sled](https://sled.rs), the database Garage uses internally to store metadata.
Tune this to fit the RAM you wish to make available to your Garage instance.
More cache means faster Garage, but the default value (128MB) should be plenty
for most use cases.
#### `sled_flush_every_ms`
This parameters can be used to tune the flushing interval of sled.
Increase this if sled is thrashing your SSD, at the risk of losing more data in case
of a power outage (though this should not matter much as data is replicated on other
nodes). The default value, 2000ms, should be appropriate for most use cases.
## The `[rpc_tls]` section
This section should be used to configure the TLS certificates used to encrypt
intra-cluster traffic (RPC traffic). The following parameters should be set:
- `ca_cert`: the certificate of the CA that is allowed to sign individual node certificates
- `node_cert`: the node certificate for the current node
- `node_key`: the key associated with the node certificate
Note tha several nodes may use the same node certificate, as long as it is signed
by the CA.
If this section is absent, TLS is not used to encrypt intra-cluster traffic.
## The `[s3_api]` section
#### `api_bind_addr`
The IP and port on which to bind for accepting S3 API calls.
This endpoint does not suport TLS: a reverse proxy should be used to provide it.
#### `s3_region`
Garage will accept S3 API calls that are targetted to the S3 region defined here.
API calls targetted to other regions will fail with a AuthorizationHeaderMalformed error
message that redirects the client to the correct region.
## The `[s3_web]` section
Garage allows to publish content of buckets as websites. This section configures the
behaviour of this module.
#### `bind_addr`
The IP and port on which to bind for accepting HTTP requests to buckets configured
for website access.
This endpoint does not suport TLS: a reverse proxy should be used to provide it.
#### `root_domain`
The optionnal suffix appended to bucket names for the corresponding HTTP Host.
For instance, if `root_domain` is `web.garage.eu`, a bucket called `deuxfleurs.fr`
will be accessible either with hostname `deuxfleurs.fr.web.garage.eu`
or with hostname `deuxfleurs.fr`.
#### `index`
The name of the index file to return for requests ending with `/` (usually `index.html`).
