# Create buckets and keys
|
||||
|
||||
First, chances are that your garage deployment is secured by TLS.
|
||||
All your commands must be prefixed with their certificates.
|
||||
I will define an alias once and for all to ease future commands.
|
||||
Please adapt the path of the binary and certificates to your installation!
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
alias grg="/garage/garage --ca-cert /secrets/garage-ca.crt --client-cert /secrets/garage.crt --client-key /secrets/garage.key"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now we can check that everything is going well by checking our cluster status:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget that `help` command and `--help` subcommands can help you anywhere, the CLI tool is self-documented! Two examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg help
|
||||
grg bucket allow --help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Fine, now let's create a bucket (we imagine that you want to deploy nextcloud):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg bucket create nextcloud-bucket
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check that everything went well:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg bucket list
|
||||
grg bucket info nextcloud-bucket
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now we will generate an API key to access this bucket.
|
||||
Note that API keys are independent of buckets: one key can access multiple buckets, multiple keys can access one bucket.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let's start by creating a key only for our PHP application:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg key new --name nextcloud-app-key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will have the following output (this one is fake, `key_id` and `secret_key` were generated with the openssl CLI tool):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Key { key_id: "GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558", secret_key: "7d37d093435a41f2aab8f13c19ba067d9776c90215f56614adad6ece597dbb34", name: "nextcloud-app-key", name_timestamp: 1603280506694, deleted: false, authorized_buckets: [] }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check that everything works as intended (be careful, info works only with your key identifier and not with its friendly name!):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg key list
|
||||
grg key info GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have a bucket and a key, we need to give permissions to the key on the bucket!
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg bucket allow --read --write nextcloud-bucket --key GK3515373e4c851ebaad366558
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can check at any times allowed keys on your bucket with:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
grg bucket info nextcloud-bucket
|

```

# Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, only two installations procedures are supported for Garage: from Docker (x86\_64 for Linux) and from source.
|
||||
In the future, we plan to add a third one, by publishing a compiled binary (x86\_64 for Linux).
|
||||
We did not test other architecture/operating system but, as long as your architecture/operating system is supported by Rust, you should be able to run Garage (feel free to report your tests!).
|
||||
|
||||
## From Docker
|
||||
|
||||
Garage is a software that can be run only in a cluster and requires at least 3 instances.
|
||||
If you plan to run the 3 instances on your machine for test purposes, we recommend a **docker-compose** deployment.
|
||||
If you have 3 independent machines (or 3 VM on independent machines) that can communite together, a **simple docker** deployment is enough.
|
||||
In any case, you first need to pick a Docker image version.
|
||||
|
||||
Our docker image is currently named `lxpz/garage_amd64` and is stored on the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lxpz/garage_amd64/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated).
|
||||
We encourage you to use a fixed tag (eg. `v0.1.1d`) and not the `latest` tag.
|
||||
For this example, we will use the latest published version at the time of the writing which is `v0.1.1d` but it's up to you
|
||||
to check [the most recent versions on the Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lxpz/garage_amd64/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated).

- **Feature extensiveness**: complete implementation of the S3 API or any other API to make garage a drop-in replacement is not targeted as it could lead to decisions impacting our desirable properties.

OpenStack Swift at least fails on the *self-contained & lightweight* goal.

Starting it requires around 8Gb of RAM, which is too much especially in an hyperconverged infrastructure.

It seems also to be far from *Simple*.

**[Pithos](https://github.com/exoscale/pithos)**
|

Pithos has been abandonned and should probably not used yet, in the following we explain why we did not pick their design.
|
||||
Pithos was relying as a S3 proxy in front of Cassandra (and was working with Scylla DB too).
|
||||
From its designers' mouth, storing data in Cassandra has shown its limitations justifying the project abandonment.
|
||||
They built a closed-source version 2 that does not store blobs in the database (only metadata) but did not communicate further on it.
|
||||
We considered there v2's design but concluded that it does not fit both our *Self-contained & lightweight* and *Simple* properties. It makes the development, the deployment and the operations more complicated while reducing the flexibility.

**[Ceph](https://ceph.io/ceph-storage/object-storage/) :**
|
||||
This review holds for the whole Ceph stack, including the RADOS paper, Ceph Object Storage module, the RADOS Gateway, etc.
|
||||
At is core, Ceph has been designed to provide *POSIX/Filesystem compatibility* which requires strong consistency, which in turn
|
||||
makes Ceph latency sensitive and fails our *Internet enabled* goal.
|
||||
Due to its industry oriented design, Ceph is also far from being *Simple* to operate and from being *self-contained & lightweight* which makes it hard to integrate it in an hyperconverged infrastructure.
|
||||
In a certain way, Ceph and Minio are closer togethers than they are from Garage or OpenStack Swift.
