If none of these option work for you, you can also run Garage in a Docker
container. When using Docker, the commands used in this guide will not work
anymore. We recommend reading the tutorial on [configuring a
multi-node cluster](@/documentation/cookbook/real-world.md) to learn about
using Garage as a Docker container. For simplicity, a minimal command to launch
Garage using Docker is provided in this quick start guide as well.

See the [Configuration file format](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/configuration/)
for complete options and values.
Now that your configuration file has been created, you may save it to the directory of your choice.
By default, Garage looks for **`/etc/garage.toml`.**
You can also store it somewhere else, but you will have to specify `-c path/to/garage.toml`

If you have placed the `garage.toml` file in `/etc` (its default location), you can simply run `garage server`.
Alternatively, if you cannot or do not wish to run the Garage binary directly,
you may use Docker to run Garage in a container using the following command:
```bash
docker run \
-d \
--name garaged \
-p 3900:3900 -p 3901:3901 -p 3902:3902 -p 3903:3903 \
-v /etc/garage.toml:/path/to/garage.toml \
-v /var/lib/garage/meta:/path/to/garage/meta \
-v /var/lib/garage/data:/path/to/garage/data \
dxflrs/garage:v0.9.4
```
Under Linux, you can substitute `--network host` for `-p 3900:3900 -p 3901:3901 -p 3902:3902 -p 3903:3903`
#### Troubleshooting
Ensure your configuration file, `metadata_dir` and `data_dir` are readable by the user running the `garage` server or Docker.
You can tune Garage's verbosity by setting the `RUST_LOG=` environment variable. \
Available log levels are (from less verbose to more verbose): `error`, `warn`, `info` *(default)*, `debug` and `trace`.

If you are running Garage in a Docker container, you can set `alias garage="docker exec -ti <container name> /garage"`
to use the Garage binary inside your container.
If the `garage` CLI is able to correctly detect the parameters of your local Garage node,
the following command should be enough to show the status of your cluster:
