Welcome to MZWS!

Design Principles
---

* Onboarding should be simple.
  Download a binary / run a script, then add more servers / storage / as necessary.
  Configuration should be incremental, in that a basic setup will work and more features can be added with more configuration.

Requirements for setup
---

* Just a single machine: host services locally
* With an internal IP: serve to that IP
* With a public IP: automatic ACME certificates
* With more nodes: automatic consensus across the cluster
* With more storage: automatic CRUSH for S3

Features
---

Services:

* Object storage
  * Managed static websites
* Managed DB

Features:

* Manage collections of services
* ^Programmatically

### Raft docs

* A node initially has no raft startup

Overall state consists of:

* A list of nodes, along with their UUIDs
* Which nodes are exit nodes, i.e hooked up to which public ports
  * The exit nodes will receive requests and forward them to others
  * TODO: For now, just a single load balancer. In the future, have others?
* Which nodes are available to run Docker services, and which services are running on which hosts

### Assumptions

* All nodes can reach each other directly.
  This is either via public internet or a private net like Tailscale.
  Bastion systems are not supported.
