Guide

Read these pages in order. Each one leaves a cluster you use on the next page. Do not skip ahead to a flag or an RPC.

1. Install the binary
2. Start the first member
3. Grow the cluster
4. Watch and publish
5. Use it from your app
6. Run on other hosts

1. Install the binary — clusdr on PATH
2. Start the first member — identity, Raft, one row in members
3. Grow the cluster — a second voter, then an observer
4. Watch and publish — what changed, and a signal that is not Raft
5. Use it from your app — local SDK, locks, leases
6. Run on other hosts — real addresses, Docker Hub, health

After the guide: Overview if you are still deciding, concepts for guarantees, reference for a flag or RPC.
