+h2(#introduction). Introduction
+
+Arvados components can be installed in a distributed infrastructure, whether it is an "on-prem" with physical or virtual hosts, or a cloud environment.
+
+As infrastructures vary a great deal from site to site, these instructions should be considered more as 'guidelines' than fixed steps to follow.
+
+We provide an "installer script":salt.html that can help you deploy the different Arvados components. At the time of writing, the provided examples are suitable to install Arvados on AWS.
+
+
+
h2(#hosts_preparation). Hosts preparation
In order to run Arvados on a multi-host installation, there are a few requirements that your infrastructure has to fulfill.
# WORKBENCH node:
## arvados workbench
## arvados workbench2
+## arvados webshell
# KEEPPROXY node:
## arvados keepproxy
## arvados keepweb
Note that these hosts can be virtual machines in your infrastructure and they don't need to be physical machines.

+Again, if your infrastructure differs from the setup proposed above (ie, using RDS or an existing DB server), remember that you will need to edit the configuration files for the scripts so they work with your infrastructure.
+
+
+h3(#hosts_setup_using_terraform). Hosts setup using terraform (AWS, experimental)
+
+We added a few "terraform":https://terraform.io/ scripts (https://github.com/arvados/arvados/tree/main/tools/terraform) to let you create these instances easier in an AWS account. Check "the Arvados terraform documentation":/doc/install/terraform.html for more details.

h2(#multi_host). Multi host install using the provision.sh script
-{% if site.current_version %}
-{% assign branchname = site.current_version | slice: 1, 5 | append: '-dev' %}
-{% else %}
-{% assign branchname = 'master' %}
-{% endif %}
+{% include 'branchname' %}
-This is a package-based installation method. Start with the @provision.sh@ script which is available by cloning the @{{ branchname }}@ branch from "https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git":https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git . The @provision.sh@ script and its supporting files can be found in the "arvados/tools/salt-install":https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git/tree/refs/heads/{{ branchname }}:/tools/salt-install directory in the Arvados git repository.

This procedure will install all the main Arvados components to get you up and running in a multi-host environment.
h3(#create_a_compute_image). Create a compute image
-In a multi-host installation, containers are dispatched in docker daemons running in the <i>compute instances</i>, which need some special setup. We provide a "compute image builder script":https://github.com/arvados/arvados/tree/master/tools/compute-images that you can use to build a template image following "these instructions":https://doc.arvados.org/main/install/crunch2-cloud/install-compute-node.html . Once you have that image created, you can use the image reference in the Arvados configuration in the next steps.

h2(#choose_configuration). Choose the desired configuration
Edit the variables in the <i>local.params</i> file. Pay attention to the <b>*_INT_IP, *_TOKEN</b> and <b>*KEY</b> variables. Those variables will be used to do a search and replace on the <i>pillars/*</i> in place of any matching __VARIABLE__.
-The <i>multi_host</i> include LetsEncrypt salt code to automatically request and install the certificates for the public-facing hosts (API, Workbench) so it will need the hostnames to be reachable from the Internet. If this cluster will not be the case, please set the variable <i>USE_LETSENCRYPT=no</i>.
+The <i>multi_host</i> example includes LetsEncrypt salt code to automatically request and install the certificates for the public-facing hosts (API/controller, Workbench, Keepproxy/Keepweb) using AWS' Route53.
+
+If you plan to use custom certificates, please set the variable <i>USE_LETSENCRYPT=no</i> and copy your certificates to the directory specified with the variable @CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR@ (usually "./certs") in the remote directory where you copied the @provision.sh@ script. From this dir, the provision script will install the certificates required for the role you're installing.
+
+The script expects cert/key files with these basenames (matching the role except for <i>keepweb</i>, which is split in both <i>download / collections</i>):
+
+* "controller"
+* "websocket"
+* "workbench"
+* "workbench2"
+* "webshell"
+* "download" # Part of keepweb
+* "collections" # Part of keepweb
+* "keepproxy"
+
+Ie., for 'keepproxy', the script will lookup for
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.crt
+${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.key
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
