+# nats-server configuration
+
+This folder contains several scripts to help out setting up the nats-server configuration.
+
+You can run each script individually, or you can use one of the wrapper scripts.
+
+## docker-compose
+
+ Create a directory where you want your docker compose files, and enter that directory
+ 
+ Clone the steward repository:
+
+```bash
+mkdir my_dir
+cd my_dir
+git clone https://github.com/RaaLabs/steward.git
+```
+
+Execute the wrapper script with the following arguments:
+
+`./steward/scripts/nats-server/wrapper.sh <LetsEncrypt Cert file> <LetsEncrypt Key file> <nats-server listen port>`
+
+```bash
+./steward/scripts/nats-server/wrapper.sh ../some/dir/le.crt ../some/dir/le.key 50222
+```
+
+This will create all files needed, but you need to add user configuration to the **nats.conf** file manually.
+
+A template for the central steward instance are added by default, but **you need** to edit the file and replace the **`FILL-IN...`** fields with your central user key, and **organization name** according to the naming you want to use as node names. **Read more about the naming in the main README.md.**
+
+**NB**: LetsEncrypt certificate can be generated by using <https://github.com/RaaLabs/certupdater>
