+# Vault #
+
+### Info:
+
+This template deploys a Hashicorp Vault server along with a Rancher LoadBalancer.  Once it is deployed, you will have a working Vault server ready to be scaled up to meet your environment's needs.
+
+The template is designed to be flexible in how you configure it; you can either statically bind Vault to an existing Consul stack, or ignore Consul all together and paste in your own Vault configuration.
+
+This catalog item uses these two main containers:
+* [Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io) - The official Hashicorp Vault image
+* [Rancher LoadBalancer](https://hub.docker.com/r/rancher/lb-service-haproxy/) - Rancher's own official HAProxy load balancer
+
+## Deployment:
+1. Select the catalog item and choose a version from the drop-down box
+2. Adjust any values on the page to meet your needs.
+3. Make any adjustments to the default config provided, such as:
+   * A different backend than the Consul server specified.
+   * Different ports to listen on (NOTE: Vault ALWAYS listens on port 8200, but you can adjust the LoadBalancer ports to any that are acceptable to your environment; the LoadBalancer handles routing between the port you specify and port 8200 (and 8201) in Vault itself.
+4. Specify the Volume Driver for pesistent mounting of Vault's FILE backing store, and CONFIGURATION
+5. Finally, once the stack is up, you can use your normal Vault process to init, unseal, and more.
+6. Enjoy!
