+# How to launch files gateway?
+
+As is detailed on [docs](https://github.com/autonomys/auto-files-gateway/), files gateway is a three component system and should be launched in this order:
+
+## 1. Subspace Node
+
+Not essential you can optionally connect a remote RPC though you will have to wait for your published IPLD nodes to be archived.
+
+## 2. Database
+
+Both DAG indexer and object mapping indexer needs a database for storing some data. There you can launch a postgres at: `psql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres` by executing the command `docker compose -f docker/object-mapping-indexer/docker-compose.yml --profile development up -d db`
+
+## 3. DAG indexer
+
+This will store the IPLD nodes metadata on a database which enables features like partial file retrieval and speeds up retrieval by not retrieving `Inlink` nodes.
+
+You will have to setup the following `.env` at the root of the repo
+
+```bash
+# subquery params
+RPC_ENDPOINTS=wss://rpc-0.mainnet.autonomys.xyz/ws # or your local
+CHAIN_ID=0x66455a580aabff303720aa83adbe6c44502922251c03ba73686d5245da9e21bd
+START_BLOCK=0 # this might fail if node is not in archival mode
+
+# database
+DB_USER=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=postgres
+DB_DATABASE=postgres
+DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
+DB_PORT=5432
+```
+
+And launch it with:
+
+```bash
+make dag-indexer
+yarn dag-indexer start
+```
+
+## 4. Object Mapping Indexer
+
+For setting up the object mapping indexer, you will need to provide the following config at `services/object-mapping-indexer/.env`
+
+```bash
+NODE_RPC_URL=wss://rpc-0.mainnet.autonomys.xyz/ws # or your local
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres
+```
+
+And, for launch it:
+
+```bash
+make indexer
+yarn indexer start
+```
+
+## 5. File Retriever
+
+Finally, the last piece of the files gateway is the file retriever which has the following config at `services/file-retriever/.env`
+
+```bash
+SUBSPACE_GATEWAY_URLS=http://localhost:9955
+OBJECT_MAPPING_INDEXER_URL=http://localhost:3000
+VICTORIA_ACTIVE=false
+VICTORIA_ENDPOINT=<victoria-endpoint>
+VICTORIA_USERNAME=<victoria-username>
+VICTORIA_PASSWORD=<victoria-password>
+API_SECRET=random-secret # the apikey needed for file retrieval
+CORS_ORIGIN=*
+MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_FETCHES=10 # optional
+CACHE_DIR=./.cache # optional
+CACHE_MAX_SIZE=1024000000 # optional
+CACHE_TTL=86400000 # optional
+
+```
+
+And, for launch it:
+
+```bash
+make file-retriever
+yarn file-retriever start
+```
+
+And with that files gateway would be fully deployed locally
