 text is better on bitmask.net anyway).

-Node types
-================================
-
-Every node has one or more services that determines the node's function within your provider's infrastructure.
-
-When adding a new node to your provider, you should ask yourself four questions:
-
-* **many or few?** Some services benefit from having many nodes, while some services are best run on only one or two nodes.
-* **required or optional?** Some services are required, while others can be left out.
-* **who does the node communicate with?** Some services communicate very heavily with other particular services. Nodes running these services should be close together.
-* **public or private?** Some services communicate with the public internet, while others only need to communicate with other nodes in the infrastructure.
-
-Brief overview of the services:
-
-* **webapp**: The web application. Runs both webapp control panel for users and admins as well as the REST API that the client uses. Needs to communicate heavily with `couchdb` nodes. You need at least one, good to have two for redundancy. The webapp does not get a lot of traffic, so you will not need many.
-* **couchdb**: The database for users and user data. You can get away with just one, but for proper redundancy you should have at least three. Communicates heavily with `webapp`, `mx`, and `soledad` nodes.
-* **soledad**: Handles the data syncing with clients. Typically combined with `couchdb` service, since it communicates heavily with couchdb.
-* **mx**: Incoming and outgoing MX servers. Communicates with the public internet, clients, and `couchdb` nodes.
-* **openvpn**: OpenVPN gateway for clients. You need at least one, but want as many as needed to support the bandwidth your users are doing. The `openvpn` nodes are autonomous and don't need to communicate with any other nodes. Often combined with `tor` service.
-* **monitor**: Internal service to monitor all the other nodes. Currently, you can have zero or one `monitor` service defined. It is required that the monitor be on the webapp node. It was not designed to be run as a separate node service.
-* **tor**: Sets up a tor exit node, unconnected to any other service.
-* **dns**: Not yet implemented.
-
-Webapp
------------------------------------
-
-The webapp node is responsible for both the user face web application and the API that the client interacts with.
-
-Some users can be "admins" with special powers to answer tickets and close accounts. To make an account into an administrator, you need to configure the `webapp.admins` property with an array of user names.
-
-For example, to make users `alice` and `bob` into admins, create a file `services/webapp.json` with the following content:
-
-    {
-      "webapp": {
-        "admins": ["bob", "alice"]
-      }
-    }
-
-And then redeploy to all webapp nodes:
-
-    leap deploy webapp
-
-By putting this in `services/webapp.json`, you will ensure that all webapp nodes inherit the value for `webapp.admins`.
