+Primate Guide
+=============
+
+What is Primate?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Apache CloudStack Primate is a modern role-based progressive UI based on Vue.js
+and Ant Design for Apache CloudStack.
+
+.. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/master/docs/screenshot-dashboard.png

+   :alt: alternate text
+   :align: left
+
+With Apache CloudStack 4.14, a technical preview of Primate is proposed that
+users can evaluate. The technical preview release is not an officially voted
+release by the Apache CloudStack project but offers a snapshot build of Primate
+for users for testing and evaluation. The official Primate GA is expected with
+the next CloudStack release where the legacy UI will be deprecated, and the
+legacy UI will be removed in an eventual major CloudStack release.
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    NOTE: Primate tech-preview is not suitable to run in production environments.
+
+`User participation in the community mailing lists
+<http://cloudstack.apache.org/mailing-lists.html>`_ is encouraged. Users may
+also log issues on Github https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/issues
+
+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Primate uses API auto-discovery to discover APIs allowed for a logged-in user
+and creates navigation and views based on that.
+
+- Apache CloudStack 4.13.1.0 or later
+- API auto-discovery (listApis enabled)
+- All modern browsers that are `ES5-compliant <https://github.com/vuejs/vue#browser-compatibility>`_
+
+In theory Primate can work with any older version of CloudStack.
+However, several Primate list views require API pagination support, some of which are
+available starting Apache CloudStack 4.13.1.0.
+
+Installation on CentOS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Users running management server (4.13 or above) on CentOS can setup the
+following Primate tech-preview repository:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    rpm --import https://download.cloudstack.org/primate/release.asc
+    cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack-primate-tech-preview.repo
+    [cloudstack-primate-tech-preview]
+    name=cloudstack
+    baseurl=https://download.cloudstack.org/primate/testing/preview/centos/
+    enabled=1
+    gpgcheck=1
+    gpgkey=https://download.cloudstack.org/primate/release.asc
+    EOF
+
+Next, install Primate:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    yum install cloudstack-primate
+
+Note: there is no need to restart management server post-installation, and
+after installation the UI can be accessed on
+management-server-host:8080/client/primate using any modern browser.
+
+Installation on Ubuntu
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Users running CloudStack management server (4.13 or above) on Ubuntu can setup the following Primate tech-preview repository:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys BDF0E176584DF93F
+    echo deb https://download.cloudstack.org/primate/testing/preview/debian / > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudstack-primate-tech-preview.list
+
+Next, install Primate:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    apt-get update
+    apt-get install cloudstack-primate
+
+Note: there is no need to restart management server post-installation, and
+after installation the UI can be accessed on
+management-server-host:8080/client/primate using any modern browser.
+
+Using Archive
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Primate archives are tarballs of single-page app builds. They can be simply
+downloaded and extracted to the management server webapp directory or hosted
+with a custom webserver.
+
+Users can download the builds from https://download.cloudstack.org/primate/testing/preview/archive/
+
+Using Docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Users can use docker builds of the tech preview from https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/cloudstack-primate
+
+For example:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    docker pull apache/cloudstack-primate:tech-preview
+    docker run -ti --rm -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd)/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d:ro apache/cloudstack-primate:tech-preview
+
+Example nginx config:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    server {
+        listen       80;
+        server_name  localhost;
+        location / {
+            root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
+            index  index.html;
+        }
+        location /client/ {
+            # http://127.0.0.1:8080 should be replaced your CloudStack management
+            # Server's actual URI
+            proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:8080;
+        }
+    }
+
