 ## Codelab
 
+In this codelab, you'll bring a new TesseraCT POSIX instance up,
+and send certificate chains to it. These entries can either be
+preloaded from an existing RFC6962 log, or generated locally with
+the [hammer tool](/internal/hammer).
+
+### Preloading

 Generate an ECDSA key like so:
 
 ```bash

 entries being sent to the log.
 Use a larger `start_index` to avoid submitting duplicate entries and running into
 this behaviour.

+### Hammer
+
+Generate ECDSA public and private keys like so:
+
+```bash
+openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out /tmp/test-ecdsa-priv.pem 
+openssl ec -in /tmp/test-ecdsa-priv.pem -pubout > /tmp/test-ecdsa-pub.pem
+```
+
+Then, start a log with the following command:
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/tesseract/posix/ \
+  --http_endpoint=0.0.0.0:6962 \
+  --storage_dir=/tmp/ecdsa_log \

+  --enable_publication_awaiter=false

+```bash
