I’m following this NAT’s tutorial. The docs seem to be quite old, but I guess there might not be any changes.

https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/nats_docker

So this got me a 3 node cluster up and running using docker-compose. There is a note that mentions that the routes are protected with a user name and password.

I then moved on to the Python tutorial.

https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/nats_docker/ngs-docker-python

This mentions passing a –creds argument to a simple Python client. The argument should apparently reference a NGS.creds file which presumably contains the creds for the protected route. However, I have no idea what the file format should look like. I can’r seem to find it documented anywhere.

Can somebody point me in the right direction please.
