+# Gateway backed by a CAR File
+
+This is an example that shows how to build a Gateway backed by the contents of
+a CAR file. A [CAR file](https://ipld.io/specs/transport/car/) is a Content
+Addressable aRchive that contains blocks.
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+> go build -o gateway
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+First of all, you will need some content stored as a CAR file. You can easily
+export your favorite website, or content, using:
+
+```
+ipfs dag export <CID> > data.car
+```
+
+Then, you can start the gateway with:
+
+
+```
+./gateway -c data.car -p 8040
+```
+
+Now you can access the gateway in [127.0.0.1:8040](http://127.0.0.1:8040). It will
+behave like a regular IPFS Gateway, except for the fact that all contents are provided
+from the CAR file. Therefore, things such as IPNS resolution and fetching contents
+from nodes in the IPFS network won't work.
