missing user documentation
It's unclear how to start using this software, where to begin. Wiki outlines how to compile and install, but not how to use. It would be wonderful to have a user guide or a user manual. I see a collection of man pages, but that's inappropriate for someone just starting up, with no knowledge of how the components interconnect.
We do have some documentation for swtpm, but it depends on what the expectations are. First, users would have to have a background on TPM 2 and what it is and what it does. With this knowledge, these wiki pages would help them how to use swtpm with a TSS 2 stack:
- https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki/Using-the-IBM-TSS-with-swtpm
- https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki/Using-the-Intel-TSS-with-swtpm
SuSE also provides documentation:
- https://en.opensuse.org/Software_TPM_Emulator_For_QEMU
Most users will likely use a TPM 2 attached to a QEMU VM. There's QEMU-related documentation in QEMU:
- https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/docs/specs/tpm.rst
They can use swtpm with libvirt:
- https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#tpm-device
