All cloud storage services store the data in a particular container (also
called a "bucket" in some storage services). You can create this container
using the "tahoe admin create-container" command, once you have a correctly
-configured Tahoe-LAFS node. That is, configure the node with the container
-name you decided to use (e.g. "tahoedata"), then run the command.

+(Currently, "tahoe admin create-container" works only for the S3 and
