+# XDS - X(cross) Development System Agent
+
+XDS-agent is a agent that should be run on your local machine when you use XDS.
+
+This agent takes care of starting [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) tool to synchronize your projects files from your local machine to build server machine
+or container.
+
+
+> **SEE ALSO**: [xds-server](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-server), a web server
+used to remotely cross build applications.
+
+
+## How to build
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Install and setup [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) version 1.7 or
+higher to compile this tool.
+
+
+### Building
+
+Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh` and use delivered Makefile:
+```bash
+ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
+ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
+ git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent.git
+ cd xds-agent
+ make all
+```
+
+And to install xds-agent in /usr/local/bin:
+```bash
+make install
+```
+
+## How to run
+
+## Configuration
+
+xds-agent configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`agent-config.json`).
+
+Here is the logic to determine which `agent-config.json` file will be used:
+1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
+2. `$HOME/.xds/agent-config.json` file
+3. `<current dir>/agent-config.json` file
+4. `<xds-agent executable dir>/agent-config.json` file
+
+Supported fields in configuration file are:
+```json
+{
+    "httpPort": "http port of agent REST interface",
+    "syncthing": {
+        "binDir": "syncthing binaries directory (use xds-agent executable dir when not set)",
+        "home": "syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)",
+        "gui-address": "syncthing gui url (default http://localhost:8384)"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+>**NOTE:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
+
+## Start-up
+
+```bash
+./bin/xds-agent.sh
+
+# OR if you have install agent
+
+/usr/local/bin/xds-agent.sh
+```
+
+>**NOTE** you can define some environment variables to setup for example
+config file `XDS_CONFIGFILE` or change logs level `LOG_LEVEL`.
