-# XDS - X(cross) Development System Agent
-
-XDS-agent is a client that should run on your local / user development machine when you use XDS.
-
-This agent takes care, among others, of starting [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/)
-tool to synchronize your project files from your local host to XDS build server
-machine or container (where `xds-server` is running).
-
-> **SEE ALSO**: [xds-server](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/xds/xds-server.git), a web server
-used to remotely cross build applications.
-
-## Configuration
-
-xds-agent configuration is driven by a JSON config file.
-
-The tarball mentioned in previous section includes this file with default settings.
-
-Here is the logic to determine which conf file will be used:
-
-1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
-1. `$HOME/.xds/agent/agent-config.json` file
-1. `/etc/xds/agent/agent-config.json` file
-
-Supported fields in configuration file are (all fields are optional and example
-below corresponds to the default values):
-
-- **httpPort** : http port of agent REST interface
-- **webAppDir** : location of client webapp / dashboard (default: webapp/dist)
-- **logsDir** : directory to store logs (eg. syncthing output)
-- **xdsServers** : an array of xds-server object
- - **xdsServers.url**: url of xds-server to connect to
-- **syncthing**: a object defining syncthing settings
- - **syncthing.binDir** : syncthing binaries directory (default: executable directory)
- - **syncthing.home"** : syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)
- - **syncthing.gui-address** : syncthing gui url (default <http://localhost:8386>)
- - **syncthing.gui-apikey** : syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated)
-
-```json
-{
- "httpPort": "8800",
- "webAppDir": "./www",
- "logsDir": "${HOME}/.xds/agent/logs",
- "xdsServers": [
- {
- "url": "http://localhost:8000"
- }
- ],
- "syncthing": {
- "home": "${HOME}/.xds/agent/syncthing-config",
- "gui-address": "http://localhost:8386",
- "gui-apikey": "1234abcezam"
- }
-}
-```
-
->**Note:**
->
->environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
-
-## Start-up
-
-Simply to start `xds-agent` executable
-
-```bash
-./xds-agent &
-```
-
->**Note:**
->
->If need be, you can increase log level by setting option
-`--log <level>`, supported *level* are: panic, fatal, error, warn, info, debug.
-
-You can now use XDS dashboard and check that connection with `xds-agent` is up.
-
-## Build xds-agent from scratch
-
-### Dependencies
-
-Install [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install), [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/),
-[nodejs](https://nodejs.org/en/) and some other tools.
-Refer to [Prerequisites chapter](./0_Abstract.html#prerequisites) for more details.
-
-### Building
-
-Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/xds` and use delivered Makefile:
-
-```bash
- mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/xds
- cd $GOPATH/src/gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/xds
- git clone https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/xds/xds-agent
- # or git clone ssh://YOUR_USERNAME@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:29418/src/xds/xds-agent
- cd xds-agent
- make all
-```
-
-And to install xds-agent (by default in `/usr/local/bin`):
-
-```bash
-make install
-```
-
->**Note:**
->
->Used `DESTDIR` to specify another install directory
->```bash
->make install DESTDIR=$HOME/opt/xds-agent
->```
-
-#### Cross build
-
-For example on a Linux machine to cross-build for Windows, just follow these steps.
-
-The first time you need to install all the windows-amd64 standard packages on
-your system with
-
-```bash
-# List all supported OS / ARCH
-go tool dist list
-
-# Install all standard packages for another OS/ARCH (eg. windows amd64)
-GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go install -v -a std
-```
-
-Then compile and package xds-agent using provided makefile
-
-```bash
-export GOOS=windows
-export GOARCH=amd64
-make all
-make package
-```
-
-## Debugging
-
-### XDS agent architecture
-
-The agent part is written in *Go* and the webapp / dashboard is in *typescript + Angular4*.
-
-```bash
-|
-+-- bin/ where xds-server binary file will be built
-|
-+-- conf.d Linux configuration and startup files (systemd user service)
-|
-+-- glide.yaml Go package dependency file
-|
-+-- lib/ sources of server part (Go)
-|
-+-- main.go main entry point of of Web server (Go)
-|
-+-- Makefile makefile including
-|
-+-- README.md this readme
-|
-+-- scripts/ hold various scripts used for installation or startup
-|
-+-- tools/ temporary directory to hold development tools (like glide)
-|
-+-- vendor/ temporary directory to hold Go dependencies packages
-|
-+-- webapp/ source client basic webapp / dashboard
-```
-
-### Debug
-
-Visual Studio Code launcher settings can be found into `.vscode/launch.json`.
-
->**Tricks:**
->
->To debug both `xds-agent` and `xds-server` or common code
->`xds-common`, it may be useful use the same local sources.
->
->So you should replace `xds-server` + `xds-common` in `vendor` directory by a symlink.
->
->So clone first `xds-server` + `xds-common` sources next to `xds-agent` directory.
-
-You should have the following tree:
-
-```bash
-tree -L 5 --charset=ascii src/
-src/
-`-- gerrit.automotivelinux.org
- `-- gerrit
- `-- src
- `-- xds
- |-- backup.sh
- |-- xds-agent
- |-- xds-cli
- |-- xds-common
- |-- xds-docs
- |-- xds-gdb
- `-- xds-server
-```
-
-Then invoke `vendor/debug` Makefile rule to create a symlink inside vendor
-directory :
-
-```bash
-cd src/gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/src/xds/xds-agent
-make vendor/debug
-```
