-This powerful and portable webserver (written in [Go](https://golang.org))
-exposes a REST interface over HTTP and also provides a Web dashboard to configure projects and execute _(for now)_ only basics commands.
+## Documentation
-`xds-server` uses [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) tool to synchronize
-projects files from user machine to build server machine or container.
+Please find XDS User's Guide online at :
-> **NOTE**: For now, only Syncthing sharing method is supported to synchronize
-projects files. But in a near future and for restricted configurations, `xds-server`
-will also support "standard" folder sharing (eg. nfs mount points or docker
-volumes).
+[http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/devguides/en/dev/#xcross-development-system-user's-guide](http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/devguides/en/dev/#xcross-development-system-user's-guide)
-> **SEE ALSO**: [xds-exec](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-exec),
-wrappers on `exec` commands that allows you to send commands to `xds-server`
-and for example build your application from command-line or from your favorite
-IDE (such as Netbeans or Visual Studio Code) through `xds-server`.

-## How to run
-
-`xds-server` has been designed to easily compile and debug
-[AGL](https://www.automotivelinux.org/) applications. That's why `xds-server` has
-been integrated into AGL SDK docker container.
-
->**NOTE** For more info about AGL SDK docker container, please refer to
-[AGL SDK Quick Setup](http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/getting_started/en/dev/reference/setup-sdk-environment.html)
-
-### Get the container
-
-Load the pre-build AGL SDK docker image including `xds-server`:
-
-```bash
-seb@laptop ~$ wget -O - http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/XDS/docker/docker_agl_worker-xds-latest.tar.xz | docker load
-```
-
-### List container
-
-You should get `docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:X.Y` image
-
-```bash
-# List image that we just built
-seb@laptop ~$ docker images | grep worker-xds
-
-docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds 3.99.1 786d65b2792c 6 days ago 602MB
-```
-
-### Start xds-server within the container
-
-Use provided script to create a new docker image and start a new container:
-
-```bash
-# Get script
-seb@laptop ~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iotbzh/xds-server/master/scripts/xds-docker-create-container.sh
-
-# Create new XDS worker container
-seb@laptop ~$ bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh
-
-# Check that new container is running
-seb@laptop ~$ docker ps | grep worker-xds
-
-b985d81af40c docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:3.99.1 "/usr/bin/wait_for..." 6 days ago Up 4 hours 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:69->69/udp, 0.0.0.0:10809->10809/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2222->22/tcp agl-xds-seb@laptop-0-seb
-```
-
-This container (ID=0) exposes following ports:
-
-- 8000 : `xds-server` to serve XDS Dashboard
-- 69 : TFTP
-- 2222 : ssh
-
-#### Manually setup docker user id
-
-If you plan to **use path-mapping sharing type for your projects**, you need to have the same user id and group id inside and outside docker. By default user and group name inside docker is set `devel` (id `1664`), use following commands to replace id `1664` with your user/group id:
-```bash
-# Set docker container name to use (usually agl-xds-xxx where xxx is USERNAME@MACHINENAME-IDX-NAME)
-seb@laptop ~$ export CONTAINER_NAME=agl-xds-seb@laptop-0-seb
-
-# First stop xds-server
-seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "systemctl stop xds-server"
-
-# Change user and group id inside docker to match your ids
-seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "usermod -u $(id -u) devel"
-seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "groupmod -g $(id -g) devel"
-
-# Update some files ownership
-seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "chown -R devel:devel /home/devel /tmp/xds*"
-
-# Restart xds-server
-seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "systemctl start xds-server"
-```
-
-## Check if xds-server is running (open XDS Dashboard)
-
-**`xds-server` is automatically started** as a service on container startup.
-
-If the container is running on your localhost, you can access the web interface (what we call the "Dashboard"):
-
-```bash
-seb@laptop ~$ xdg-open http://localhost:8000
-```
-
-If needed you can status / stop / start it manually using following commands:
-
-```bash
-# Log into docker container
-seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost
-
-# Status XDS server:
-devel@docker ~$ sudo systemctl status xds-server.service
-
-# Stop XDS server
-devel@docker ~$ sudo systemctl stop xds-server.service
-
-# Start XDS server
-devel@docker ~$ sudo systemctl start xds-server.service
-
-# Get XDS server logs
-devel@docker ~$ sudo journalctl --unit=xds-server.service --output=cat
-```
-
-### Manually Start XDS server
-
-XDS server is started as a service by Systemd.
-
-```bash
-/lib/systemd/system/xds-server.service
-```
-
-This Systemd service starts a bash script `/opt/AGL/xds/server/xds-server-start.sh`
-
-If you needed you can change default setting by defining specific environment
-variables in `/etc/default/xds-server`.
-For example to control log level, just set LOG_LEVEL env variable knowing that
-supported *level* are: panic, fatal, error, warn, info, debug.
-
-```bash
-seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost
-devel@docker ~$ echo 'LOG_LEVEL=debug' | sudo tee --append /etc/default/xds-server > /dev/null
-devel@docker ~$ sudo systemctl restart xds-server.service
-devel@docker ~$ tail -f /tmp/xds-server/logs/xds-server.log
-```
-
-### Install SDK cross-toolchain
-
-`xds-server` uses cross-toolchain install into directory pointed by `sdkRootDir`
-setting (see configuration section below for more details).
-For now, you need to install manually SDK cross toolchain. There are not embedded
-into docker image by default because the size of these tarballs is too big.
-
-Use provided `install-agl-sdks` script, for example to install SDK for ARM64 and
-Intel corei7-64:
-
-```bash
-seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost
-
-# Install ARM64 SDK (automatic download)
-devel@docker ~$ sudo /opt/AGL/xds/server/xds-utils/install-agl-sdks.sh --arch aarch64
-
-# Install Intel corei7-64 SDK (using an SDK tarball that has been built or downloaded manually)
-devel@docker ~$ sudo /opt/AGL/xds/server/xds-utils/install-agl-sdks.sh --arch corei7-64 --file /tmp/poky-agl-glibc-x86_64-agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-corei7-64-toolchain-
-3.99.1+snapshot.sh
-
-```
-
-### XDS Dashboard
-
-`xds-server` serves a web-application at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
-when XDS server is running on your host. Just replace `localhost` by the host
-name or ip when XDS server is running on another host. So you can now connect
-your browser to this url and use what we call the **XDS dashboard**.
-
-```bash
-xdg-open http://localhost:8000
-```
-
-Then follow instructions provided by this dashboard, knowing that the first time
-you need to download and start `xds-agent` on your local machine.
-
-To download this tool, just click on download icon in dashboard configuration
-page or download one of `xds-agent` released tarball: [https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent/releases](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent/releases).
-
-See also `xds-agent` [README file](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent) for more details.
-
-## Build xds-server from scratch
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Install and setup [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) version 1.7 or
-higher to compile this tool.
-- Install [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
-- Install [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/)
-
-Ubuntu:
-
-```bash
- sudo apt-get install golang npm curl git zip
- sudo npm install -g gulp-cli
-```
-
-openSUSE:
-
-```bash
- sudo zypper install go npm git curl zip
- sudo npm install -g gulp-cli
-```
-
-Don't forget to open new user session after installing the packages.
-
-### Building
-
-#### Native build
-
-Create a GOPATH variable(must be a full path):
-
-```bash
- export GOPATH=$(realpath ~/workspace_go)
-```
-
-Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh` and use delivered Makefile:
-
-```bash
- mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
- git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-server.git
- cd xds-server
- make all
-```
-
-And to install `xds-server` (by default in `/opt/AGL/xds/server`):
-
-```bash
- make install
-```
-
->**NOTE:** Used `DESTDIR` to specify another install directory
->```bash
->make install DESTDIR=$HOME/opt/xds-server
->```
-
-#### XDS docker image
-
-As an alternative to a pre-build image, you can rebuild the container from scratch.
-`xds-server` has been integrated as a flavour of AGL SDK docker image.
-So to rebuild docker image just execute following commands:
-
-```bash
-# Clone docker-worker-generator git repo
-git clone https://git.automotivelinux.org/AGL/docker-worker-generator
-# Start build that will create a docker image
-cd docker-worker-generator
-make build FLAVOUR=xds
-```
-
-### Configuration
-
-`xds-server` configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`config.json`).
-
-Here is the logic to determine which `config.json` file will be used:
-
-1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
-1. `$HOME/.xds-server/config.json` file
-1. `/etc/xds-server/config.json` file
-1. `<xds-server executable dir>/config.json` file
-
-Supported fields in configuration file are (all fields are optional and example
-below corresponds to the default values):
-
-- **httpPort** : HTTP port of client webapp / dashboard
-- **webAppDir** : location of client dashboard (default: webapp/dist)
-- **shareRootDir** : root directory where projects will be copied
-- **logsDir** : directory to store logs (eg. syncthing output)
-- **sdkRootDir** : root directory where cross SDKs are installed
-- **syncthing.binDir** : syncthing binaries directory (default: executable directory)
-- **syncthing.home"** : syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)
-- **syncthing.gui-address** : syncthing gui url (default http://localhost:8384)
-- **syncthing.gui-apikey** : syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated)
-
-```json
-{
- "httpPort": 8000,
- "webAppDir": "webapp/dist",
- "shareRootDir": "${HOME}/.xds-server/projects",
- "logsDir": "/tmp/logs",
- "sdkRootDir": "/xdt/sdk",
- "syncthing": {
- "binDir": "./bin",
- "home": "${HOME}/.xds-server/syncthing-config",
- "gui-address": "http://localhost:8384",
- "gui-apikey": "123456789",
- }
-}
-```
-
->**NOTE:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
