1 # XDS - X(cross) Development System Agent
3 XDS-agent is an agent that should run on your local machine when you use XDS.
5 This agent takes care of starting [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) tool to
6 synchronize your projects files from your local machine to build server machine
10 > **SEE ALSO**: [xds-server](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-server), a web server
11 used to remotely cross build applications.
18 - Install and setup [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) version 1.8 or
19 higher to compile this tool.
24 Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh` and use delivered Makefile:
26 mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
27 cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
28 git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent.git
33 And to install xds-agent (by default in `/usr/local/bin`):
38 >**NOTE:** Used `DESTDIR` to specify another install directory
40 >make install DESTDIR=$HOME/opt/xds-agent
45 For example on a Linux machine to cross-build for Windows, just execute:
57 xds-agent configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`agent-config.json`).
59 Here is the logic to determine which `agent-config.json` file will be used:
60 1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
61 2. `$HOME/.xds/agent-config.json` file
62 3. `<current dir>/agent-config.json` file
63 4. `<xds-agent executable dir>/agent-config.json` file
65 Supported fields in configuration file are:
68 "httpPort": "http port of agent REST interface",
69 "logsDir": "directory to store logs (eg. syncthing output)",
71 "binDir": "syncthing binaries directory (use xds-agent executable dir when not set)",
72 "home": "syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)",
73 "gui-address": "syncthing gui url (default http://localhost:8384)",
74 "gui-apikey": "syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated)"
79 >**NOTE:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
86 # OR if you have install agent
88 /usr/local/bin/xds-agent.sh
91 >**NOTE** you can define some environment variables to setup for example
92 config file `XDS_CONFIGFILE` or change logs level `LOG_LEVEL`.
