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 $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
28 git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-agent.git
33 And to install xds-agent in /usr/local/bin:
38 > **NOTE**: To cross build for example for Windows, just execute:
50 xds-agent configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`agent-config.json`).
52 Here is the logic to determine which `agent-config.json` file will be used:
53 1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
54 2. `$HOME/.xds/agent-config.json` file
55 3. `<current dir>/agent-config.json` file
56 4. `<xds-agent executable dir>/agent-config.json` file
58 Supported fields in configuration file are:
61 "httpPort": "http port of agent REST interface",
62 "logsDir": "directory to store logs (eg. syncthing output)",
64 "binDir": "syncthing binaries directory (use xds-agent executable dir when not set)",
65 "home": "syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)",
66 "gui-address": "syncthing gui url (default http://localhost:8384)",
67 "gui-apikey": "syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated)"
72 >**NOTE:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
79 # OR if you have install agent
81 /usr/local/bin/xds-agent.sh
84 >**NOTE** you can define some environment variables to setup for example
85 config file `XDS_CONFIGFILE` or change logs level `LOG_LEVEL`.
