# XDS - X(cross) Development System Server
-XDS-server is a web server that allows user to remotely cross build applications.
+`xds-server` is a web server that allows user to remotely cross build applications.
The first goal is to provide a multi-platform cross development tool with
near-zero installation.
-The second goals is to keep application sources locally (on user's machine) to
-make it compatible with existing IT policies (e.g. corporate backup or SCM).
+The second goal is to keep application sources locally (on user's machine) to
+make it compatible with existing IT policies (e.g. corporate backup or SCM),
+and let user to continue to work as usual (use his favorite editor,
+keep performance while editing/browsing sources).
-This powerful webserver (written in [Go](https://golang.org)) exposes a REST
-interface over HTTP and also provides a Web dashboard to configure projects and execute only _(for now)_ basics commands.
+## Documentation
-XDS-server also 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.

-> **SEE ALSO**: [xds-make](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-make), a wrapper on `make`
-command that allows you to build your application from command-line through
-xds-server.

-## How to build
-
-### 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/) : `sudo apt install npm`
-- Install [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) : `sudo npm install -g gulp-cli`
-
-
-### Building
-
-Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh` and use delivered Makefile:
-```bash
- mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh
- git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-server.git
- cd xds-server
- make all
-```
-
-And to install xds-server in /usr/local/bin:
-```bash
-make install
-```
-
-## How to run
-
-## Configuration
-
-xds-server configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`config.json`).
-
-Here is the logic to determine which `config.json` file will be used:
-1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json`
-2. `$HOME/.xds/config.json` file
-3. `<current dir>/config.json` file
-4. `<xds-server executable dir>/config.json` file
-
-Supported fields in configuration file are:
-```json
-{
- "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)",
- "home": "syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config)",
- "gui-address": "syncthing gui url (default http://localhost:8384)",
- "gui-apikey": "syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated)"
- }
-}
-```
-
->**NOTE:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax.
-
-## Start-up
-
-Use `xds-start-server.sh` script to start all requested tools
-```bash
-/usr/local/bin/xds-start-server.sh
-```
-
->**NOTE** you can define some environment variables to setup for example
-config file `XDS_CONFFILE` or change logs directory `LOGDIR`.
-See head section of `xds-start-server.sh` file to see all configurable variables.
-
-
-## Debugging
-
-### XDS server architecture
-
-The server part is written in *Go* and web app / dashboard (client part) in
-*Angular2*.

-## TODO:
-- replace makefile by build.go to make Windows build support easier
-- add more tests
-- add more documentation
-- add authentication / login (oauth) + HTTPS
-- enable syncthing user/password + HTTPS
