-The XIMERA Project
-==================
+This repo contains a version of the Ximera server.
 
-This 'development' branch of the 'XimeraProject/server' repository is a temporary and adhoc way to keep track of an intermediate solution for upgrading the ximera server.
+# Building a ximeraserver docker image
 
-I might very well never be merged into master/main, e.g. if the Ximera Server would get a major rewrite.
+The Dockerfile adds the current folder to a `baseserver` image that is *very* old, and seems hard to rebuild/update.
 
 
+
+
+# Build of baseserver image
+
+Following hack got a base server, on which the ximeraServer code con be deployed.
+Hopefully, at some point the baseserver will be properly (re-)build, or obsoleted alltogether.
+
+The baseserver image was extracted from a KULeuven ximeraserver by a combination of
+
+* docker export  -o image.tar ximeraserver    # extract full filesystem from 
+* tar -xvf image.tar                          # extract the tar-file in an empty folder
+* remove some big files in usr/local/bin etc
+* move node_modules into usr/var/server.base
+* tar -cvf ../image.1.2.tar .
+* docker import image.1.2.tar baseserver:v1.2
+* docker run -it baseserver:v1.2 /bin/bash
+* docker cp  sources.list `container`/etc/apt/sources/list
+* (inside container) apt install vim strace
+* docker commit `container` baseserver:v1.3
+
+The archive-sources for the baseserver:
+
+```
+deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
+deb-src [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
+deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian/ stretch-backports main
+deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
+deb-src [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
+```

+Don't tell anyone.
