-Containerized Treebird FE Build
-========================================
-This git repo contains the files needed to builder a docker containerized setup
-of nekobit's C FCGI based Treebird Front End for Pleroma or other Mastodon compatibles.
-
-## How to build the container image
-The build is divided into two parts to allow you to make custom configuration changes.
-Run the following to prepare the container build configuration.
-
- ./configure_build.sh instance_domain treebird_domain [treebird_fcgi_port (optional)]
-
-options:
-- `instance_domain`: domain of the instance for Treebird FE to connect to (ex: sleepy.cafe)
-- `treebird_domain`: domain you plan serve Treebird on (ex: treebird.mysite.com)
-- `treebird_fcgi_port`: internal FCGI port for your http server to communicate with Treebird
- *DO NOT* set this unless you have a port conflict (default: 4008)
-
-The script will generate a folder named `configs/` containing configuration files you
-can edit further as needed before starting the build. Once ready, run the following:
-
- ./build_container.sh [image_name (optional)] [container_name (optional)]
-
-NOTE: Unless your user is a member of the `docker` group, you will need root for this!
-
-The build _should_ complete without errors and if you run `docker image ls` you should
-see `treebird:latest` (or whatever alt image tag you set in the previous command).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-Various issues I have seen and solutions
-
-### Random Issue I Saw - I
-On older versions of debian you need to install `docker.io` to get docker
-(the container software) rather than docker (some utility for docking widgets in GUIs I think).
-
-### Random Issue I Saw - II
-If the container build fails and you get the following message:
-
- The key(s) in the keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-bullseye-automatic.gpg are ignored as the file is not readable by user '_apt' executing
-
-Try building the container locally or on another system. I saw this when running
-from debian stable VPS. I think it is some kind of permission issue due to kernel
-or docker version differences because the exact same image runs fine on other host distros.
-
-After building elsewhere you can do the following:
-
- docker save treebird:latest -o treebird.dsave
- rsync -avP treebird.dsave name@myserver:~/
- ssh name@myserver
- docker load -i treebird.dsave
-
-### Random Issue I Saw - III
-In the nginx config it handles more than one set of a `fastcgi_param` very poorly
-so if you `include fastcgi.conf` and try to set SCRIPTNAME after, it will fail to
-update it and you will get the usual fastcgi cryptic error.

-IMPORTANT:
-- Ensure that the actual FCGI only runs as an unprivileged user
-
-DESIRABLE:
-- remove all dev tools from the output container image
-- prune any undesired bloat from the image to save space
