#### Build snaps by simply pointing a web form to a git tree

Fabrica is a web service to be run on an lxd appliance. It spawns a
web ui that allows you to point to cloneable git trees, initializes
lxd containers and builds snap packages of the provided source trees.

To use fabrica you can use the steps below:

```
 snap install lxd
 sudo lxd init # hit enter for all questions
 snap install fabrica
 snap connect fabrica:lxd lxd:lxd
 snap connect fabrica:mount-observe
 snap connect fabrica:system-observe
 snap connect fabrica:ssh-keys
```

Now fabrica will come up on port 8000.
Point your web browser to <http://localhost:8000> (or to the external IP instead of localhost) and add some git tree to it.

Note that in its current state fabrica only builds snap packages for the used host architecture (i.e. to build armhf or arm64 snaps, you need to use a raspberry Pi4 and install lxd and fabrica on it)

The branches are checked every 5 minutes for new commits. Builds start automatically when a new commit is detected.

Since the service is currently only available via http and also has no authentication management, it is recommended to only use it in in-house setups.
