-# Usage
-
-`setup-local-s3.sh [BUCKET_NAME]`:
-- [BUCKET_NAME] is optional, "mybucket" will be used if not specified
-- sets up a k3s instance
-- installs a localstack pod
-- creates http and https routing to localstack via localhost
-- saves the self-signed certificate as ca.crt
-- uses the certificate to initialize a restic repo at `https://k3stesthost/BUCKET_NAME`
-
-Note: In case of not being able to connect to "k3stesthost/health", you might need to ensure that the ingress' ip matches with the required host names: k3stesthost and cloudhost. With `sudo k3s kubectl get ingress` you can view the ingress' ip (e.g. 10.0.2.15), then add a line to file "/etc/hosts" e.g. `10.0.2.15	k3stesthost cloudhost`
-
-`start-k3s.sh`:
-- creates and starts a k3s instance
-
-`k3s-uninstall.sh`:
-- deletes everything k3s related
-
-## Other useful commands
-- `sudo k3s kubectl get pods`
-- `curl k3stesthost/health`
-  expected: `{"services": {"s3": "running"}, "features": {"persistence": "disabled", "initScripts": "initialized"}}` 
-
-#### Requires AWS-CLI
-- create bucket `aws --endpoint-url=http://k3stesthost s3 mb s3://mybucket`
-- list buckets `aws --endpoint-url=http://k3stesthost s3 ls`
-- upload something `aws --endpoint-url=http://k3stesthost s3 cp test.txt s3://mybucket`
-- check files `aws --endpoint-url=http://k3stesthost s3 ls s3://mybucket`
-
-## Run docker locally
-
-
-```
-docker pull docker:19.03.12-dind
-docker run -d --privileged --name integration-test docker:19.03.12-dind
-docker exec integration-test sh -c "apk add bash"
-
-```
-
-Set up docker container integration-test:
-
-```
-docker cp  ../../../../../c4k-nextcloud/ integration-test:/
-docker exec -it integration-test sh
-cd /c4k-nextcloud/src/test/resources/local-integration-test
-./setup-docker.sh
-```
-
-## Deploy nextcloud 
-
-### Requirements
-
-* leiningen (install with: `sudo apt install leiningen` )
-* In the project's root execute: `lein uberjar`
-* Change file "valid-config.edn" according to your settings (e.g. `:fqdn "cloudhost"` and `:restic-repository "s3://k3stesthost:mybucket"`).
-
-### Deploy to k3s
-
-* Create and deploy the k8s yaml:
-`java -jar target/uberjar/c4k-nextcloud-standalone.jar valid-config.edn valid-auth.edn | sudo k3s kubectl apply -f -`
-
-Some of the steps may take some min to be effective, but eventually nextcloud should be available at: https://cloudhost
-
-### Deploy to k3d
-
-k3d is a k3s system which is running inside of a container. To install k3d run `curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/k3d/main/install.sh | bash` or have a look at https://k3d.io/v5.0.3/ .
-
-* Start a k3d cluster to deploy s3, nextcloud and test backup and restore on it: `./setup-local-s3-on-k3d.sh`
-
-Some steps may take a couple of minutes to be effective, but eventually nextcloud should be available at: https://cloudhost
-
-#### Remove k3d cluster
-
-`k3d cluster delete nextcloud`
-
-## Test in local gitlab runner
-
-See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32933174/use-gitlab-ci-to-run-tests-locally
-
-This needs to be done in the project root
-
-`docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always -v $PWD:$PWD -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest`
-
-`docker exec -it -w $PWD gitlab-runner gitlab-runner exec docker nextcloud-integrationtest --docker-privileged --docker-volumes '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'`
