## Operational concerns
### A note on private repos / registries
To use private image repos, `~/.docker/config.json` needs to be copied to `/var/lib/faasd/.docker/config.json`.

### Upgrading faasd
To upgrade `faasd` either re-create your VM using Terraform, or simply replace the faasd binary with a newer one.
```bash
systemctl stop faasd-provider
systemctl stop faasd
# Replace /usr/local/bin/faasd with the desired release
# Replace /var/lib/faasd/docker-compose.yaml with the matching version for
# that release.
# Remember to keep any custom patches you make such as exposing additional
# ports, or updating timeout values
systemctl start faasd
systemctl start faasd-provider
```
You could also perform this task over SSH, or use a configuration management tool.
> Note: if you are using Caddy or Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates, that you may hit rate-limits for generating new certificates if you do this too often within a given week.

### Workshop
### Training and courses
#### LinuxFoundation training course
The founder of faasd and OpenFaaS has written a training course for the LinuxFoundation which also covers how to use OpenFaaS on Kubernetes. Much of the same concepts can be applied to faasd, and the course is free:
* [Introduction to Serverless on Kubernetes](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-serverless-on-kubernetes)
#### Community workshop
[The OpenFaaS workshop](https://github.com/openfaas/workshop/) is a set of 12 self-paced labs and provides a great starting point for learning the features of openfaas. Not all features will be available or usable with faasd.

* [x] Optionally expose core services from the docker-compose.yaml file, locally or to all adapters.
WIP:
* [ ] Annotation support (PR ready)
* [ ] Hard memory limits for functions (PR ready)
