 # bids-hook
 Tiny CI server to run bids-validator using Gitea webhooks
+
+
+## Deployment
+
+Results are placed in `%(GITEA_CUSTOM)/public/bids-validator/`;
+this folder needs to be writable (and ideally created first and owned)
+by the user running this daemon.
+
+It assumes the URL `%(ROOT_URL)s/static/assets/` loads from
+Gitea's `%(GITEA_CUSTOM)/public/`; it is **not** compatible
+with configuring Gitea's `%(STATIC_URL_PREFIX)` so that
+static files are hosted on a different server or CDN.
