+# Vieter
+
+Vieter is a re-implementation of the Pieter project. The goal is to create a
+simple PKGBUILD-based build system, combined with a self-hosted Arch
+repository. This would allow me to periodically re-build AUR packages (or
+PKGBUILDs I created myself), & make sure I never have to compile anything on my
+own systems, making my updates a lot quicker.
+
+## Why V?
+
+I chose [V](https://vlang.io/) as I've been very intrigued by this language for
+a while now. I wanted a fast language that I could code while relaxing, without
+having to exert too much mental effort & V seemed like the right choice for
+that.
+
+## Features
+
+The project will consist of a server-agent model, where one or more builder
+nodes can register with the server. These agents communicate with the Docker
+daemon to start builds, which are then uploaded to the server's repository. The
+server also allows for non-agents to upload packages, as long as they have the
+required secrets. This allows me to also develop non-git packages, such as my
+terminal, & upload them to the servers using CI.
