+# netdata static binary build
+
+To build the static binary 64-bit distribution package, run:
+
+```bash
+$ cd /path/to/netdata.git
+$ ./packaging/makeself/build-x86_64-static.sh
+```
+
+The program will:
+
+1. setup a new docker container with Alpine Linux
+2. install the required alpine packages (the build environment, needed libraries, etc)
+3. download and compile third party apps that are packaged with netdata (`bash`, `curl`, etc)
+4. compile netdata
+
+Once finished, a file named `netdata-vX.X.X-gGITHASH-x86_64-DATE-TIME.run` will be created in the current directory. This is the netdata binary package that can be run to install netdata on any other computer.
+
+---
+
+## building binaries with debug info
+
+To build netdata binaries with debugging / tracing information in them, use:
+
+```bash
+$ cd /path/to/netdata.git
+$ ./packaging/makeself/build-x86_64-static.sh debug
+```
+
+These binaries are not optimized (they are a bit slower), they have certain features disables (like log flood protection), other features enables (like `debug flags`) and are not stripped (the binary files are bigger, since they now include source code tracing information).
+
+#### debugging netdata binaries
+
+Once you have installed a binary package with debugging info, you will need to install `valgrind` and run this command to start netdata:
+
+```bash
+PATH="/opt/netdata/bin:${PATH}" valgrind --undef-value-errors=no /opt/netdata/bin/srv/netdata -D
+```
+
+The above command, will run netdata under `valgrind`. While netdata runs under `valgrind` it will be 10x slower and use a lot more memory.
+
+If netdata crashes, `valgrind` will print a stack trace of the issue. Open a github issue to let us know.
+
+To stop netdata while it runs under `valgrind`, press Control-C on the console.
+
+> If you omit the parameter `--undef-value-errors=no` to valgrind, you will get hundreds of errors about conditional jumps that depend on uninitialized values. This is normal. Valgrind has heuristics to prevent it from printing such errors for system libraries, but for the static netdata binary, all the required libraries are built into netdata. So, valgrind cannot appply its heuristics and prints them.

+Title:          netdata
+Version:        NETDATA_VERSION
+Description:    netdata is a system for distributed real-time performance and health monitoring.
+                It provides unparalleled insights, in real-time, of everything happening on the
+                system it runs (including applications such as web and database servers), using
+                modern interactive web dashboards. netdata is fast and efficient, designed to
+                permanently run on all systems (physical & virtual servers, containers, IoT
+                devices), without disrupting their core function.
+Keywords:       real-time performance and health monitoring

+# Makeself version 2.3.x
+#  by Stephane Peter <megastep@megastep.org>
+#
+# Utility to create self-extracting tar.gz archives.
+# The resulting archive is a file holding the tar.gz archive with
+# a small Shell script stub that uncompresses the archive to a temporary
+# directory and then executes a given script from withing that directory.
+#
+# Makeself home page: http://makeself.io/
+#
+# Version 2.0 is a rewrite of version 1.0 to make the code easier to read and maintain.
+#
+# Version history :
+# - 1.0 : Initial public release
+# - 1.1 : The archive can be passed parameters that will be passed on to
+#         the embedded script, thanks to John C. Quillan
+# - 1.2 : Package distribution, bzip2 compression, more command line options,
+#         support for non-temporary archives. Ideas thanks to Francois Petitjean
+# - 1.3 : More patches from Bjarni R. Einarsson and Francois Petitjean:
+#         Support for no compression (--nocomp), script is no longer mandatory,
+#         automatic launch in an xterm, optional verbose output, and -target
+#         archive option to indicate where to extract the files.
+# - 1.4 : Improved UNIX compatibility (Francois Petitjean)
+#         Automatic integrity checking, support of LSM files (Francois Petitjean)
+# - 1.5 : Many bugfixes. Optionally disable xterm spawning.
+# - 1.5.1 : More bugfixes, added archive options -list and -check.
+# - 1.5.2 : Cosmetic changes to inform the user of what's going on with big
+#           archives (Quake III demo)
+# - 1.5.3 : Check for validity of the DISPLAY variable before launching an xterm.
+#           More verbosity in xterms and check for embedded command's return value.
+#           Bugfix for Debian 2.0 systems that have a different "print" command.
+# - 1.5.4 : Many bugfixes. Print out a message if the extraction failed.
+# - 1.5.5 : More bugfixes. Added support for SETUP_NOCHECK environment variable to
+#           bypass checksum verification of archives.
+# - 1.6.0 : Compute MD5 checksums with the md5sum command (patch from Ryan Gordon)
+# - 2.0   : Brand new rewrite, cleaner architecture, separated header and UNIX ports.
+# - 2.0.1 : Added --copy
+# - 2.1.0 : Allow multiple tarballs to be stored in one archive, and incremental updates.
+#           Added --nochown for archives
+#           Stopped doing redundant checksums when not necesary
+# - 2.1.1 : Work around insane behavior from certain Linux distros with no 'uncompress' command
+#           Cleaned up the code to handle error codes from compress. Simplified the extraction code.
+# - 2.1.2 : Some bug fixes. Use head -n to avoid problems.
+# - 2.1.3 : Bug fixes with command line when spawning terminals.
+#           Added --tar for archives, allowing to give arbitrary arguments to tar on the contents of the archive.
+#           Added --noexec to prevent execution of embedded scripts.
+#           Added --nomd5 and --nocrc to avoid creating checksums in archives.
+#           Added command used to create the archive in --info output.
+#           Run the embedded script through eval.
+# - 2.1.4 : Fixed --info output.
+#           Generate random directory name when extracting files to . to avoid problems. (Jason Trent)
+#           Better handling of errors with wrong permissions for the directory containing the files. (Jason Trent)
+#           Avoid some race conditions (Ludwig Nussel)
+#           Unset the $CDPATH variable to avoid problems if it is set. (Debian)
+#           Better handling of dot files in the archive directory.
+# - 2.1.5 : Made the md5sum detection consistent with the header code.
+#           Check for the presence of the archive directory
+#           Added --encrypt for symmetric encryption through gpg (Eric Windisch)
+#           Added support for the digest command on Solaris 10 for MD5 checksums
+#           Check for available disk space before extracting to the target directory (Andreas Schweitzer)
+#           Allow extraction to run asynchronously (patch by Peter Hatch)
+#           Use file descriptors internally to avoid error messages (patch by Kay Tiong Khoo)
+# - 2.1.6 : Replaced one dot per file progress with a realtime progress percentage and a spining cursor (Guy Baconniere)
+#           Added --noprogress to prevent showing the progress during the decompression (Guy Baconniere)
+#           Added --target dir to allow extracting directly to a target directory (Guy Baconniere)
+# - 2.2.0 : Many bugfixes, updates and contributions from users. Check out the project page on Github for the details.
+# - 2.3.0 : Option to specify packaging date to enable byte-for-byte reproducibility. (Marc Pawlowsky)
