This directory provides a Guile web service incl. the new REST API. It is used in conjunction with the Python web services and (very much) WIP.
+## Run
+
+1. **Navigate to the Web Directory and Start the Server**
+
+Running the web server is documented in [guix script](./web/.guix-shell).
+
+```
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8091/version
+"4.0.0"
+```

GNU Guile allows you to develop against a live running web server using emacs-geiser. To try this fire up the web server from the `web` directory as
```sh
-cd web
-unset GUIX_PROFILE
-. .guix-shell -- guile -L .. --listen=1970 -e main ./webserver.scm 8091
+guix shell --container --network --file=guix.scm -- guile -L . --fresh-auto-compile --listen=1970 -e main web/webserver.scm 8091
```
-Note the leading dot. The .guix-shell is defined in `gn-guile/web` and loads required packages using GNU Guix.
-If you are on Debian you may need to unset GUIX_PROFILE first.
+The `--container` option runs the code in an isolated container, and the `--network` option connects that container's networking to the host to allow you to access the running service.
-Next fire up emacs with `emacs-geiser-guile` and connect to the running web server with `M-x geiser-connect` and the port `1970`. Now you can not only inspect procedures, but also update any prodedure on the live server using `C-M-x` and get updated output from the webserver!
+## Welcome to the world of interactive Lisp programming

+Next fire up emacs with `emacs-geiser-guile` and connect to the running web server with `M-x geiser-connect` and the port `1970`. Now you can not only inspect procedures, but also update any prodedure on the live server using `C-M-x` on code, call and get updated output from the webserver! No need to save/reload files and all that.
+
+Note that you may have to try different versions of guile+emacs to succeed.
