+- Each component (agent, server, server-e2e, web) has its own Dockerfile and supporting files
 - All containers use Debian 12 base (except web which uses Jetty Alpine)
 - NetXMS packages are pinned to specific versions via `pin-package-version` script
 - Version configuration is centralized in `build.properties`

+## Server E2E Fixture
+
+The `server-e2e` image bundles a disposable SQLite database with seeded test data and the WebAPI enabled on port 8000. It runs on `linux/amd64`.
+
+The following API key is public and intended only for tests against this fixture. It authenticates as the fixture's `admin` user and expires on 2038-01-01 14:35:32 UTC.
