-## Setting maintenance mode
-
-Maintenance mode (where folks get a message that the MED is down) happens 
-automatically during indexing. If it needs to be set for some other 
-reason (e.g., the solr is down or something):
-
-* `ssh deployhost exec dromedary-production "bin/dromedary maintenance_mode on"`
-* `ssh deployhost exec dromedary-production "bin/dromedary maintenance_mode off"`

-## Development Quick Start
-
-### SUPER quick start
-
-The steps enumerated and explained below can be run via `bin/setup_dev.sh`.
-
-#### Handy Dandy Aliases (Optional)
-```shell
-alias dc="docker-compose"
-alias dce="dc exec --"
-alias abe="dce app bundle exec"
-```
-### Build application and solr image
-The default is **amd64** architecture a.k.a. Intel
-```shell
-docker-compose build app
-docker-compose build solr
-```
-For Apple Silicon use **arm64** architecture
-```shell
-docker-compose build --build-arg ARCH=arm64 app
-docker-compose build --build-arg ARCH=arm64 solr
-```
-### Login into docker GitHub packages
-```shell
- docker login ghcr.io --username <github-user> --password <personal-access-token>
-```
-### Bring up development environment
-```shell
-docker-compose up -d
-```
-
-
-Verify the application is running http://localhost:3000/
