Yes! We set up [https://demo.farmos.net](https://demo.farmos.net) - but didn’t get very far with it, if I remember correctly. I still think this would be a great place to host a demo! Happy to give logins to any of you if you need one.

Perhaps the `farm_demo` module should provide the area geometries itself too. In addition to assets and logs.

The thought being: someone could install a fresh farmOS instance, and then install this `farm_demo` module to populate it with demo data. We could do exactly this on [https://demo.farmos.net](https://demo.farmos.net), and even perhaps automatically wipe and reinstall it on a daily/weekly basis.

This module would also be useful for automated testing. I can imagine having an integration test for [Field Kit](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-client) or the [Aggregator](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-aggregator) which spins up an instance and installs this module, so that integration tests can be built to use the example content.

The Devel module from Drupal 7 comes with a Devel Generate sub-module, which can be used to generate content automatically. I’ve never used it myself, so I don’t know exactly how it works, but perhaps we should start by exploring that.

And with regard to the upcoming farmOS 2.x development, we can take a look at this module: [Default Content](https://www.drupal.org/project/default_content), which uses JSON files to provide default content. But let’s cross that bridge when we come to it… We will eventually want to have two branches in the `farm_demo` module repository: `7.x-1.x` (for farmOS 1.x based on Drupal 7 using Devel Generate) and `2.x` (for farmOS 2.x based on Drupal 9 using Default Content).
