There are many attempts to extract devtools out of blink source, most of them target a particular version of devtools (checked out at particular version of blink). They don't seem to be backward compatible and often a particular version of devtools gives error when using remote debugging for multiple devices (features like Resources/Audit/Profiling).

On exploring a bit more I see that the remote debugging URL that gets constructed has a `serve_rev` param which specifies the blink version, its same on chrome://inspect and for the application deployed on chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com   example: /serve_rev/@174108 

So to tackle this issue I am trying to deploy the complete devtools application instead of just serving the front_end for a particular version, (I hope that's the right direction).

Can someone kindly point me to resources on how to deploy the application either on appspot or a personal server, such that when I pass the `serve_rev` param I get the correct version of devtools and it supports debugging for multiple devices.

*multiple devices = different versions of chrome for android.

Thanks In Advance !
