Server Configuration:

If you want to use a personal server you need to configure it.

• First of all you have to set a password, which we will then set in the settings of the client, to do so just open configs.json in the server folder and change the value "password" in the category "auth"
• Then you can set aesthetic values such as username, redirect_link and anonymous. Or even the maximum number of images to save, the host port and the color of the Discord embed

Client Configuration

At this point you will have to set the client to use the personal server, after loading the server folder with the configuration executed previously we open the configs.json file in the "data" folder and modify some values.

• The first value to set is "enabled", which will have to be set to true
• The second value is "server_password", and you have to enter the chosen password in the server configuration
• The last important value to change is "server_ip", where you have to put the ip of your server.
