Introduction
------------

This is the server part of the Rainlendar calendar. You only need this
if you are going to use the network distribution of the events. Note
that the server is meant only for single user usage. The main purpose
of it is to synchronize the events between two computers.
There is some additional information in the Rainlendar's documentation
(see the ServerPlugin), which I suggest that you read before trying to
run this server.

IMPORTANT: The protocol is not secure. All the information is send as a
plain text and since there is no authentication anyone can read and
modify your events if they can guess the user ID. So, it is adviced that
you set up your firewall so that it accepts connections from your IP.


Setup
-----
Just run RainlendarServer.exe (or rainlendarserver on Linux) from command
prompt. You need to give the server permission to use the network in your
firewall.

You should try the server synchronization on the local machine first to
see that everything works ok. Start the RainlendarServer.exe from command
prompt and make it to listen the default port 9999. Verify that the server
actually is listening to the port by running netstat -a from another
command prompt (you should see that port 9999 is marked as listening).

After you have the server running start the Rainlendar client (i.e. the
calendar) and enable the ServerPlugin in the Config->Plugins. Go to the
plugin's settings and put localhost in the Address field of the server
settings and number 9999 in the Port field. You can write anything to
the ID field. Then just click Ok to exit from dialogs and the client
should connect to the server. Check the log on both server and client
to verify this.

If you get the connection established on the local machine you can move
the RainlendarServer to a remote machine and start it there. Change the
address field to match the ip of the remote machine and try the
synchronizing again. If the connection cannot be made, you probably have
a firewall on the remote machine that prevents connections to the used
port. In this case you can try to use other ports or open a hole in your
firewall for Rainlendar.

It is also possible that the server locks up sometimes. The server will
in that state just inform that it's busy and cannot serve you at the
moment. If that happens you should just wait a while as the server should
reset itself in couple of minutes automatically (if it doesn't, restart
it manually and write a comprehensive bug-report .


Usage

-d,--daemonize = daemonize server (not available in win32)
-l,--log <folder> = write log to a file instead to console
-f,--filter <filterfile> = use the given file as the ip-filter
-m,--multi = allow multiple instances (only in win32)
-t,--target <folder> = The place where the database files are stored
--install = install as service (only in win32)
--remove = remove service (only in win32)
--start = start service (only in win32)
--stop = stop service (only in win32)
