Servers

DFControl is structure as a client-server architecture where the communication happens through a rest-API. This means that on the server-side a small daemon will run that the client will communicate with in order to load, save and submit Jobs. There are three ways to set up a server. To setup a local server, simply call Servers.configure_local and follow the prompt. A Server can also be setup by calling the constructor with a String that signifies the name of the Server, e.g. "localhost", or an ssh string such as "user@domain", which will prompt an interactive setup menu.

Alternatively, for full customization, a Server can be set up by filling out the constructor, and saving it as save(server). A previously saved Server can be loaded again through e.g. Server("localhost") which will retrieve the previously saved configuration.
