# ferdium-internal-server Internal Ferdium Server used for storing settings/preferences without logging into an external server. ## Differences to ferdium-server - Doesn't contain user management (only one user) - Doesn't require logging in - No recipe creation - Contains `start.js` script to allow starting the server via script - Uses `env.ini` instead of `.env` to stay compatible with Ferdium's build script - Only allows Ferdium clients to connect to the API ## Configuration ferdium-internal-server's configuration is saved inside the `env.ini` file. Besides AdonisJS's settings, `ferdium-internal-server` has the following custom settings: - `CONNECT_WITH_FRANZ` (`true` or `false`, default: `true`): Whether to enable connections to the Franz server. By enabling this option, `ferdium-internal-server` can: - Show the full Franz/Ferdi recipe library instead of only custom recipes - Import Franz/Ferdi accounts ## Importing your Franz/Ferdi account `ferdium-internal-server` allows you to import your full Franz account, including all its settings. To import your Franz/Ferdi account, within Ferdium, click on `Help > Import/Export Configuration Data` which will open the running server page in your browser. You can then login using your Franz account details. `ferdium-internal-server` will create a new user with the same credentials and copy your Franz settings, services and workspaces. ## Note For previous contributors For anyone who has _previously_ setup Ferdium for development, you will need to unregister the `src/internal-server` from being tracked as a git submodule. You can do this by following the steps outlined [here](https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/git/how-to-remove-a-git-submodule.html)
