Server Setup

(Tested on Ubuntu16.04)

1. Configuring MongoDB

	# apt update
	# apt install python3 python3-pip mongodb

	Don't want to use MongoDB?
	modify:
		mod/data_operation.py 
	for a different IO implementation.
	
	There's little need of configuring MongoDB,
	just make sure it's running:
	# systemctl status mongodb

	Wanna configure your MongoDB?
	make sure to change:
		mod/data_operation.py
		(line:11)
	so that there could be connection to the DB.

2. Edit server.py

	line:6	Server ip
	line:7	Server port

3. Los geht! (Running the service)

	$ python3 ./server.py
	In case the system kills your instance,
	run:
	$ nohup python3 ./server.py 2>&1 >> output.log &
	instead.
