|

!!! note
|
||||
**You do not need the server to do anything with hydrus! It is only for advanced users to do very specific jobs!** The server is also hacked-together and quite technical. It requires a fair amount of experience with the client and its concepts, and it does not operate on a timescale that works well on a LAN. Only try running your own server once you have a bit of experience synchronising with something like the PTR and you think, 'Hey, I know exactly what that does, and I would like one!'

# You don't want the server
|
||||
The server.exe/server.py is the victim of many a misconception. You don't need to use the server to use Hydrus. The vast majority of features are contained in the client itself so if you're new to Hydrus, just use that.
|
||||
|
||||
The server is only really useful for a few specific cases which will not apply for the vast majority of users.
|
||||
|
||||
## The server
|
||||
The Hydrus server doesn't really work as most people envision a server working. When you sync with a Hydrus server you get everything it has, a complete copy. You can't have it host files which you can then search and selectively retrieve, it's all or nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
## You don't want the server (probably)
|
||||
Do you want to remotely view your files? You don't want the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Do you want to host your files on another computer since your daily driver don't have a lot of storage space? You don't want the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Do you want to use multiple clients and have everything synced between them? You don't want the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Do you want to expose API for Hydrus Web, Hydroid, or some other third-party tool? You don't want the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Do you want to share some files and tags in a small group of friends? You might actually want the server.
|
||||
|
||||
## The options
|
||||
Now, you're not the first person to have any of the above ideas and some of the thinkers even had enough programming know-how to make something for it. Below is a list of some options, see [this page](links.md) for a few more.
