## Quick Start
1. Download `chatserver.exe` and the OwnCord installer from
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/J3vb/OwnCord/releases)
2. Run `chatserver.exe` — generates `config.yaml` and a `data/`
directory (database, TLS certs, uploads, backups) on first run
3. Open `https://localhost:8443/admin` to create the Owner account
4. Generate an invite code in the admin panel and share it
5. Friends install the client, enter your server address
(`ip:8443`), and register with the invite code
> Note: You should locate your active IPv4 via `ipconfig` for Win or `ip a` for Linux, since OwnCord server runs on `0.0.0.0`.

> Example: 192.168.1.2:8443
The client uses TOFU (Trust On First Use) for self-signed
certificates — it prompts to trust the server on first
connection, then pins it for future sessions.
