Libre Voice Note App - Server Setup Guide

1.1 Download and Extract

First, download the server package from the downloads page. Once downloaded, extract the ZIP file to a location of your choice. We recommend using a path without spaces, such as:

1.2 Run the Installer

Navigate to the extracted folder and run the setup.exe file as an administrator. This will install all necessary dependencies and set up the server environment.

The installer will check for the following requirements:

• Python 3.8 or higher
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher
• Required disk space

If any requirements are missing, the installer will guide you through installing them.

1.3 Verify Installation

After installation completes, verify that the server was installed correctly by opening the Voice Note Server Manager from your Start menu or desktop shortcut.

2.1 Basic Configuration

Open the Server Manager and navigate to the "Settings" tab. Here you can configure:

• HTTP Port (default: 80)
• HTTPS Port (default: 443)
• Logging Level
• Storage Location

2.2 User Management

Go to the "Users" tab to create administrator and user accounts. At minimum, create one administrator account that will be used for server management.

3.1 Generate Self-Signed Certificate

For secure communication, the server requires an SSL certificate. You can generate a self-signed certificate using the built-in tool:

1. Go to the "Security" tab in Server Manager
2. Click "Generate New Certificate"
3. Enter your server's IP address or domain name
4. Click "Generate"

3.2 Using Existing Certificates

If you have an existing SSL certificate, you can import it:

2. Click "Import Certificate"
3. Select your certificate files (.crt and .key)
4. Click "Import"

4.1 Select Transcription Model

The server uses OpenAI's Whisper for voice transcription. You can select the model size based on your server's capabilities:

• tiny: Fastest, lowest accuracy, minimal resource usage
• base: Fast with decent accuracy
• small: Good balance of speed and accuracy (recommended)
• medium: High accuracy, moderate resource usage
• large: Highest accuracy, significant resource usage

Go to the "Transcription" tab and select your preferred model.

4.2 Download Model

Click "Download Model" to download the selected Whisper model. This may take some time depending on your internet connection and the model size.

5.1 Server Information

Once your server is configured, you'll need the following information to connect your mobile app:

• Server IP address or domain name
• HTTPS port (default: 443)
• Username and password

You can find your server's IP address in the "Information" tab of the Server Manager.
