 Run the server: `python hugvey_server.py --config server_config.yml`
 
+To make sure: don't run the server in a screen subterminal, as the amount of output can clog the server
+
+### Screen commands:
+
+Set scrollbuffer in `~/.screenrc`: as described [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/8760452)
+
+`ctrl+a d`: detach, `ctrl+a esc`: scroll the buffer, `ctrl+a i`: current buffer settings
+
+
+
 ### Panopticon
 
 The server also integrates the _panopticon_, the monitoring & administration interface to Hugvey.
