Running a standalone server
The “Quinn Standalone Server” application which comes with Quinn allows you to run a Quinn server without participating in the game. This way you can run a server which is open 24/7, with changing clients acting as moderators (or no moderators at all).
The Standalone Server’s interface is rather simplethe current state and number of connected clients is displayed, and a button allows to start and stop the server. The number of clients, if any, is also visible in a red badge on the Standalone Server’s dock icon.
To configure the server, choose Quinn Standalone Server > Preferences…, which opens a window matching the Server tab in Quinn’s preferences window. See the help pages on Quinn’s server preferences for a description of the settings. In particular, you may want to assign a moderator password, so clients can connect with moderator rights. If at any time there is no moderator on the server, all clients can start new games (but not kick other players).
