## Usage
### Configuration
Glimpse will create the default configuration file, `config.ini`, in the root of the directory if it does not exist. Configuration relating to web framework, [Jester](https://github.com/dom96/jester), is under the `Server` section. Database configuration is under the `Database` section. Other configuration variables are under `General`.
