---

## Building from Source

Requires [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) 1.80+.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ayanchavand/vib.git
cd vib
cargo build --release
./target/release/vib
```

---

## Configuration & Storage

- **Bookmarks Storage**: `~/.config/vib/bookmarks.json`
- **Default Downloads**: Saves to `~/Downloads` or the active working directory.

---

## Troubleshooting

### Device not appearing during send

**Linux Firewall.** LocalSend uses port **53317** (TCP and UDP).

- **UFW**:
  ```bash
  sudo ufw allow 53317/tcp
  sudo ufw allow 53317/udp
  ```
- **FirewallD**:
  ```bash
  sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=53317/tcp --permanent
  sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=53317/udp --permanent
  sudo firewall-cmd --reload
  ```
- **iptables**:
  ```bash
  sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 53317 -j ACCEPT
  sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53317 -j ACCEPT
  ```

**Multiple Network Interfaces.** Docker or Tailscale interfaces may capture multicast traffic. Press `F5` or `r` to rescan subnets and verify devices are on the same local access point.
