To get an overview of butterfly features.

Run it as a server

    $ butterfly.server.py --host=myhost --port=57575

The first time it will ask you to generate the certificates (see: here)

Run it with systemd (linux)

Systemd provides a way to automatically activate daemons when needed (socket activation):

    $ cd /etc/systemd/system
    # curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly/master/butterfly.service
    # curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paradoxxxzero/butterfly/master/butterfly.socket
    # systemctl enable butterfly.socket
    # systemctl start butterfly.socket

Don't forget to update the /etc/butterfly/butterfly.conf file with your server options (host, port, shell, ...)
