Flight View can connect to the AUVSI SUAS Competition Server to upload telemetry, upload targets, download mission data, etc.
The server is released as a Docker image. To run the server, install Docker and then run the following to have the server run in the Docker daemon:
docker run -itd -p 8000:80 --name interop-server auvsisuas/interop-server

The program is divided into two processes: the main and renderer processes.
The main process handles creating the main window and window events, server and client connections to other programs, and managing the database, etc.
The renderer process runs in the Chromium browser and manages the GUI accessible to the user. An IPC connection between the main and renderer process connects the two processes.
