+# LOGAR Linux Server Hub
+
+Standalone compiled executable binary distribution for Linux server environments (`Server.bin`).
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+`Server.bin` is a self-contained, pre-compiled Linux ELF executable that operates as the central coordination and log analysis hub of the LOGAR telemetry architecture.
+
+### Key Architecture & Capabilities
+- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone native Linux ELF binary (`Server.bin`). No Python runtime, pip dependencies, or GnuPG binaries are required on the host system.
+- **Authenticated TCP Ingestion Socket (Port 9443)**: Accepts framed OpenPGP encrypted log batches streamed by edge forwarders (`Linux_Client.bin` and `Win_Client.exe`).
+- **4-Run Temporal Persistence Rule**: Ingested candidate error signatures are evaluated against an episodic threshold. An anomaly must occur across at least 4 distinct client transmission cycles within a sliding 12-hour evaluation window before promotion from transient noise to a `VERIFIED` anomaly.
+- **Embedded Hermes Reporting API (Port 8443)**: Integrated REST API exposing `/api/hermes/report` for external scrapers, SIEM collectors, and alerting dashboards.
+- **Pure-Python OpenPGP Cryptography**: Zero dependency on external `gpg` binaries. Automatically generates RSA-2048 encryption keys and SHA-256 fingerprints on first launch.
+- **State Database**: Tracks anomaly lifecycles, run counters, and machine telemetry in a local SQLite state database (`logar_state.db`).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Initializing & Generating Server Configuration
+
+### Step 1: Automatic First-Run Generation
+When launched without an existing `server_config.json`, `Server.bin` automatically generates:
+1. A fresh OpenPGP RSA-2048 encryption keypair (`private_key` and `public_key`).
+2. A SHA-256 public encryption fingerprint (`server_fingerprint`).
+3. A cryptographically random secret authentication token (`auth_token`).
+4. Default network socket coordinates (TCP 9443, Hermes API 8443).
+
+Run `Server.bin` once to initialize:
+```bash
+./Server.bin
+```
+Output:
+```
+[!] Config 'server_config.json' not found. Initializing first-run configuration...
+[+] Successfully generated new server config and OpenPGP keypair.
+[+] Server Encryption Fingerprint: 375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2
+[+] Saved to: server_config.json
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configuration Fields Reference
+The generated `server_config.json` contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "server_name": "LOGAR-Linux-Hub",
+  "tcp_host": "0.0.0.0",
+  "tcp_port": 9443,
+  "hermes_host": "0.0.0.0",
+  "hermes_port": 8443,
+  "auth_token": "a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890...",
+  "db_path": "logar_state.db",
+  "evaluation_window_hours": 12,
+  "min_persistence_runs": 4,
+  "server_fingerprint": "375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2",
+  "public_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n...",
+  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----\n..."
+}
+```
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `server_name` | `"LOGAR-Linux-Hub"` | Human-readable identifier for this hub instance |
+| `tcp_host` | `"0.0.0.0"` | Network interface to bind for edge client TCP ingestion |
+| `tcp_port` | `9443` | TCP port for incoming edge log batches |
+| `hermes_host` | `"0.0.0.0"` | Network interface to bind for Hermes HTTP API |
+| `hermes_port` | `8443` | HTTP port for the Hermes reporting endpoint |
+| `auth_token` | *(auto-generated)* | Pre-shared secret required in edge client envelopes |
+| `db_path` | `"logar_state.db"` | Path to persistent SQLite issue database |
+| `evaluation_window_hours` | `12` | Sliding temporal window for 4-run rule persistence |
+| `min_persistence_runs` | `4` | Number of distinct runs required to promote to `VERIFIED` |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Generating Client Configuration Bundles
+
+Edge forwarders (`Linux_Client.bin` and `Win_Client.exe`) require a minimal, anonymous configuration bundle containing socket coordinates, the authentication token, and the server's public key (without sensitive server names or private keys).
+
+Run the following command on the server:
+```bash
+./Server.bin --create-client-config --server-host <SERVER_PUBLIC_OR_INTERNAL_IP> --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
+```
+
+- Replace `<SERVER_PUBLIC_OR_INTERNAL_IP>` with the reachable IP or FQDN of your LOGAR server.
+- The output `client_config.json` can be distributed directly to Linux and Windows edge forwarder nodes.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Running Interactively
+
+```bash
+./Server.bin --config /path/to/server_config.json
+```
+
+### Command-Line Arguments
+| Argument | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `--config` | Path to server configuration JSON file (default: `server_config.json`) |

+| `--server-host` | Hostname/IP to embed in the exported client configuration |

+
+---
+
+## 4. Installing as a Systemd Service (Recommended)
+
+Running `Server.bin` as a native systemd background service ensures continuous execution, automatic restart upon reboot or crash, and centralized log management via `journalctl`.
+
+### Step 1: Create Deployment Directory and User
+```bash
+# Create dedicated system group and user
+sudo useradd --system --no-create-home --shell /usr/sbin/nologin logar
+
+# Prepare deployment folder
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/logar-server
+sudo cp Server.bin server_config.json /opt/logar-server/
+sudo chmod +x /opt/logar-server/Server.bin
+sudo chown -R logar:logar /opt/logar-server
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create Systemd Service File
+Create `/etc/systemd/system/logar-server.service`:
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=LOGAR Central Server Hub Service
+After=network-online.target
+Wants=network-online.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=logar
+Group=logar
+WorkingDirectory=/opt/logar-server
+ExecStart=/opt/logar-server/Server.bin --config /opt/logar-server/server_config.json
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=5
+LimitNOFILE=65536
+StandardOutput=journal
+StandardError=journal
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+### Step 3: Enable and Start Service
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now logar-server.service
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Status and Inspect Logs
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status logar-server.service
+
+# Stream live server logs
+sudo journalctl -u logar-server.service -f
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Hermes Reporting API & Integration
+
+The server embeds a high-performance HTTP service on port `8443` providing real-time intelligence on promoted anomalies:
+
+### Fetching Promoted Anomalies
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8443/api/hermes/report | jq .
+```
+
+### Response Schema:
+```json
+[
+  {

+    "sample_message": "kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 1824"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Firewall Configuration
+
+Ensure the following inbound ports are open on your host firewall:
+
+```bash
+# UFW (Ubuntu / Debian)
+sudo ufw allow 9443/tcp comment "LOGAR TCP Log Ingestion"
+sudo ufw allow 8443/tcp comment "LOGAR Hermes Reporting API"
+sudo ufw reload

+# LOGAR Windows Server Hub
+
+Standalone compiled executable distribution for Windows Server environments (`Server.exe`).
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+`Server.exe` is a self-contained, pre-compiled native Windows PE executable that serves as the central log aggregation, temporal persistence analyzer, and reporting hub of the LOGAR infrastructure.
+
+### Key Architecture & Capabilities
+- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone Windows executable (`Server.exe`). No Python installation, pip packages, or GnuPG binaries are required on Windows Server.
+- **Authenticated TCP Ingestion Socket (Port 9443)**: Ingests framed OpenPGP encrypted log batches streamed from edge forwarder nodes (`Win_Client.exe` and `Linux_Client.bin`).
+- **4-Run Temporal Persistence Rule**: Filters transient noise by requiring an issue signature to recur across at least 4 episodic transmission cycles within a rolling 12-hour evaluation window before promotion to `VERIFIED`.
+- **Embedded Hermes Reporting API (Port 8443)**: Integrated REST API exposing `/api/hermes/report` for external dashboards, monitoring agents, and scrapers.
+- **Pure-Python OpenPGP Cryptography**: Automatically generates RSA-2048 encryption keys and a SHA-256 fingerprint on first launch without external dependencies.
+- **State Database**: Stores issue lifecycle records, run counters, and machine telemetry in a local SQLite database (`logar_state.db`).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Initializing & Generating Server Configuration
+
+### Step 1: Automatic First-Run Generation
+When launched without an existing `server_config.json`, `Server.exe` automatically initializes:
+1. An OpenPGP RSA-2048 encryption keypair (`private_key` and `public_key`).
+2. A SHA-256 public encryption fingerprint (`server_fingerprint`).
+3. A cryptographically random secret authentication token (`auth_token`).
+4. Default network socket coordinates (TCP 9443, Hermes API 8443).
+
+Open PowerShell and run:
+```powershell
+.\Server.exe
+```
+Output:
+```
+[!] Config 'server_config.json' not found. Initializing first-run configuration...
+[+] Successfully generated new server config and OpenPGP keypair.
+[+] Server Encryption Fingerprint: 375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2
+[+] Saved to: server_config.json
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configuration Fields Reference
+The generated `server_config.json` contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "server_name": "LOGAR-Windows-Hub",
+  "tcp_host": "0.0.0.0",
+  "tcp_port": 9443,
+  "hermes_host": "0.0.0.0",
+  "hermes_port": 8443,
+  "auth_token": "a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890...",
+  "db_path": "logar_state.db",
+  "evaluation_window_hours": 12,
+  "min_persistence_runs": 4,
+  "server_fingerprint": "375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2",
+  "public_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n...",
+  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----\n..."
+}
+```
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `server_name` | `"LOGAR-Windows-Hub"` | Identifier for this hub instance |
+| `tcp_host` | `"0.0.0.0"` | Network interface to bind for incoming client socket traffic |
+| `tcp_port` | `9443` | TCP port for incoming edge log batches |
+| `hermes_host` | `"0.0.0.0"` | Network interface to bind for Hermes HTTP API |
+| `hermes_port` | `8443` | HTTP port for the Hermes reporting endpoint |
+| `auth_token` | *(auto-generated)* | Pre-shared authentication secret required in client envelopes |
+| `db_path` | `"logar_state.db"` | Path to persistent SQLite issue database |
+| `evaluation_window_hours` | `12` | Rolling evaluation window in hours for 4-run rule |
+| `min_persistence_runs` | `4` | Consecutive runs required to promote an issue to `VERIFIED` |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Generating Client Configuration Bundles
+
+Edge forwarders (`Win_Client.exe` and `Linux_Client.bin`) require an anonymous client configuration bundle that includes the server socket target, authentication token, and encryption public key, without exposing sensitive server names or private keys.
+
+Run the following command on the server:
+```powershell
+.\Server.exe --create-client-config --server-host <SERVER_IP_OR_FQDN> --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
+```
+
+- Replace `<SERVER_IP_OR_FQDN>` with the reachable IP or DNS name of your LOGAR server.
+- Distribute `client_config.json` to client forwarder nodes along with `Win_Client.exe` or `Linux_Client.bin`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Running Interactively
+
+```powershell
+.\Server.exe --config C:\LOGAR-Server\server_config.json
+```
+
+### Command-Line Arguments
+| Argument | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `--config` | Path to server configuration JSON file (default: `server_config.json`) |
+| `--create-client-config` | Exports an anonymous client configuration bundle and exits |
+| `--server-host` | Hostname/IP to embed in the exported client configuration |
+| `--server-port` | Port to embed in the exported client configuration (default: `9443`) |
+| `--client-out` | Destination path for exported client configuration (default: `client_config.json`) |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Installing as a Continuous Windows Service
+
+Because `Server.exe` acts as a continuous server hub (listening for TCP connections and HTTP API queries), it should run persistently in the background.
+
+### Method A: Native Windows Service via NSSM (Recommended)
+[NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager)](https://nssm.cc/) is the industry standard for wrapping standalone executables into formal Windows services managed by `services.msc`.
+
+1. Place `Server.exe` and `server_config.json` in `C:\LOGAR-Server\`.
+2. Open **Elevated PowerShell (Run as Administrator)**:
+   ```powershell
+   # Create deployment folder
+   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\LOGAR-Server" -Force
+   Copy-Item "Server.exe", "server_config.json" -Destination "C:\LOGAR-Server\"
+
+   # Install Windows Service via NSSM
+   nssm.exe install LOGAR_Server "C:\LOGAR-Server\Server.exe" "--config C:\LOGAR-Server\server_config.json"
+   nssm.exe set LOGAR_Server AppDirectory "C:\LOGAR-Server"
+   nssm.exe set LOGAR_Server Description "LOGAR Central Aggregation Hub Service"
+   nssm.exe set LOGAR_Server Start SERVICE_AUTO_START
+   nssm.exe set LOGAR_Server AppStdout "C:\LOGAR-Server\server_out.log"
+   nssm.exe set LOGAR_Server AppStderr "C:\LOGAR-Server\server_err.log"
+
+   # Start the service
+   nssm.exe start LOGAR_Server
+   ```
+3. Verify status in PowerShell:
+   ```powershell
+   Get-Service -Name "LOGAR_Server"
+   ```
+
+### Method B: Windows Task Scheduler (Startup Daemon)
+If third-party service wrappers are restricted by organizational policy, configure a Task Scheduler job triggered at boot under the `SYSTEM` account:
+
+```powershell
+# Action: Launch Server.exe
+$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "C:\LOGAR-Server\Server.exe" `
+                                  -Argument "--config C:\LOGAR-Server\server_config.json" `
+                                  -WorkingDirectory "C:\LOGAR-Server"
+
+# Trigger: At system startup
+$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtStartup
+
+# Settings: Restart on failure, no execution time limit
+$Settings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -AllowStartIfOnBatteries `
+                                       -DontStopIfGoingOnBatteries `
+                                       -StartWhenAvailable `
+                                       -RestartCount 3 `
+                                       -RestartInterval (New-TimeSpan -Minutes 1) `
+                                       -ExecutionTimeLimit ([TimeSpan]::Zero)
+
+# Register task under SYSTEM with highest privileges
+Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Server_Daemon" `
+                       -Action $Action `
+                       -Trigger $Trigger `
+                       -Settings $Settings `
+                       -User "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" `
+                       -RunLevel Highest `
+                       -Description "LOGAR Central Hub Daemon"
+
+# Start the task immediately
+Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Server_Daemon"
+Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Server_Daemon"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Hermes Reporting API & Health Checks
+
+Test the embedded Hermes REST endpoint locally using PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$report = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8443/api/hermes/report" -Method GET
+$report | Format-Table fingerprint, status, consecutive_runs, first_seen, last_seen
+```
+
+### Response Format:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "fingerprint": "win-dc-01.corp.internal:DiskCorruptionDetected",
+    "server": "win-dc-01.corp.internal",
+    "signature": "DiskCorruptionDetected",
+    "consecutive_runs": 4,
+    "first_seen": "2026-09-04T08:15:00Z",
+    "last_seen": "2026-09-04T15:00:00Z",
+    "status": "VERIFIED",
+    "verified": true,
+    "os_type": "windows",
+    "sample_message": "An error was detected on device \\Device\\Harddisk0\\DR0 during a paging operation."
+  }
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Windows Defender Firewall Configuration
+
+Open the necessary inbound firewall ports to allow incoming edge forwarder socket streams and HTTP API queries:
+
+```powershell
+# Allow TCP 9443 for edge log forwarding
+New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "LOGAR TCP Log Ingestion" `
+                    -Direction Inbound `
+                    -LocalPort 9443 `
+                    -Protocol TCP `
+                    -Action Allow
+
+# Allow TCP 8443 for Hermes Reporting REST API
+New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "LOGAR Hermes Reporting API" `
+                    -Direction Inbound `
+                    -LocalPort 8443 `
+                    -Protocol TCP `
+                    -Action Allow
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Uninstallation & Removal
+
+To remove the server service:
+```powershell
+# If installed via NSSM:
+nssm.exe stop LOGAR_Server
+nssm.exe remove LOGAR_Server confirm
+
+# If installed via Task Scheduler:
+Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Server_Daemon" -Confirm:$false
+
+# Clean files
+Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "C:\LOGAR-Server"
+```
