+# Backend
+# Central Server (Django)
+
+This is the backend for the Django project.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Open a new terminal and cd into the backend directory:
+    ```bash
+    cd backend
+    ```
+
+2. Create a virtual environment:
+    ```bash
+    python3 -m venv venv
+    ```
+
+3. Activate the virtual environment:
+    - For macOS/Linux:
+      ```bash
+      source venv/bin/activate
+      ```
+    - For Windows:
+      ```bash
+      venv\Scripts\activate
+      ```
+
+4. Install the project dependencies:
+    ```bash
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    ```
+
+### Running the Server
+
+To start the Django server, run the following command:
+```bash
+    python3 manage.py runserver
+```
+
+By default, the server will run on `http://localhost:8000/`.
+
+### Admin Panel
+In order to access the admin panel, you need to create a superuser. To do this, run the following command:
+```bash
+    python3 manage.py createsuperuser
+```
+
+Then, you can access the admin panel by visiting `http://localhost:8000/admin/` and logging in with the superuser credentials.
+
+# Intermediate Proxy Service (Flask)
+
+This is the service which runs on the client side and is responsible for handling the peer to peer connections and file transfers along with getting the IPs of the machine. In order to run this, please do the following:
+
+1. Open a new terminal and cd into the file_peer directory:
+    ```bash
+    cd file_peer
+    ```
+2. Make sure that the venv that we used for the backend service is activated
+
+3. Run the flask server using the following command:
+    ```bash
+    python3 peer_service.py
+    ```
+
+
+
+
+## Further Configurations:
+- You would need to set up the central server with a domain and change the domain within the client code. (It is currently hardcoded with IP.)
+- Make sure all the servers are running within the same network as this solution is featured to be restricted to within a network by design.
