This repository contains the files needed to set up your own Pokémon Showdown server. Note that to set up a server, you'll also need a server computer.
You can use your own computer as a server, but for other people to connect to your computer, you'll need to expose a port (default is 8000 but you can choose a different one) to connect to, by setting up any firewalls you might have to allow that port through to you (this sometimes isn't possible on certain internet connections).
