How to run and how it works?

Build project by running command:

./build.sh

Then run server:

cd build
./server

Now server runs as system daemon on 127.0.0.1:4444.
To start a client run following command in build directory:

./client

Client connects to server, than it's registered by the server.
Server assigns new port for the client and then sends back
an address and port on which application will be hosted.

When server registers two new clients, it starts two Flask applications,
and clients can start using them after opening web browser.
