# Configure your client with the backend

If you would like to use an alternative backend server (The server responsible for saving user data across devices) then you can specify your own URL **without needing to host your own movie-web frontend!**

Changing your backend server will log you out of your account - make sure you have a copy of your 12-word passphrase saved safely in case you need to go back!

1. On movie-web, got to your settings page by click the menu icon at the top right and then `Settings`.
|

1. Scroll down the page to the section named `Connections` where there is a toggle named `Custom server`.
|

1. Enable the `Custom server` toggle and enter your backend URL in the input box named `Custom server URL`.

// EXPLAIN WHY ITS A BAD IDEA, BUT ALSO HOW TO DO IT
|
||||
So that clients can have a more native app-like experience on mobile, movie-web has a function to support Progessive Web Apps (PWA). You can learn more about what a PWA is [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/What_is_a_progressive_web_app).
|
||||
|
||||
In movie-web version 3, PWAs were enabled by default. Unfortunately, PWAs tend to come with caching complications that can be tricky to resolve. That's why we have **disabled** PWAs by default in movie-web version 4. If you are upgrading from version 3, please [read our upgrade guide](../3.client/5.upgrade.md) for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
::alert{type="warning"}
|
||||
Enabling PWAs means that you cannot disable it again - Please only proceed if you know what you are doing!
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
## If you are running movie-web on a hoster such as Vercel
|
||||
If your hosting is building movie-web from the source, you can enable PWAs using environment variables. The full environment variable reference can be found [here](../3.client/3.configuration.md) but for PWAs we are only interested in `VITE_PWA_ENABLED`.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting `VITE_PWA_ENABLED` to `true` will generate a [service worker file](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#service_worker) and a [web app manifest](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#the_web_app_manifest) which enable the website to be installed from a [web browser both on Desktop and on Mobile](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#installation_from_the_web).
|
||||
|
||||
## If you are running movie-web using the .zip files
|
||||
If you are downloading the movie-web `zip` files from our GitHub and installing them on a static website hoster, then all you need to do is to make sure to download the [`movie-web.pwa.zip`](https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/releases/latest/download/movie-web.pwa.zip) file instead of the `movie-web.zip` file!

# Introduction to the client

|

// EXPLAIN WHAT THE CLIENT DOES
|
||||
The client is what the main part of the application, it houses the interface and all of the scraping logic.
|
||||
|
||||
## PWA
|
||||
|
||||
The client can be optionally ran as a PWA. This can be hard to do correctly and really hard to reverse, so it's generally not recommended to do so if you don't have experience hosting PWA's.
|
||||
|
||||
You can read more about it [here](../1.self-hosting/3.about-pwa.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The client has a decent amount of configuration options. You can view them all [here](./3.configuration.md).

// UPGRADE GUIDE HERE
|
||||
## From `3.X` to `4.0.0`
|
||||
|
||||
You will need the latest version of the proxy worker. Redeploy a new worker using [our self-hosting guide](../2.proxy/1.deploy.md).
|
||||
|
||||
After you have the new worker, you will need to [get the new movie-web deployment files](https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/releases/latest). **You CANNOT use the non-PWA version**. To upgrade safely without any complications, you need to update with `movie-web.pwa.zip`, Not the non-PWA version.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, you will **ALWAYS** need to go with the PWA option. You cannot downgrade to non-PWA version without facing many caching complications.
