Welcome to Zordon! This is a hobby project written with fellow filmmakers in mind. It's a local network render farm manager, aiming to streamline and simplify the rendering process across multiple home computers.

📦 Installation

Make sure to install the necessary dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

🚀 How to Use

Zordon has two main files: start_server.py and start_client.py.

start_server.py: Run this on any computer you want to render jobs. It manages the incoming job queue and kicks off the appropriate render jobs when ready.
start_client.py: Run this to administer your render servers. It lets you manage and submit jobs.

When the server is running, the job queue can be accessed via a web browser on the server's hostname (default port is 8080). You can also access it via the GUI client or a simple view-only dashboard.
