The server port is not asked: it lives in `FASTER_API_URL` (edit it in **Settings**). You can also start the server from the hub's **Start/Stop Backend Servers** menu, or let a conversion start it automatically. If you prefer to install the backend yourself (in your own environment, not the managed venv), the manual steps are below. Either way the hub detects a running server by its port, so a manually-installed backend works once its server is up. To use a server on another machine, set `FASTER_REMOTE_URL` in `app/converter/config.py` to its `host:port` (default `127.0.0.1:8000`) — the hub probes it and offers a `faster-qwen3-tts [remote]` entry — or pass `--api-url` on the CLI. |
