The server will be extended to server multiple applications on a visualization cluster, e.g., for data-center type of vizserving. It therefore is a separate process, handling multiple applications. The process-local-server will eventually also be extended to be more versatile in the context of standalone multi-GPU systems. For now, you probably can use Server::useConfig to load a custom config. I am not sure if this works for multi-node configs, due to the way the server networking is set up. Note that this API might change.
