### Improvement steps
- [ ] Outdated GitLab links in README should be replaced
- [ ] A slightly more detailed description of what this project does and how it works should be added at the top of the README
- [ ] The sample configuration could benefit from a short comment that explains what the "server" IP address refers to, to reduce ambiguity
- [ ] The `Pre-commit usage` section (same as in the rest of our projects) should be added to the `Contributing` section of the README
- [ ] Add pre-commit config from rust-project template
