peerbot

npm travis

Message seeding utility for friends p2p chat.

Run this on a server to ensure that there will always be a peer available to connect to for a given channel on friends.

Install

  1. Use newest io.js and npm (>= 1.8.1, >= 2.8.3).
  2. Install electron-prebuilt & electron-spawn globally.
  3. Install peerbot globally.
npm install -g peerbot

Usage

peerbot

peerbot always seeds the #friends channel. Pass --channel=mychannel to also seed another channel.

peerbot --channel=cats

You can specify as many channels as you want with multiple --channel flags.

Running on headless Ubuntu

If you're running peerbot on headless Ubuntu, you will need to use xvfb-run to create a virtual display so that Chromium can run:

$ sudo apt-get install xvfb
$ xvfb-run peerbot

Also you may need to apt-get install libgconf-2-4

Build and run peerbot locally

Same requirements as in Install.

git clone [email protected]:moose-team/peerbot.git
cd peerbot
npm install
npm run rebuild-leveldb
npm start
