> A geographically sorted list of public peering credentials for joining [Hyperboria](https://hyperboria.net/).
|
|
|
|
[Hyperboria](https://hyperboria.net/) uses [cjdns](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns) to construct an end-to-end-encrypted ipv6 mesh network.
|
|
Connections between nodes are established manually, and traffic is restricted to the resulting social graph.
|
|
|
|
This repository exists for those who don't already know somebody on Hyperboria.
|
|
|
|
## Using credentials
|
|
|
|
First, set up a cjdns node.
|
|
|
|
To connect your node to one of these public peers, follow [the steps in the cjdns README](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/#3-connect-your-node-to-your-friends-node).
|
|
|
|
## Adding your public node's credentials
|
|
|
|
If you've created a public node, and would like to have it listed here, fork the repo, add a keyfile, and submit a PR.
|
|
|
|
### Filepath conventions
|
|
Credentials are sorted geographically, by [continent](https://github.com/hyperboria/docs/blob/master/cjdns/nodeinfo-json.md#regarding-continent-codes), region, and municipality.
|
|
|
|
For example, a node in New York City is listed at `NA/us/newyork`.
|
|
|
|
Region and municipality codes are based on self identification, not any ISO standard.
|
|
An operator might prefer to list their node in Cascadia instead of Washington state.
|
|
For simplicity's sake, we'd prefer that new credentials conform to existing structures.
|
|
|
|
### JSON formatting
|
|
|
|
We have tried to standardize the structure of the actual credential files, as such, they have the strictest requirements of anything in this repository.
|
|
|
|
* Your credentials must be [valid JSON](http://jsonlint.com/).
|
|
* They must contain the necessary fields:
|
|
+ ip/port
|
|
+ password
|
|
+ publicKey
|
|
+ contact (a means of contacting the operator)
|
|
* The following fields are not yet required, but are recommended:
|
|
+ gpg, listing your 16 character pgp fingerprint (all caps, no spaces)
|
|
+ peerName, a human-readable name for the node
|
|
* credentials should be formatted such that:
|
|
- indentation uses four spaces
|
|
- the file ends with a newline character.
|
|
* credentials must use IP:port strings for keys
|
|
- credentials using hostnames will not be accepted
|

"contact":"alice@bob.com",
|
|
"gpg":"FC00FC00FC00FC00",
|
|
"login":"default-login",
|
|
"password":"nq1uhmf06k8c5594jqmpgy26813b81s",

"publicKey":"ssxlh80x0bqjfrnbkm1801xsxyd8zd45jkwn1zhlnccqj4hdqun0.k"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Naming your entry
|
|
|
|
Credential files must end with `.k`.
|
|
Otherwise, you can name your file whatever you want, but for simplicity's sake, avoid characters which will need to be escaped at the command line (or within the javascript api).
|
|
|
|
## Javascript API
|
|
|
|
Peering credentials in this repository can be accessed via a simple Javascript API (using Nodejs).
|
|
|
|
It's available as a module on npm:
|
|
|
|
`npm install hyperboria-peers`
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
```Javascript
|
|
var Peers = require("hyperboria-peers");
|
|
|
|
/* return a list of public peers located in North America */
|
|
Peers.filter(function (creds, path) {
|
|
return path.indexOf('NA') !== -1;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
/* return a list of public keys */
|
|
Peers.map(function (creds, path) {
|
|
return creds[Object.keys(creds)[0]].publicKey;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
/* the underlying data is exposed in a nested json structure */
|
|
console.log(Peers.peers);
|
|
|
|
console.log(Peers.peers.NA.us.california);
|
|
```
