Experiments with Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB).

The idea is to have a disjoint network of SSB, that we can use for experiments without sending out anything over the wider SSB network.

Getting started

• Install nodejs, npm (for npx) and yarn
• Clone this repo
• If you're using nvm run nvm install and nvm use
• yarn to install dependencies
• yarn start to run the server
• Open a new terminal
  • yarn whoami to see your new identity
  • Run commands like npx ssb-server COMMANDS -- --path ./data
    • Sorry this is a headache, please open a PR to make this easier
  • Write your profile like so:
    • npx ssb-server publish -- --type about --about "@PROFILE_ID_FROM_WHOAMI" --name "PROFILE_NAME" --description "PROFILE_DESCRIPTION" --path ./data
  • Accept an invite like so:
    • npx ssb-server invite.accept "INVITE_CODE" -- --path ./data
