The procedure outlined in commit f4b06fb is now incorrect. Updated procedure: - A node can opt into relay mode via the "relayModeEnabled":true setting. - From this time onwards, they will ask their peers if they ever receive a file list request that they cannot serve by themselves. - Whenever a peer responds with a file list, it is forwarded on to the originally requesting peer, complete with the peer address of the node that responded. Currently, only the first response is forwarded, but we may later decide to forward all responses. - As well as forwarding, the relay peer keeps track of the peers that report to be holding hashes (these mappings are held for 30 seconds). - The originally requesting peer can then make a request to the relay peer for the data file(s). - The relay peer uses the mapping to forward the request on to another peer, and then forwards the response (i.e. the data file) back to the peer that originally requested the file.
Qortal Data Node
Important
This code is unfinished, and we haven't had the official genesis block for the data chain yet. Therefore it is only possible to use this code if you first create your own test chain. I would highly recommend waiting until the code is in a more complete state before trying to run this.
Build / run
- Requires Java 11. OpenJDK 11 recommended over Java SE.
- Install Maven
- Use Maven to fetch dependencies and build:
mvn clean package - Built JAR should be something like
target/qortal-1.0.jar - Create basic settings.json file:
echo '{}' > settings.json - Run JAR in same working directory as settings.json:
java -jar target/qortal-1.0.jar - Wrap in shell script, add JVM flags, redirection, backgrounding, etc. as necessary.
- Or use supplied example shell script: start.sh
