# MiNode
|
|
|
|
[](https://git.bitmessage.org/Bitmessage/MiNode/actions?workflow=test.yml)
|
|
|
|
Python 3 implementation of the Bitmessage protocol. Designed only to route
|
|
objects inside the network.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
- python3 (or pypy3)
|
|
- openssl
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://git.bitmessage.org/lee.miller/MiNode.git
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
cd MiNode
|
|
./start.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is worth noting that the `start.sh` script no longer tries to do a
|
|
`git pull` in order to update to the latest version.
|
|
Is is now done by the `update.sh` script.
|
|
|
|
## Command line
|
|
```
|
|
usage: main.py [-h] [-p PORT] [--host HOST] [--debug] [--data-dir DATA_DIR]
|
|
[--no-incoming] [--no-outgoing] [--no-ip]
|
|
[--trusted-peer TRUSTED_PEER]
|
|
[--connection-limit CONNECTION_LIMIT] [--i2p]
|
|
[--i2p-tunnel-length I2P_TUNNEL_LENGTH]
|
|
[--i2p-sam-host I2P_SAM_HOST] [--i2p-sam-port I2P_SAM_PORT]
|
|
[--i2p-transient]
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-p PORT, --port PORT Port to listen on
|
|
--host HOST Listening host
|
|
--debug Enable debug logging
|
|
--data-dir DATA_DIR Path to data directory
|
|
--no-incoming Do not listen for incoming connections
|
|
--no-outgoing Do not send outgoing connections
|
|
--no-ip Do not use IP network
|
|
--trusted-peer TRUSTED_PEER
|
|
Specify a trusted peer we should connect to
|
|
--connection-limit CONNECTION_LIMIT
|
|
Maximum number of connections
|
|
--i2p Enable I2P support (uses SAMv3)
|
|
--i2p-tunnel-length I2P_TUNNEL_LENGTH
|
|
Length of I2P tunnels
|
|
--i2p-sam-host I2P_SAM_HOST
|
|
Host of I2P SAMv3 bridge
|
|
--i2p-sam-port I2P_SAM_PORT
|
|
Port of I2P SAMv3 bridge
|
|
--i2p-transient Generate new I2P destination on start
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## I2P support
|
|
MiNode has support for connections over I2P network.
|
|
To use it it needs an I2P router with SAMv3 activated
|
|
(both Java I2P and i2pd are supported). Keep in mind that I2P connections
|
|
are slow and full synchronization may take a while.
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
Connect to both IP and I2P networks (SAM bridge on default host and port
|
|
127.0.0.1:7656) and set tunnel length to 3 (default is 2).
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./start.sh --i2p --i2p-tunnel-length 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Connect only to I2P network and listen for IP connections only from local
|
|
machine.
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./start.sh --i2p --no-ip --host 127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./i2p_bridge.sh
|
|
```
|
|
If you add `trustedpeer = 127.0.0.1:8444` to `keys.dat` file in PyBitmessage it
|
|
will allow you to use it anonymously over I2P with MiNode acting as a bridge.
