Daemon of NextGraph

This repository is in active development at [https://git.nextgraph.org/NextGraph/nextgraph-rs](https://git.nextgraph.org/NextGraph/nextgraph-rs), a Gitea instance. For bug reports, issues, merge requests, and in order to join the dev team, please visit the link above and create an account (you can do so with a github account). The [github repo](https://github.com/nextgraph-org/nextgraph-rs) is just a read-only mirror that does not accept issues.

## NextGraph

> NextGraph brings about the convergence of P2P and Semantic Web technologies, towards a decentralized, secure and privacy-preserving cloud, based on CRDTs.
>
> This open source ecosystem provides solutions for end-users (a platform) and software developers (a framework), wishing to use or create **decentralized** apps featuring: **live collaboration** on rich-text documents, peer to peer communication with **end-to-end encryption**, offline-first, **local-first**, portable and interoperable data, total ownership of data and software, security and privacy. Centered on repositories containing **semantic data** (RDF), **rich text**, and structured data formats like **JSON**, synced between peers belonging to permissioned groups of users, it offers strong eventual consistency, thanks to the use of **CRDTs**. Documents can be linked together, signed, shared securely, queried using the **SPARQL** language and organized into sites and containers.

## Building

See [Build release binaries](../DEV.md#build-release-binaries) in the main README.

## Usage

### For a localhost server: The first start will create an invitation for the admin, so you can create your wallet

```
ngd --save-key -l 1440 --invite-admin --save-config
```

this will give you a link that you should open in your web browser. If there are many links, choose the one that starts with `http://localhost:`.

The computer you use to open the link should have direct access to the ngd server on localhost. In most of the cases, it will work, as you are running ngd on localhost. If you are running ngd in a docker container, then you need to give access to the container to the local network of the host by using `docker run --network="host"`. see more here https://docs.docker.com/network/drivers/host/

Follow the steps on the screen to create your wallet :)

for the next start of ngd :

```
ngd
```

### For a server behind a domain: create the first admin user

The current directory will be used to save all the config, keys and storage data.
If you prefer to change the base directory, use the argument `--base [PATH]` when using `ngd` and/or `ngcli`.

```
ngcli gen-key
ngd -v --save-key -l 1440 -d <SERVER_DOMAIN> --admin <THE_USER_ID_YOU_JUST_CREATED>
// note the server peerID from the logs
```

in another terminal:

```
ngcli --save-key -s 127.0.0.1,1440,<PEER_ID_OF_SERVER> -u <THE_PRIVATE_KEY_OF_THE_USER_YOU_JUST_CREATED> admin add-user <THE_USER_ID_YOU_JUST_CREATED> -a
```

you should see a message `User added successfully`.

to check that the admin user has been created :

```
ngcli --save-key -s 127.0.0.1,1440,<PEER_ID_OF_SERVER> -u <THE_PRIVATE_KEY_OF_THE_USER_YOU_JUST_CREATED> admin list-users -a
```

should return your userId

you can now save the configs of both the server and client

```
ngd -l 1440 -d <SERVER_DOMAIN> --save-config
ngcli -s 127.0.0.1,1440,<PEER_ID_OF_SERVER> -u <THE_PRIVATE_KEY_OF_THE_USER_YOU_JUST_CREATED> --save-config
```
