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 in the main README.

Usage

The first start of ngd will create an invitation for the admin, so you can create your wallet

ngd --save-key -l 1440 --save-config

In the logs/output, you will see 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

Using ngcli with the account you just created

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.

PEER_ID_OF_SERVER is displayed when you first start ngd, with a line starting with INFO ngd] PeerId of node:.

THE_PRIVATE_KEY_OF_THE_USER_YOU_JUST_CREATED can be found in the app, after you opened your wallet, click on the logo of NextGraph, and you will see the User Panel. Click on Accounts and you will find the User Private Key.

By example, to list all the admin users :

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