Is it possible to manage sets of darknet nodes through ssh?
That is, can I directly edit the ~/freenet/peers-* and
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-*/0 files, rather than adding and removing peers
through FProxy's dialogs? Am I correct that the freenet daemon reads those
files when starting, and then updates them while running and/or when stopping?
Working with a small darknet, I see that most of the lines for a particular
peer are the same in ~/freenet/peers-* files for all nodes. Some are always
different in different nodes, but they seem to be just historical data:
totalInput
totalOutput
metadata.hadRoutableConnectionCount
metadata.peersLocation
metadata.routableConnectionCheckCount
metadata.timeLastConnected
metadata.timeLastReceivedAck
metadata.timeLastReceivedPacket
metadata.timeLastRoutable
Can I just not include them, when configuring new nodes to peer with other
nodes in my darknet? Or should I set default initial values?
Although the values for "full.sigP256", "full.ark.number", and
"full.physical.udp" for a particular peer are not the same in ~/freenet/peers-*
files in all nodes, they do appear in multiple nodes. Can I use one valid set
of those values when configuring new nodes?
For a particular peer, there is also variability among nodes in the first line
of the "0" files in
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-12345/eb.......................................Mc/.
For example, in some nodes I see:
$ cat
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-12345/eb.......................................Mc/0
Ozj....................Mc/0
peerNoteType=1
privateDarknetComment=Q2........................................Fh
extraPeerDataType=2
End
But in others, I see:
$ cat
~/freenet/extra-peer-data-54321/eb.......................................Mc/0
zj....................Mc/0
peerNoteType=1
privateDarknetComment=Q2........................................Fh
extraPeerDataType=2
End
Can I just use one of those values ("Ozj..." or "zj...") when configuring new
nodes?
