dhtnode - a simple OpenDHT command line node runner.
dhtnode [-h] [-v [-l logfile]
[-L]] [-i [--save-identity file]] [-d]
[-s] [-n network_id] [-p local_port]
[-b bootstrap_host[:port]] [--certificate
file] [--privkey file] [--privkey-password
password] [--proxyserver port] [--proxyclient
server]
Runs an OpenDHT node, with a CLI (default) or as a daemon (with
'-d' or '-s'). Commands available in the interactive shell
are:
h, help Print this help message.
q, quit Quit the program.
log Start/stop printing DHT logs.
Node information:
ll Print basic information and stats about the current node.
ls Print basic information about current searches.
ld Print basic information about currenty stored values on this node.
lr Print the full current routing table of this node
Operations on the DHT:
b ip:port Ping potential node at given IP address/port.
g [key] Get values at [key].
l [key] Listen for value changes at [key].
p [key] [str] Put string value at [key].
s [key] [str] Put string value at [key], signed with our generated
private key.
e [key] [dest] [str] Put string value at [key], encrypted for [dest] with
its public key (if found).
- -h
- Prints some help.
- -v
- Enable the verbose mode (log to stdout/stderr by default)
- -l log_file
- Write log to file instead of stdout/stderr
- -L
- Write log to syslog instead of stdout/stderr
- -i
- Generate cryptographic identity for the node.
- --save-identity
file
- Save generated identity (certificate and private key) to given file
prefix.
- --certificate
file
- Load identity certificate from given file.
- --privkey
file
- Load identity private key from given file.
- --privkey-password
password
- Password to use for private key encryption or decryption (optional).
- -d
- Run the program in daemon mode (will fork in the background).
- -s
- Run the program in service mode (non-forking daemon).
- -D
- Enables multicast automatic local peer discovery.
- -f file
- Specify a file path to persist/load the node state.
- -n network_id
- Specify the network id. This let you connect to distinct networks and
prevents the merge of two different networks (available since OpenDHT
v0.6.1).
- -p local_port
- Use UDP port local_port for the program to bind to.
- -b
bootstrap_host[:port]
- The program needs to be given a node to connect to the network. You use
this option to provide the ip address of that node.
- --proxyserver
local_port
- Run a proxy server bound to this DHT node on HTTP port
local_port
- --proxyclient
server
- Run this DHT node in proxy client mode, and connect to server
