NebulousLabs / hsd_wrapper

A thin wrapper for the HSD daemon that exposes the `getnameresource` API call as a REST endpoint.

HSD Wrapper

⚠️ This repo has been archived and moved under the new SkynetLabs repo here

This is a thin wrapper for the HSD server. It exposes the /hsd/:name endpoint and maps it to the server's getnameresource RPC call.

The goal of this wrapper is to facilitate the resolution of Handshake domains to Skynet links. Once we've resolved a valid skylink, we redirect the client to it.

Docker image

The wrapper comes with a Docker image for easy execution. The image exposes a number of environment variables:

• HOST and PORT: the host and port on which the wrapper should listen once running. Defaults to localhost:3100.
• PORTAL: the Skynet portal to be used for skylink resolution. Default to https://siasky.net.
• HSD_NETWORK: The Handshake network to be used. Defaults to main.
• HSD_HOST and HSD_PORT: Defines where the wrapper can reach a trusted HSD node. If the HSD node is running on the host machine on which the Docker image is being run, use host.docker.internal in order to make it possible for the wrapper to reach the server from within the container. Defaults to 0.0.0.0:12037.
• HSD_API_KEY: The API key to use for authentication with the HSD node. Defaults to foo.

Example command

On a Mac you can run it like this:

docker run --rm -d \
    -p 3100:3100 \
    -e HSD_HOST="host.docker.internal" \
    --name hsd_wrapper \
    nebulouslabs/hsd_wrapper

On Linux you might need to run with Docker Compose in order for the two containers to be able to share a network and talk to each other. An alternative is to manually get the docker IP by running ip -4 addr show docker0 | grep -Po 'inet \K[\d.]+' and then set the HSD_HOST to that value.
