Layr
Getting Started
To test locally:
sudo yarn global add pm2
yarn install
cd Layr
yarn run start-all
Result:
- This will start and daemonize both a locally-running seed node and a locally running layr node.
- To add more local layr nodes, just initialize multiple nodes in local-start.js, listening on different ports.
Seed node: A seednode is a node that other peers can contact in order to initially join the network. layr node: A layr node is comprised of two parts: the kademlia node and the "bat node". The kademlia node is responsible for addressing file shards and other nodes using the kademlia-based DHT. The bat node is responsible for file transfers between peers.
Note: If CLI is not working, try running yarn link inside Layr's home directory on your machine.
