Instructions for first use
Raynos opened this issue · comments
Me and a friend tried to use cabal for private group chat.
We started a cabal with cabal --new and I shared the key it generated and had him connect to it.
We were both in a cabal session with only one user in it.
Are there instructions in how to set up a new cabal key to be used for a private group of friends ?
that's how you would do it @Raynos! i think both of you might have been behind particularly difficult NATs tho.
we just switched to our networking to use hyperswarm which is supposed to alleviate those kind of NAT-related issues, but we're still finding out how things actually behave
most pragmatic solution atm is, if one of your friends has a computer with a well-configured firewall then have them join the cabal e.g. with a headless session using cabal <cabal-key> --seed
cc @noffle if you have different take or suggestion
Right, my laptop is just a home network with a home modem, no ports exposed or anything.
Maybe running a cabal seed on an EC2 or an actual server would aid with this.
closing this for now as this is more related to #171
