You need to install the following dependencies:
Before you can start the containers, you first need to build the docker image. As the image need to be named correctly we provided a script for you.
To execute the script simply run ./docker_setup.sh in the project root.
To start the containers we provided a script called start.sh. This script starts one bootstrap node and 49 “regular” nodes. All the regular nodes will run the join procedure with the bootstrap nodes static ID and IP (10.0.0.2).
To execute the startup script run ./start.sh in the project root.
If you whish to change the amount of nodes you can add an argument to script, for example ./start.sh 20 will start 20 nodes.
Running ./start.sh will recompile the source code. To redeploy the container services simply run ./start.sh again. To stop and remove the container services run docker-compose rm -sf bootstrap-node kademlia-node
To run all tests in the project. Navigate to D7024E/src/kademlia/ then run go test -cover.
There are currently 6 commands that can be used to interact with this Kademlia implementation, these are:
Help – Provides information about available command.
Put [string] – Uploads [string] to the Kademlia network, outputs the hash of the uploaded string.
Get [hash] – Outputs object corresponding to the [hash] if the object exists in the network.
Exit – Terminates the node.
Enablelog – Enables logging
Disablelog – Disables logging
All nodes can handle http requests from the internal kademlia network on port 8080. The bootstrap nodes port 8080 is mapped to the host machines port 10000. Requests sent to localhost:10000 will be forwarded to the bootstrap node.
- POST /objects
- Stores the data provided in the request body
- A succesfull call responds with 201 CREATED
- The response contains a header specifying the location of the stored data Location: /objects/{hash}
- The response body is the same as the request body
- GET /objects/{hash}
- If a valid hash key is provided it returns the corresponding value in the response body
{hash} is a hexadecimal value consisting of 40 characters.
