beaker browser

Beaker is an experimental Browser. It adds new technologies for Peer-to-Peer applications while staying compatible with the rest of the Web. Visit the website.

Please feel free to open usability issues. Join us at #beakerbrowser on Freenode.

Documentation

• Beaker Docs

Env Vars

• DEBUG: which log systems to output? A comma-separated string. Can be beaker, dat, ipfs, bittorrent-dht, dns-discovery, hypercore-protocol. Specify * for all.
• beaker_user_data_path: override the user-data path, therefore changing where data is read/written. Useful for testing.
• beaker_dat_quota_default_bytes_allowed: override the default max-quota for bytes allowed to be written by a dat site. Useful for testing.

Running the tests

Tests use their own package.json:

cd tests
npm install

To run:

cd tests
npm test

Building from source

Requires node 6.2.1. In linux (possibly also OSX) you need libtool, m4, and automake.

sudo apt-get install libtool m4 automake

To build:

git clone https://github.com/pfrazee/beaker.git
cd beaker
npm install
npm run rebuild #see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5851
npm start

If you pull latest from the repo and get weird module errors, do:

npm run burnthemall

This invokes the mad king, who will torch your node_modules, and do the full install/rebuild process for you. npm start should work afterwards.

If you're doing development, npm run watch to have assets build automatically.

Known issues

tmux

Launching from tmux is known to cause issues with GUI apps in MacOS. On Beaker, it may cause the application to hang during startup.
