msgstore

Msgstore is a distributed message storage service for the ciphrtxt protocol. Msgstore instances are designed to work in conjunction with ctcd, the cryptocurrency-based token service for ciphrtxt.

Running a msgstore node is relatively straightforward:

  1. Install leveldb

    # for ubuntu 14:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libleveldb1 libleveldb-dev -y

# for ubuntu 16:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libleveldb1v5 libleveldb-dev -y

# for centos:
sudo yum install -y leveldb leveldb-devel 

# for OS X
brew install leveldb

  2. Clone msgstore

    git clone https://github.com/jadeblaquiere/msgstore.git

  3. Install python dependencies (NOTE: msgstore is tested with python 3.5.1 - if your system python is 2.x you should probably use pyenv to set python preference for the local directory)

    sudo pip3 install -r msgstore/requirements.txt

  4. Ensure your network and host are configured to allow incoming connections on ports 7764 (ctcd) and 7754 (msgstore) from your external network hostname/address (which you will need). If you cannot use the standard ports you can override them on the command line (see "python3 ./app.py --help")

  5. (optional)Obtain a Network Access Key (NAK) to support onion routing connecitons

  6. Start msgstore (using the same RPC username and password)

    python3 ./app.py --rpcuser=[USERNAME] --rpcpass=[PASSWORD] --exthost=[EXTERNAL HOSTNAME] --nakpriv=[NAK PRIVATE KEY]

  7. Install and bootstrap your ctcd instance. See ctcd page on github for more information
