FAQ
Not yet. Consider this Developer Preview to be a pre-alpha. You can play with it as much as you want, but don't rely exclusively on it for securing all your sensitive digital assets yet.
Trailbot Developer Preview is completely free of charge.
Trailbot encrypts all data, events and settings before sending it though the network by using strong asymmetric cryptography (PGP with 4096 bits RSA keys). You will be the only one holding the keys for decryption and no one will be able to read any of your data—not even us 💣
In addition, all communication between the three Trailbot components (Client, Vault and Watcher) happens through TLS-enabled Secure Web Sockets with HSTS.
The watcher has been designed and optimized for usage in GNU/Linux. It should work flawlessly in Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo, openSUSE, Red Hat and many other popular distributions as long as they have:
- A proper package manager (
apt,yum,pacman). - Support for nodejs > 6.0
-
systemdorupstart
The client can run on GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and virtually any OS with support for nodejs > 5.0 and Electron.
The compatibility of the vault is quite the same as the watcher's.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
No, currently every watcher can only be linked with one client and only one watcher can be installed in one server.
Support for more than one client per watcher may be added in the future.
