How to connect to other MuWire nodes
Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2024 5:18 pm
Hello,
MuWire needs to connect to other MuWire nodes in order to be useful. Usually that is done by querying a bootstrap server, but right now there are no such servers running. I plan to start running one in the near future, but until then here is how you can use the following workaround:
0. Make sure you have Java 17 or newer on your machine
1. Download MuWire 0.8.14-beta2.zip from GitHub releases: https://github.com/zlatinb/muwire/relea ... 8.14-beta2
(it is in the "Assets" section)
2. Unzip the zip file. It will create a folder called MuWIre-0.8.13
3. On Linux, launch "MuWire-0.8.13/bin/muwire". On Windows, launch "MuWire-0.8.13\bin\MuWire.bat"
4. MuWire will launch a setup wizard. Go through the steps. If using I2Pd (the C++ router) you need to enable the I2CP interface.
5. When the main MuWire window appear, look at the "Connections" menu in the top left. Select "Import Connections" and choose a file with connections
How to get a file with connections
To find such a file you will need to ask around. FreeFallHeavens and lgillis may be able to provide you with one. I will try to upload such file once I get a hold of one.
Have fun!
