addressbook v2.0.2 - A simple name resolution mechanism for I2P
|
|
|
|
addressbook is a simple implementation of subscribable address books for I2P.
|
|
Addresses are stored in userhosts.txt and a second copy of the address book is
|
|
placed on your eepsite as hosts.txt.
|
|
|
|
subscriptions.txt contains a list of urls to check for new addresses.
|
|
Since the urls are checked in order, and conflicting addresses are not added,
|
|
addressbook.subscriptions can be considered to be ranked in order of trust.
|
|
|
|
The system created by addressbook is similar to the early days of DNS,
|
|
when everyone ran a local name server. The major difference is the lack of
|
|
authority. Name cannot be guaranteed to be globally unique, but in practise
|
|
they probably will be, for a variety of social reasons.

Installation and Usage
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
1. Unzip addressbook-%ver.zip into your i2p directory.
|
|
2. Restart your router.
|
|
|
|
The addressbook daemon will automatically run while the router is up.
|
|
|
|
Aside from the daemon itself, the other elements of the addressbook interface
|
|
are the config.txt, myhosts.txt, and subscriptions.txt files found in the addressbook
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
config.txt is the configuration file for addressbook.
|
|
|
|
myhosts.txt is the addressbook master address book. Addresses placed in this file
|
|
take precidence over those in the router address book and in remote address books.
|
|
If changes are made to this file, they will be reflected in the router address book
|
|
and published address book after the next update. Do not make changes directly to the
|
|
router address book, as they could be lost during an update.
|
|
|
|
subscriptions.txt is the subscription list for addressbook. Each entry is an absolute
|
|
url to a file in hosts.txt format. Since the list is checked in order, url's should be
|
|
listed in order of trust.
