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. Those files are largely self-documenting, so if you want to know what they
|
|
do, just read them. |
