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.
