HyperPeer

A tool for simply replicating and serving many hyperdb instances.

Why

Many tools are being built that use hyperdb as a replicated data store to power distirubted apps. So far each of these tools has had to re-implement the simple logic for acting as a replicate-only member of the swarm. hyperpeer aims to provide a general purpose solution for participating in any hyperdb based swarm.

Although not a 1-to-1 replacement, hyperpeer aims to replace the following commands:

• $ cabal --seeder
• $ dat sync
• $ hypergit seed

Note, hyperpeer can't currently replicate cabal feeds, as they pass extra, non hyperdb data to peers; This is the first thing I'm aiming to fix

Example usage

$ yarn global add hyperpeer
 
$ hyperpeer add --hyper hypergit://207dbaef657d688ad528573ae66b5a0bede40fcb82e6b91afc44ddd43c84874f
 
$ hyperpeer set --hyper hypergit://207dbaef657d688ad528573ae66b5a0bede40fcb82e6b91afc44ddd43c84874f --name "noffle's hypergit"
 
$ hyperpeer start

Targets:

• add cabal compatability
• fix known bugs / edge cases
• create read only hyperpeer follower
• create write only hyperpeer leader
• create web based UI
