ws-star compared to rendezvous

ws-star:

Spec: https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-websocket-star/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md

Servers are fixed after initialization
Connections are unstable due to memory leaks issues on the server side
All connections must go through the same relay
Supports only one main namespace

Fork of @surma's work here: https://gist.github.com/surma/b2705b6cca29357ebea1c9e6e15684cc

Using browserify + budo.

Build instructions:

Install emscripten and ensure it is in your PATH, available at emcc
Clone this gist
npm install

Transferring your dats from one beaker to another

WARNING 1. If you do this, it MUST be either a transfer or a backup. Don't do this to run your Dats from two different computers. The Dat protocol doesn't support multiple computers running a Dat at the same time (yet) and you WILL corrupt your data.

WARNING 2. This will nuke the data in your new install.

WARNING 3. I havent actually tried this. Good luck!

If you're using Beaker 0.7.x, you'll need to copy part of your Beaker app data, and then your library folder (~/Sites).

low level primitives (in ascending abstraction)

hypercore works with individual posts in an append-only feed
hyperdrive abstracted filestore / works with files
hyperdiscovery create p2p swarms for hypercores, hyperdrives, and hyperdbs
hyperdb key-value database

higher level abstractions

webdb database; basically a document(?) store
dat-node built ontop of hypercore & hyperdrive, abstracts a bunch of stuff; less complex but also less flexible

Using Dat with a github.io domain

My personl site is hosted at hashbase.io (link) so that you can access it via dat and https. My canonical dat url is dat://pfrazee.hashbase.io.

Before I used hashbase I used Github Pages, and today it dawned on me that I can have dat://pfrazee.github.io work too. It's pretty simple if you know the dat dns spec.

All I had to do was add /.well-known/dat to my site (click to view). I put the raw dat URL of my site in that file, along with a TTL.
