| Summary | 0008940: Getting started instructions are outdated | ||||
| Description | Hi, I wanted to try out Gnunet, so after installing the package I followed the instructions at https://www.gnunet.org/en/use.html. I could not get it working on my machine, or on my friend's arch linux. It seems the tutorial is severely outdated, the gnunet-peerinfo command doesn't exist, and using gnunet-core without arguments complains that it needs arguments. Same thing for the manual at https://docs.gnunet.org/latest/users/start.html. Ignoring these issues, me and my friend couldn't get gnunet to start properly, there's always errors in the logs. I've attached mine. Could it be possible to update the manual? Thanks in advance | ||||

the command you want is not simply gnunet-core --show-connections see also gnunet-core --help gnunet-peerinfo does indeed no longer exist. The websites should be removed and/or migrated to the handbook. I updated the handbook start page. |
|
|
Thanks, the new start page is better. Sorry for the duplicate issue the website showed me an error when I posted so I thought it didn't send. |
|
|
Do you have the equivalent to 'gnunet-peerinfo -gn' and 'gnunet-peerinfo -p' please ? |
|
|
Nope. Those functions do not exist anymore because the service no longer exists. gnunet-peerinfo -s was replaced by gnunet-core --show-identity If you need the functionality, we may be able to design an alterntive that achieves what you need. |
|
|
Ok, thanks for the help. I just wanted to try it to connect directly to some other peer as I'm having issues connecting to the network, I don't think it would have worked anyways since the issues seem to be from TRANSPORT. |
|
|
The functions that are still documented on the home page (we need to fix that asap) may be useful to be honest. But they just dont have a replacement _right now_. To connect two peers you control that are actually reachable, it makes sense to have one set up as a hostlist server and the other connect to that hostlist (see docs for host server/client config). |
