moose-team / peerbot Goto Github PK

would be nice to meet some basic CLI expectations, e.g.

$ peerbot --version
0.1.1
$ peerbot --help
<peerbot CLI usage info goes here>

As of 0.1.1 you need to specify a --channel= arg for each channel you want peerbot to seed, as in

peerbot --channel=cats --channel=friends-ui --channel=dat

This is not ideal! I think a better pattern would be

peerbot --channel=cats,friends-ui,dat

Would be nice for stuff like moose-team/friends#80.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use node-webrtc for the webrtc-swarm to avoid having to use electron-spawn to run the bot?

Example from webrtc-swarm:

var sw = swarm(hub, {
  wrtc: wrtc
})

Or am I missing something crucial?

The local leveldb database often needs to be rebuilt during development. It would be nice to have a command to do so without needing to either clone the repo and develop locally or uninstall and reinstall the module globally. Something like

peerbot rebuild

makes sense to me

This seems to be running fine without globally installed electron-prebuilt & electron-spawn.

Tested on two machines after npm uninstall -g electron-prebuilt electron-spawn.

Other than the undesirable requirement of a large download during the npm install step, this seems to be in working shape.

Wanted to open it up for discussion in case I'm missing something as I know @maxogden had reservations about doing it this way.

edit: this is a bad idea
