8088 is also a popular alternative to 8080

I see no reason 8081 thru 8089 cannot be a easy to remember port, and maybe not 8088

Southside · June 14, 2025, 5:12pm

Right Mark - no messing about

Stick Dweb on 8082 and let everyone else work around that.
Dweb looks like becoming fundamental to other apps so be bold and stake your claim

happybeing · June 14, 2025, 5:16pm

I do like it when you boss me around do you like me in these heels?

Southside · June 14, 2025, 5:18pm

No

far too tarty looking.

I have class, why can’t you have some?

dweb v0.8.2

The main reason for this release is to test release builds so folk no longer have to install Rust to get dweb. This is experimental, so not quite ready for everyone but please have a go if you can, and tell me what is wrong, missing, what I need to say in terms of instructions.

Here are the binaries for Windows, Linux and MacOS: Release Testing CI with release v0.8.2 · happybeing/dweb · GitHub

This is my first attempt at cross platform builds so some options are missing and I don’t yet know what is needed. I will have a look at Autonomi’s setup next but there is something now in case you want to play and continue to give feedback.

I don’t know what you (or others) need or are expecting in terms of README and other docs, so feedback will be very welcome if you are tempted.

In other news…

There are some updated / new dweb names for use with dweb open and you can see the full list with dweb list-names to use with that command.

Note: this release is not available using cargo install, to get it you will need to go get the relevant binary using the link above.

ok so iv booted into windows been a while

so I downloaded dweb into a folder in my user folder in windows

changed the name to dweb.exe
opened the folder in terminal
ran with ./dweb.exe serve
opened the folder with dweb in a second terminal
opened atlas with ./dweb.exe open 99e3b8df52814b379e216caf797426071000905a2cd93a9f5e90eef2b32517a9ec1ef0bfe27d79360014fd97639ac612

now I have atlas on windows & crome browser

is there any easy way to set a wallet private key when you start dweb serve ?
as im not seeing my account with all the links

happybeing · June 15, 2025, 12:48pm

OMFG that’s amazing - untested code running and doing what it should. Never happens!

Thank you @aatonnomicc very much

You want it easy mmm. Well two things would be great to test but I don’t promise easy:

install ant-cli and then import your key into its wallet
delete that and set SECRET_KEY to see if that works, and report which shell and what the command is (ex SK obvs )

And if you are feeling really brave, please try publishing from Windows as none of this has been tested there.

I’m just gobsmacked it works on Windows with zero testing. I’m sure there will be bugs but Rust is doing a hell of a lot of work there, not me!

aatonnomicc · June 15, 2025, 12:53pm

just checked @safemedia s game boy page is working straight off the bat with no wallet

yea ill have a go at publishing ill try for today but it may be by tomorrow before I get a chance.

your the star here I just felt things get a lot closer for being able to show people stuff with a click click

happybeing · June 15, 2025, 1:00pm

Yeh, next step would be installers to get the stuff without extra fiddling but that may have to wait.

When you get the chance it would be cool if you can you write some step by step instructions for Windows that I can put in the README and the OP here.

Thanks - yet again - for jumping in trying this. I’m still gobsmacked that it just works.

KafkaLee · June 15, 2025, 1:37pm

Yaaaaay!!!

aatonnomicc · June 15, 2025, 2:04pm

BOOM

you can set your wallet private key in power shell before doing dweb serve by doing

$env:SECRET_KEY="<wallet private key>"

publishing attempt next on the list

safemedia · June 15, 2025, 2:22pm

Just wait until people start uploading entire collections of ROMs and sharing the link on the different ROM communities

aatonnomicc · June 15, 2025, 3:31pm

so possibly its my website template that’s the issue ?

DavidMc0 · June 15, 2025, 3:39pm

I copied these instructions, which I needed as I wouldn’t have known how to start dweb server, or how to open Atlas without them.

It worked first time for me too & Atlas loads up in Brave browser on Windows

It looks just like it did for aatonnomicc, so says it fails to connect to Autonomi network (despite loading from it) & nothing loads… but that may be expected - I’ll check out the Atlas thread to see what I can do with it

My complaining has never been more productive and has led me to not have to install rust to dabble with this

Each step that makes it easier to use will be a lower barrier to adoption, so great work on this @happybeing!

aatonnomicc · June 15, 2025, 3:46pm

you wont see anything in Atlas till you follow people so to do that.

get the private key from meta mask for a wallet with a small amount of eth and ant
before you start dweb serve export the wallet private key with $env:SECRET_KEY="<YOUR PRIVATE KEY>"
then do ./dweb.exe serve
then open atlas and you should be able to go to your profile and add people to follow and add
add aautonnomicc on b5afa72021a5523a901e0de6c8e60da4dadbbb0cac4334c9415b81c366e255c222fbfcda3af67f756b1fef83f5ffedee

then you should see some links iv posted

happybeing · June 15, 2025, 3:47pm

Absolutely not, this is a bug probably in the data pushed to Autonomi so I shall investigate. Should be an easy fix

@DavidMc0 thanks for trying it out and reporting what happens. I’ll get better instructions in place to simplify this but feel free to help me spell things out because I may not do that so well for everyone.

aatonnomicc · June 15, 2025, 3:52pm

Pretty impressed and I didn’t install antup or antctl.
All that was needed was export the wallet private key before running dweb.

So all someone needs is a metamask wallet and dewb.exe and they are ready to play

When you want more testing I’ll keep that template handy for updating to see if it fixes it when you find the bug

Excellent work @happybeing very happy I decided to boot up windows today

DavidMc0 · June 15, 2025, 3:57pm

Great. I haven’t done the private key thing yet, which I’ll need to do before posting anything, but great to now be following you legends and playing with stuff on the network, on windows, with only dweb.exe + following simple instructions
