Joshnet [May 4th Testnet 2023 ; Offline]

OK, so I have one node running from Windows and I just managed to put a small text file. I’m behind something that I would call “a basic normal router thingie”. And it just works.

Next up a node in Ubuntu!

EDIT: Having problems with Ubuntu… Where should I place the safenode -file?
EDIT2: Oh, sorry @southside just told that above. I’m too excited! :rofl:

Sigh… how? Is there not a way to do this via system GUI? Seems not, I just get “access denied” with no way around it. Why it has to be this clumsy…?

learn to love your CLI

sudo cp whatever /usr/local/bin

Maybe I could… it’s just that we see each other so rarely.

Thanks man, node running right now. :beers:

Tried to upload a folder with 4 photos of 7MB-9.5MB, all of them gave;

Storing file "Photo_A_002.jpg" of 7088389 bytes..
Did not store file "Photo_A_002.jpg" to all nodes in the close group! Network Error Outbound Error.

This seems to be a typo:

safe files --peer=/ip4/178.128.166.245/udp/36572/quic-v1/p2p/12D3KooWPuaKwn7rFNn4oj1ABDpikVZ7scHs29ZNCHBveLHgCmak download – testnet.exe 332f45ae9482a8e03b5d5579f15fd9c8806fe4a2b30da2bc6e5ebb9a98fe4095

Gives an error unexpected argument '--peer' found

I think it should be:

safe --peer=/ip4/178.128.166.245/udp/36572/quic-v1/p2p/12D3KooWPuaKwn7rFNn4oj1ABDpikVZ7scHs29ZNCHBveLHgCmak files download – testnet.exe 332f45ae9482a8e03b5d5579f15fd9c8806fe4a2b30da2bc6e5ebb9a98fe4095

I’ve tried three times, no cigar.

It’s soon time for me to call it a day. Should I leave my nodes running?

EDIT: I’ll leave them on for the night. Tomorrow morning I need to shut down the one running on Windows, because I have to work with that machine. Nodes really slow down my machines. Or maybe not machines, maybe just network. Even this forum is pain to use, really sluggish.

Multimedia type files need to be fairly small to work ATM.

If tail keeps stopping as the log expands can also use:
multitail -iw '/tmp/safenode/safenode*.log' 1

I’ve updated vdash to v0.8.2 which should now show PUTs but unfortunately Joshnet doesn’t seem to indicate GETs (from the node itself) in safenode.log. I think they will soon change to disk storage so let’s wait and see if that helps.

To update vdash:

cargo install vdash

I think Joshnet is quite a milestone so Maidsafe :clap:

This is monumental progress team! I’m not even worried that I’m unable to join Joshnet right now, because I know the next testnet, and the one after that will be coming fast a furious now.

You need to be root. So if it’s in Downloads (for example) open a terminal in that folder and use

sudo cp safe /usr/local/bin

Alternatively you can run it from where it is with ./ in front. So:

./safe .......

from the directory where your linux binary is now

sudo cp ./safe /usr/local/bin

sudo will ask for your password. Resistance is futile. Just type your password.

sudo cp /home/scott/Downloads/safe-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/safe /usr/local/bin

will that have worked?

yeah that should do it

Do sudo ls /usr/local/bin, see if it’s there. If so yes that will work. Alternatively safe --version should give some output
