otherwise censorship would be possible

Gotcha. (D’oh, should’ve thought that one through) So it is just in the DHT and/or the metadata of the files then…

I don’t really know how the SAFE_DNS system work, but I suspect it’s another StructuredData where the url is converted to a key to the datamap.

I couldn’t get the vaults to run properly until I used “sudo RUST_LOG=info ./safe_vault_linux” in ubuntu 15.04

Now they are running perfect.

Okay great work guys but I seem to be having trouble actually lauching the examples and what not.

[blindsite@localhost SAFE] chmod 755 safe_vault_linux [blindsite@localhost SAFE] RUST_LOG=info ./safe_vault
bash: ./safe_vault: No such file or directory

He forget to add _linux at the end so the real one is:

RUST_LOG=info ./safe_vault_linux

I did not FORGET I was following the instructions. >.<

But in either case I’ll try fixing it.

Also I have a question: If we need to log into safe in order to self authenticate and all that how do we upload files and use the dns examples and all that? Are they just local files for now and therefore not affecting anything? (I.e. the local network idea) Or are we actually creating dns entries or what?

And for that matter how do we access files we’ve created on our network? In short where’s my “safe drive”?

And how do I reassign what my homepage is and all that kind of stuff? So if I create a page for a site and decide to update it how do I reassign the site to go to the updated page?

Not you, at @Ross

The exemple create randomly generated account first.

It’s actually in the local network, you can run vault on multiple computer in the same local network and access the same content.

It’s in the tmp folder somewhere with random subfolder for each vault to prevent collision.
No safe_drive yet.

Not supported with the example. But later it’s the versioned feature that will deal with that.

@BenMS I was absolutely wrong about Maidsafe’s DNS. How this DNS works everything is possible and you never want to look/think about another DNS scheme again (ICANN see clearly now). Boy I’m glad that the idea behind the SAFE Network was loud months ago.

Hey @Ghaunt, are you after my job? Great timing if you are, as I’m still busy laying my floor ;-). Seriously, it’s great to see you and others up to speed and answering questions so soon after you were asking them. This is a great community :smile:

@Blindsite2k that caught me up too. If is still doesn’t work then try using “sudo”

Great work, guys! I got it to work once in the browser. Thereafter, even in the same session, Firefox freezes up for some reason (vaults still running, even tried creating a new site).

No worries though, keep it up! Hope to be playing around with a live network soon :smile:

I second @eblanshey’s issue… Firefox works intermittently… I downloaded firefox fresh on OSx… (I hadn’t used it before SAFE came along)

It worked until I entered a bad site address, after that it just freezes all of the time, good address or bad.

Okay I’m confused.

Can I, and if I can how do I?

  1. Simply make an account on the network (local or otherwise).

  2. Use self encryption.

  3. Upload files, view uploaded files and download uploaded files.

  4. View the files for a website I’ve created used with the dns naming system. I believe you said that one couldn’t? If so then how does one find one’s files or one’s dns name once one is on the network? For instance if one reserves the name www.bob.com but doesn’t register who it’s reserved to then how does one find the location of the files in safe space or claim the reservation once a new update has been issued to allow modifcation of files or even when the network goes live?

You can do this be creating an application yourself that are linked to the safe libraries I guess. There is no example available yet for that. The example_bundles contain self_authentication that you can try. Currently it’s pretty buggy, I have hard time to make it work correctly and doesn’t work all the time. It work well most of the time with 3 vaults only (linux only with sudo) not more no less.

the safe_dns_example create only a random account each time you upload a web site with it and it’s public. It belong to no one except for that random account that is lost forever. Try to upload the same url again it will tell you that it’s already gotten. The url is not saved, I suspect the url is hashed to a key that point to the public datamap and from there you can access to the site publicly.

You can trick the “safe_vault.bootstrap.cache” file from your friend’s computer and set your ip address on it so he can access too to your network and access to the same content. Everything is saved to the vault’s data, chunked and spread over all vault.

It’s the best I can explain, I guess it could be more clear and ordered. I may use incorrect word but the main idea is there.

Has anyone got the vault to run on an ODROID? I keep getting the same error.

odroid@OdroidC1:/media/usb$ ls
lost+found ODROID safe_vault_linux ?Щ?@x?P@8

odroid@OdroidC1:/media/usb$ sudo RUST_LOG=info safe_vault_linux
sudo: unable to resolve host OdroidC1

I don’t know if it’s the same as linux but did you forget “./” at the begin so “sudo RUST_LOG=info ./safe_vault_linux”
