@cindex opendht, distributed hash table network service
@cindex dhtproxy, for use with jami
@defvr {Scheme Variable} opendht-service-type
This is the type of the service running a @uref{https://opendht.net,
OpenDHT} node, @command{dhtnode}. The daemon can be used to host your
own proxy service to the distributed hash table (DHT), for example to
connect to with Jami, among other applications.
@quotation Important
When using the OpenDHT proxy server, the IP addresses it ``sees'' from
the clients should be addresses reachable from other peers. In practice
this means that a publicly reachable address is best suited for a proxy
server, outside of your private network. For example, hosting the proxy
server on a IPv4 private local network and exposing it via port
forwarding could work for external peers, but peers local to the proxy
would have their private addresses shared with the external peers,
leading to connectivity problems.
@end quotation
The value of this service is a @code{opendht-configuration} object, as
described below.
@end defvr
@deftp {Data Type} opendht-configuration
This is the data type for the OpenDHT service configuration.
@c The fields documentation has been auto-generated using the
@c configuration->documentation procedure from
@c (gnu services configuration).
Available @code{opendht-configuration} fields are:
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} package opendht
The @code{opendht} package to use.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} boolean peer-discovery?
Whether to enable the multicast local peer discovery mechanism.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} boolean enable-logging?
Whether to enable logging messages to syslog. It is disabled by default
as it is rather verbose.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} boolean debug?
Whether to enable debug-level logging messages. This has no effect if
logging is disabled.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-string bootstrap-host
The node host name that is used to make the first connection to the
network. A specific port value can be provided by appending the
@code{:PORT} suffix. By default, it uses the Jami bootstrap nodes, but
any host can be specified here. It's also possible to disable
bootsrapping by setting this to the @code{'disabled} symbol.
Defaults to @samp{"bootstrap.jami.net:4222"}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-number port
The UDP port to bind to. When set to @code{'disabled}, an available
port is automatically selected.
Defaults to @samp{4222}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-number proxy-server-port
Spawn a proxy server listening on the specified port.
Defaults to @samp{disabled}.
@end deftypevr
@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-number proxy-server-port-tls
Spawn a proxy server listening to TLS connections on the specified port.
Defaults to @samp{disabled}.
@end deftypevr
@end deftp
@cindex Tor
