Hi,
over the weekend I just noticed how difficult it can be to bootstrap a
gnunet node, when no hostlist servers are available. The gnunet.org
site was down (maintainance?) and most of the other hostlists that came
up via Google were outdated or unavailable :(
So to help out in the future, I'm now running my own hostlist server:
http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/gnunet-hostlist/hostlist
Gnunet's contrib/ directory contained a simple CGI script doing the job,
but I wanted something that doesn't require CGI to minimize load on my
server.
So I ended up with a cron-script that runs 4 times an hour, atomically
updating the hostlist file served by apache. The required
scripts+config files and minimum documentation can be found here:
http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/freesvn/trunk/gnunet-hostlist
If anybody is interested in running a similar setup, just try
svn co http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/freesvn/trunk/gnunet-hostlist
sudo make install
That /might/ do the job.
BTW is there any central list of hostlist servers where I can add
myself?
cheers,
David
