# Globalist
|
|
Globalist provides distributed sharing of repositories without the need of central instances (like Microsoft GitHub).
|
|
|
|
This is an attempt to ease the distribution of git repos, to overcome the risk of a central points of failure.
|
|
|
|
Globalist stands for "Global List" and aims at replacing any EtherPads of more than transient value.
|
|
|
|
It is also meant to evolve into an experimental distributed asynchronous wiki facility.
|
|
|
|
Nodes can come and go, and network topology only depends on the peers entries in the nodes' config files. Changes that are merged by one's peers propagate by diffusion.
|
|
|
|
The official repository can be found at https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use Globalist.py `python3` is needed. Either run it from globalist directory with `python3 Globalist.py` or or install it as described below.
|
|
|
|
Per default an open tor ControlPort at 9151 without authentication is expected. You can choose another port with `-C`.
|
|
For a list of option see `--help`.
|
|
|
|
### Create repository
|
|
|
|
Make a new directory and put this in the file ./repo.cfg (when creating a new repository instead of cloning from a peer, the list or indeed the repo.cfg file can remain empty)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[network]
|
|
peers = <comma-separated list of onion domain names, with or without the suffix .onion>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a public repository, no authentication is needed (option -_X_). In case authentication is used, prepend the secret as follows: somebody:secret@peeroniondomainname.onion
|
|
|
|
For each shared repo, Globalist will create one .onion service. Note that it is possible to use either bare repos or not-bare repos.
|
|
|
|
### Clone a repository
|
|
|
|
To clone a bare repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Globalist.py -bc ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pull once from a bare repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Globalist.py -bp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## To install locally

torsocks pip3 install -v -e .
