Koibumi daemon is an experimental Bitmessage client daemon. Note that Koibumi daemon is NOT an official project of The Bitmessage Developers.
Koibumi daemon can connect to the Bitmessage network and relay Bitmessage objects.
Currently, this client is limited to relay only mode. User messages can not be written or read.
Additionaly, network connections are limited to via Tor only. You need a Tor SOCKS5 proxy running at localhost. Although the client can also connect to Clearnet, DNS bootstrapping is not implemented yet.
The objects loaded from the network and
the list of known node addresses are saved on local file system by using SQLite.
Configurations can be loaded from the file saved by the GUI version of Koibumi.
The data directory can be changed by specifying a -d option on the command line.
Koibumi daemon does not have any GUI.
If you need a GUI, use
koibumi instead.
To install the Koibumi Bitmessage client daemon, issue the command:
sh
cargo install koibumi-daemon
Then, run koibumi-daemon command.
This client is experimental and under development,
so many debug logs are printed on the console.
Adding -v option on the command line, more messages are printed.
To stop gracefully, push Ctrl-C on the console and wait for tasks to exit. If you can not wait, push Ctrl-C once more to abort tasks. If they are not aborted, push Ctrl-C yet once more to terminate abruptly.
