Or MIXTAPE model, or make your own. -``` bash -$ news create -``` - -This would pop up a vim editor for you to write a news article or whatever is text or markdown format with a title. - -Saving the file, will save it locally, add it to IPFS, sign it, pack detached signature with metadata on a JSON object. Then a block will be created packing your GPG public key, the news/add action with the JSON object and a detached signature of this, timestamp and finally an entry for the previous *zblock*. After that (!) we finally write this as a json object, add it to IPFS, sign it and pack a *zblock*. That, is published over our IPNS zchain key. - -Other options... let's try help! - -``` console -$ news help -ak-news-cli --------------- -#TODO -All you need to know is that there are two options available: -help Prints this help message -index Prints an indexed table of your news files -import <file> #TODO -add <file> Creates a data file from the news file you point to -create Vim is going to pop up, you will write and save your - newsletter and it's going to be saved -``` - -Clearly there is a TODO item. Import is not working so avoid it, or fix it. -Add is nice, you can add an already existing file directly. `news` is the second module after `mixtape`. Both modules need refactoring but they work at a level that someone can be productive with these tools. - -### Explore chains ( `enter` ) - -You can view your zchain as a JSON object using `enter`. There are some flags in order to either view other zchains or change the depth of view ( includes or ignores data object and action ). - -``` console -$ enter -h -enter - Crawl an arching kaos chain ------------------------------------ -Usage: - --help, -h Print this help and exit - --chain <ipns-link>, -n <ipns-link> Crawl specified chain - --show-zblocks-only, -z Show only zblocks - --no-verify, -nV Don't verify signatures - <ipfs-link> Specify IPFS CID for entrance - - -Note that combined flags don't work for now -Running with no flags crawls your chain -``` - -Podman (or Docker) ------------------- - -There is a ContainerFile that you can use to build an image which you can then deploy in a container. - -Use: - -``` -podman build -f ContainerFile -t arching-kaos-tools . -``` - -TODO ----- - -Next things to come are: -- zblock manipulator to fix wrong previous block references and repack zblocks. -- zchain rebase-like procedure to move the zblocks to another seed or set another previous block (e.g. join chains) -- Clean up installation and filesystem usage -- Log rotate to gzip archives -- Filters for log searching for IPFS hashes or names -- Use of IPFS file system to store/pin sub chains, previous chains or other chains - -Concepts under thought ----------------------- - -- Base chain, derived from personal ones. -- Daemon to monitor chains' states, update and sign new zblocks. -- Find a minimum agreement of what is valid or not.
