Private Networking

This example shows how to set up a private network of libp2p nodes.

Setup

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run

Running the example will cause two nodes with the same swarm key to be started and exchange basic information.

node index.js

Using different keys

This example includes TASK comments that can be used to try the example with different swarm keys. This will allow you to see how nodes will fail to connect if they are on different private networks and try to connect to one another.

To change the swarm key of one of the nodes, look through index.js for comments starting with TASK to indicate where lines are that pertain to changing the swarm key of node 2.

Exploring the repos

Once you've run the example you can take a look at the repos in the ./tmp directory to see how they differ, including the swarm keys. You should see a swarm.key file in each of the repos and when the nodes are on the same private network this contents of the swarm.key files should be the same.
