After 5 months of working on this project. I would be glad to announce that we
|
|
have a alpha release. The objective of P2PRC is to create a p2p network where nodes
|
|
can share each others computatination power in a virtualized manner (i.e digital
|
|
ocean where anyone can share resources). In the alpha release the choice of
|
|
virtualization used is docker. The current release will
|
|
support docker. It should be noted that from the next release onwards we will
|
|
not support the docker daemon. We will try to provide backwards compatability
|
|
as much as we can but I have decided to ditch the docker daemon and write
|
|
compatable code from containerd.
|
|
|
|
## Major features
|
|
- IPV4 and IPV6 support: All the nodes can listen to both IPV4 and
|
|
IPV6 addresses. It can be noted that with IPV6 there are minor issues
|
|
detected in certain PC in terms of SSH into a docker container which is
|
|
mostly on the server side.
|
|
|
|
- Hopping mechanism: Since it's a p2p network we have a very simple
|
|
implementation that hops though servers and downloads it's IP tables.
|
|
In our implementation. This contains about imformtaion of other servers
|
|
in the network. This way nodes can automatically learn parts of the
|
|
network. The current implementation uses 3 hops.
|
|
|
|
- Possibility to run any docker container: To satisfy this the server
|
|
must already have the docker container and the must ensure that the
|
|
SSH username is 'master' and password is 'password' in creation of new
|
|
servers. It's not secure but worksout for this version for now.
|
|
|
|
The test network will be avaliable for use from the beta release
|
|
which should come out on the 5th of july 2021. The network will
|
|
consist of 1 node which runs on a paid cloud server as I do not
|
|
keep my machines on 24/7. The node up will help to connect with
|
|
other nodes and the paid cloud server cannot be used to create
|
|
and remove containers.
