surf_the_web_adrift_fix --------- "ce why do you keep making stupid proxies with zero use case"

Adrift is a fast and modern decentralized web proxy network, utilizing transport over WebRTC.

Clients will invisibly connect to one of several tracking servers to exchange an "offer". From there, it uses NAT traversal to link up with a random exit node also running adrift, without the need to port forward. This lightens the load on individial server hosters and makes the network difficult to effectively block. more information

See a functional demo here

install dependencies and build bare-client-custom

pnpm install
cd bare-client-custom
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd ..

inside the server/ directory, run pnpm install, followed by pnpm start

Inside the frontend/ directory, run pnpm install and then VITE_ADRIFT_DEV=1 VITE_ADRIFT_SINGLEFILE= pnpm dev

git submodule update --init --recursive
pnpm install
cd bare-client-custom
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd ..
cd server/
pnpm install
pnpm dev

git submodule update --init --recursive
pnpm install
cd bare-client-custom
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd ..
cd frontend/
pnpm install
VITE_ADRIFT_DEV=1 VITE_ADRIFT_SINGLEFILE= pnpm dev

As of now, the project relies on at least one central tracking server to keep offers forwarded smoothly. If you have the infrastructure to keep a tracker of your own running 24/7 and want to host one yourself, here's how to.

Create a new firebase project. Enable authentication and a realtime DB. Set these rules in the realtime DB

{
  "rules": {
    "peers":{
    	"$uid": {
        ".read": "$uid === auth.uid",
        ".write": "$uid === auth.uid"
      }
    },
    "swarm": {
      "$id": {
        ".read": true,
        ".write":true,
      }
    }
  }
}

Next, create a service account with all permissions. Download the authentication file and save it to tracker/src/admin-creds.json cd into tracker/, pnpm start, and make sure to choose a port with the PORT environment variable that's accessible from the internet.

Open tracker-list/index.ts, and add a new entry. Name your entry accordingly, copying in the client-side firebase tokens for the firebase field, and putting the domain where your tracker is available in the tracker field. After testing, submit a PR and if we trust you, it will be merged and your tracker will show as an option.
