Holesail is a simple and flexible solution for creating a distributed hash table (DHT) server. It allows you to expose your local port to the network, making it accessible to other nodes.
Before using Holesail, make sure you have Node.js installed on your system. You can download Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Once Node.js is installed, you can install Holesail Server using npm (Node Package Manager):
npm i holesail -g
To start a local Holesail Server, use the following command:
holesail --live port
Replace port with the desired port number you want to expose to the network.
This will give you a seed to connect to, use that to acess this server from anywhere:
holesail --connect SEED --port
Available options:
--live PORT: Create a tunnel on this port
--connect SEED: Connect to a tunnel using the seed generated from --live command
--host ADDRESS: Default address is 127.0.0.1, use it to change address to localhost or other
--port PORT: Use this option with --connect to set a custom port instead of the default port 8989
To start a local Holesail Server on port 8080, use the following command:
holesail --live 8080
