ssb-invite

ssb-invite

a simple command to create invites without sshing into a pub.

first, ssh into your pub, and set your self as the pub's master. (this is similar to adding your key to .ssh/authorized_hosts)

# copy your local pubkey.

sbot whoami

# ssh into your pub...

ssh yourpub.com

# edit config

nano ~/.ssh/config

# add the pub key from your local machine.

  "master": "{your pubkey}"

# restart your pub (however you do it...)

now, you can use ssb-invite locally.

It's easiest to set your pub in your local config.

# note, you can also use the start of a `--modern` type invite.

"remotePub": "net:{yourpub.com}:8008~shs:{your_pub's_pubkey}"

npm install -g ssb-invite

# new style
ssb-invite --modern
<newstyle invite code>

# old style
ssb-invite 1
<oldstyle invite code>

room for improvement

if we fixed these things, we could have a pub interface in patchbay.

• no standard way to run pub
• must restart pub after updating config (see 1)
• not evident who owns which pub. setting master should be start of standard pub startup method.
• shouldn't have to manually create multiserver addresses, either
