first, ssh into your pub, and set your self as the pub's master
.

)
# copy your local pubkey.

# ssh into your pub...
ssh yourpub.com
# edit config
nano ~/.ssb/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
