All matters rust-libp2p! Start discussions, seek guidance, provide feedback.

@raul, we are very curious in contributing to the rust implementation of the libp2p.

We are also exploring internally options to use libp2p as the networking protocol for KIP

It would be a great help if you you could reply to this thread with a bunch of libp2p “essentials” for contributors. Much helpful if you can spend some time on sharing relevant info for our rust developers.

Cheers,
Ganesh

@raul, Yes we found libp2p a great choice for our work and our team is very interested to explore it more.
I hope you would help us.
Thanks,

Hey @0zAND1z and @rahullenkala,

Welcome to the community! :sparkles:

I’d recommend starting with:

  • https://docs.libp2p.io: it’s work in progress but there’s heaps of useful material for beginners and experts alike.
  • https://github.com/libp2p/specs: review the libp2p specs. Also in the middle of an overhaul. Check out the WIP PRs too.
  • See this thread: Where to start to use libp2p, for more resources and instructional material on p2p networking in general.
  • The rustdocs of rust-libp2p are written with love and care; thanks to @tomaka!

Hope that helps!

Hi all
I’ve asked the same as an issue on Github but I’ll ask it here:

I want to create a multi-node, p2p http and websocket “proxy” setup.

As in - there are identical http+ws servers running on some nodes. The proxy should know how to get to the node server in question (using a special URL) and keep the WS connection if need be.

Any examples to this effect or parts to this effect?
