= Anomos Knowledge Base =
[http://anomos.info/ Anomos torrent website]


This web page aims to provide all anomos users step-by-step first-attempt-success recipes.

= 1.0 The Server Part:  Seeding anomos atorrents to the rest of the world =
= 1.0.1 Getting the anomos source code from the anomos.info git repository =

{{{
#!bash
mkdir -p ~/anomos
cd ~/anomos
git clone git://git.anomos.info/git/anomos.git anomos.git
cd anomos.git
git checkout -b testing
git pull origin testing
}}}

NOTE: git status should tell you that you are on the testing branch.
= 1.1 CONVERTING YOUR TRACKER DOMAIN NAME SSL CERTIFICATE FROM .CRT TO .PEM =
Copy your .pem for your tracker domain name(i.e. {{{omac.darktech.org.pem}}}) in the git default_certificates directory <code>/home/loongson/anomos/anomos.git/default_certificates</code>. It's interesting to note when you are running from the anomos.git home directory, it will copy the default certificates to the <code>~/.anomos</code> directory (i.e. <code>/home/loongson/.anomos/crypto/default_certificates.</code>)

It's a two step process to convert from .crt to .pem:

{{{
openssl x509 -in omac.darktech.org.crt -out input.der -outform DER
openssl x509 -in input.der -inform DER -out omac.darktech.org.pem -outform PEM
}}}


N.B.  Please note Anomos needs your SSL Domain Certificate only to facilitate your use of your own domain name as a "TRACKER ANNOUNCE URL" i.e. ({{{https://omac.darktech.org:15000/announce}}}).  If you don't want to use your SSL Domain Certificate, you may use your ip address in the "TRACKER ANNOUNCE URL" i.e. (<code>https://216.66.135.157:15000/announce</code>).

Anomos wants everyone to speak SSL in order to keep prying eyes out, so Anomos only permits SSL TRACKER ANNOUNCE URL's i.e. https://).  There needs to be the letter 's' after the word http.


Also note, Anomos speaks SSL on all the mentioned Anomos ports on the anomos.info page, the standard SIP port and the Bittorrent Ports.  The recipes given below purposefully change these ports to demonstrate how any user may customize all the Anomos ports.

You may not realize this, but if you are running a web server, Anomos' SSL communication does not in any way affect any of your web server's SSL communication because they should be running on different ports.
= 1.2 RUNNING THE ANOMOS TRACKER =
Here are the contents of runtracker.sh:
{{{
#!bash
#!/bin/bash
# Just run this command in a terminal
#./runtracker.sh 

TRACKERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/trackerdata

TRACKERPORT=15000
TRACKERSTATE=$TRACKERDATA/dstateTracker
ANOMOSGITHOME=/home/loongson/anomos/anomos.git
PYTHONBIN=/usr/bin/python2.6

$PYTHONBIN $ANOMOSGITHOME/anontrack.py --dfile $TRACKERSTATE --port $TRACKERPORT --data_dir $TRACKERDATA
}}}

Now just run the tracker:  ./runtracker.sh
= 1.3 CREATING THE ATORRENT =

When you create an atorrent:

 * run:
{{{
cd /home/loongson/anomos.git/
python makeatorrentgui.py
}}}
 * set the tracker URL to something like this {{{https://omac.darktech.org:15000/announce}}}
 * select the file to create the atorrent with. i.e.{{{~/anomos/jamlordsOfZomar.mp3}}}
 * click the "make" button and the gui creates something like this:{{{~/anomos/jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent}}}


= 1.3.1 Atorrent file on your web server =
In order for others to download the actual .atorrent file, you need to make it available on your web server.  You need to copy this .atorrent file into your web server's public_html directories. (i.e. {{{cp blah.atorrent /var/www/public_html/blah.atorrent}}})

= 1.4 RUNNING THE SEEDER =
Here is the shell script for running the seeder {{{seeder.sh}}}:

{{{
#!/bin/bash
#./seeder.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent jamlordsOfZomar.mp3_Seeder
atorrent=$1
identity=$2
SEEDERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/seederdata
SEEDERMINPORT=15001
SEEDERMAXPORT=15200
SEEDERSTATE=$SEEDERDATA/dstateSeeder

ANOMOSGITHOME=/home/loongson/anomos/anomos.git
PYTHONBIN=/usr/bin/python2.6

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "Usage: seeder.sh atorrentfile identity"
exit 0
fi
outfile="`basename $atorrent .atorrent`"

$PYTHONBIN $ANOMOSGITHOME/anondownloadheadless.py $1 --save_as $outfile --identity $identity --minport $SEEDERMINPORT --maxport $SEEDERMAXPORT --data_dir $SEEDERDATA 
}}}

Run the seeder:
{{{./seeder.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent jamlordsOfZomar.mp3_Seeder}}}
= 1.5 RUNNING THE RELAYER =

 * copy the seeder.sh as relayer.sh. i.e. {{{cp seeder.sh relayer.sh}}}
 * run the relayer. {{{./relayer.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.torrent jamlordsOfZomar.mp3_Relayer}}}


= 1.6 RUNNING THE CONSOLE TERMINAL MODE CURSES ANOMOS DOWNLOAD PEER CLIENT =
Here is the code for peer.sh shell script:
{{{
#!/bin/bash
#./peer.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.10.atorrent jlpeer10 jamlordsOfZomar.10.mp3 216.66.142.56

torrent=$1
identity=$2
##outfile="`basename $torrent .torrent`-peer"
outfile=$3

myip=$4
PEERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/peerdata
PEERSTATE=$PEERDATA/dstatePeer
SEEDERMINPORT=15001
SEEDERMAXPORT=15200
ANOMOSGITHOME=/home/loongson/anomos/anomos.git
PYTHONBIN=/usr/bin/python2.6

if [ $# -ne 4 ]; then

echo "Usage: peer.sh torrentfile identity outfile externalip"
exit 0
fi
#python $download $1 --save_as $outfile --identity $identity --minport 6881 --maxport 6889
$PYTHONBIN $ANOMOSGITHOME/anondownloadcurses.py $1 --save_as $outfile --identity $identity --minport $SEEDERMINPORT --maxport $SEEDERMAXPORT --data_dir $PEERDATA --auto_ip 1 --ip $myip
# --dfile $PEERSTATE
}}}

It's necessary to run two instances of the curses mode client in order for others at other ip addresses to access this .atorrent.


 * {{{cp /home/loongson/myWebRoot/public_html/jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.9.atorrent}}}
 * {{{./peer.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.9.atorrent jlpeer9 jamlordsOfZomar.9.mp3 216.66.142.56}}}
 * {{{cp /home/loongson/myWebRoot/public_html/jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.10.atorrent}}}
 * {{{./peer.sh jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.10.atorrent jlpeer10 jamlordsOfZomar.10.mp3 216.66.142.56}}}

= 2.0 The Regular User's Side:  The Client requesting anomos data content =
== 2.1 RUNNING THE ANOMOS DOWNLOAD PEER CLIENT GUI ==
Here is where another machine may use the gui to easily get the contents represented by the .atorrent:

 * {{{cd /home/loongson/anomos/anomos.git}}}
 * {{{python anondownloadgui.py}}}
 * {{{click the menu->view->settings}}}
 * {{{change the port to 15001}}}
 * {{{click ok}}}
 * {{{click file->open->atorrent...}}}
 * {{{select the jamlordsOfZomar.mp3.atorrent and click ok.}}}
 * {{{select the destination file name and click ok.}}}


If you want an example .atorrent, you may wish to get
[http://omac.darktech.org:8080/nmstrntlstr/nmsdownload?filename=wax-line.atorrent http://omac.darktech.org:8080/nmstrntlstr/nmsdownload?filename=wax-line.atorrent]

= 3.0 Troubleshooting =
= 3.1 MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING THE CORRECT VERSION OF PYTHON =

 * {{{alias python=/usr/bin/python2.6}}}
 * Note: the anomos gui does not work with python3.0 at this time
 * the curses version works with python3.0



== 3.2 CLEANING THE ANOMOS DOWNLOAD STATE BEFORE RUNNING ==
When the Anomos Gui seems to be giving you problems, and it doesn't seem to appear, do the following:

* {{{cd /home/loongson/.anomos}}}
* {{{rm ui_config}}}
* {{{rm ui_socket}}}
* {{{rm ui_state}}}
  
== 3.3 CLEANING THE ANOMOS TRACKER STATE BEFORE RUNNING ==

When the anomos tracker seems to be giving you problems:

 * {{{cd /home/loongson/.anomos/trackerdata}}}
 * {{{rm dstateTracker}}}


== 3.4 TRACKER CERTIFICATE TROUBLESHOOTING ==
{{{
In the tracker:
[WARNING ] 20:57:12 (RawServer:193) Error handling accepted connection: tlsv1 alert unknown ca
In the seeder:
[INFO    ] 20:57:12 (Rerequester:213) Making announce to omac.darktech.org

cp /home/loongson/anomos/omac.darktech.org.pem /home/loongson/.anomos/crypto/server-cert.pem 
}}}
= 3.5 Tool Data Directories =
In the scripts, the data directories are different and some problems appeared.
i.e.
{{{TRACKERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/trackerdata
SEEDERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/seederdata

PEERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos/peerdata
}}}

It seems they must point to the same directory in order for things to work.
In the interim, please harmonize the data directories for the different scripts to the same directory name:
~/.anomos
i.e.
{{{
TRACKERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos
SEEDERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos

PEERDATA=/home/loongson/.anomos

= anomos++ =
I'm fiddling with the anomos work to port it to c++ hence the name anomos++.  Slowly but surely, I'm getting to know the gtkmm,glib, gio stuff necessary for getting it done.  If you want to take a peek, here is source file:[http://omac.darktech.org/anomos.cc anomos.cc].

I just discovered gtk 2.18 doesn't support python yet.  Only gtk 2.16 does.
When I downloaded the c/c++ sources below, I assumed that python would be support by the latest builds.  I assumed wrong.

So the steps below only compile/run the c++ stuff with the latest gtk.

Also to change the code page at the msys shell to UNICODE:
chcp 65001[[BR]]
[[BR]]
For sure, we're going to have to have a better ability to see what's going on.[[BR]]
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Build_MSYS
[[BR]]
has the answers, if we rebuild msys and enable tracing when we compile.[[BR]]
Then we can do something like:[[BR]]
strace python anondownloadgui.py blah.atorrent[[BR]]
from the mingw/msys shell.[[BR]]

I noticed that the gtk's pygtk/pygobject/pycairo don't use swig to create the interface.  This implies all the interfacing was hand-modified instead of using hand-modified swig .i files.
I'm curious if there was ever an effort to use swig for doing all the language-independant interfacing for all the scripting languages like java/perl/python/javascript.
The big observation I noticed was that the c++ libs are supported in the latest gtk 2.18 and the python is only supported in the 2.16 gtk libs.  This makes it difficult to get the latest python take advantage of all the latest happenings in the gtk sources although 2.16 is considered more stable.
