一个基于nodejs的社交网站程序-vole

 Vole is a social, peer-to-peer web app for sharing words, pictures and videos.

Vole is a web application for sharing words, pictures and videos with others. Data is distributed peer-to-peer using Bittorrent Sync.

• A complete introduction is available on vole.cc.
• Please join the mailing list for announcements and development discussion.
• Follow us on Twitter @volecc.

Getting started

Currently we are pre-release. The following steps are for interested developers.

• Download the latest version of Vole for Mac OSX, Windows or Linux.
• Or, you can compile it yourself. See CONTRIBUTING.
• Run the Vole application from the command line. First, cd into the directory that you placed Vole. Then, on Mac/Linux type ./vole, and on Windows type vole.exe.
• Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:6789.
• Click 'My Profile'
• Enter your name. Enter your Gravatar email (optional).
• Click 'Home'
• Post something. Vole supports Github flavored markdown, and will also auto-embed any image links you put in the text.

Sharing and following

Start by installing Bittorrent Sync.
Following and sharing currently involves manually setting up folders, however we'd like to automate it as soon as Bittorrent Sync releases a build that supports control via an API.

Following others

• Grab the read-only ID of the person you want to follow. A directory is in progress at vole.cc. Why not start with Vole Team updates? Our key is RA32XLBBHXMWMECGJAJSJMMPQ3Z2ZGR7K.
• Find the Vole users folder. Unless you changed the defaults, it will be in a directory called Vole/users in your home folder.
• Create a new folder in Vole/users, you should name it after the user that you're about to follow. For example, Vole/users/voleteam.
• In BitTorrent Sync, add this new folder as a shared folder, using the read-only key you grabbed in step 1. Instructions are available on their site and vary a little by operating system.
• You should receive notification that the folder has sync'd.
• In your browser, see the new posts appear.

Sharing your posts

Find your own user folder, for example, if you created a profile named 'Chuck':

/home/chuck/Vole/users/Chuck_9674e8e8-7c7a-41e6-52ed-51a3f7969812

• In Bittorrent Sync, add this folder as a shared folder.
• In the folder options, grab the read-only key. Make sure the key starts with the letter 'B' that signifies it's the read-only one. You can find it by going to the advanced folder preferences. This is the key that you can share with others so they can follow your posts.
• If you want to list your key on vole.cc, make a pull request on the website repo. Here is an example.

Configuration

To override the default configuration options, make a copy of config.sample.json and name it config.json.
Change the server.listen value to 0.0.0.0:6789 to listen for requests from any network device, instead of just the local machine.
