dcrseeder

Requirements

Go 1.9 or newer.

Getting Started

• dcrseeder will now be installed in either $GOROOT/bin or $GOPATH/bin depending on your configuration. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, we recommend you do so now.

Updating

Windows

Install a newer MSI

Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source

• Dep

  Dep is used to manage project dependencies and provide reproducible builds. To install:

  go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

Unfortunately, the use of dep prevents a handy tool such as go get from automatically downloading, building, and installing the source in a single command. Instead, the latest project and dependency sources must be first obtained manually with git and dep, and then go is used to build and install the project.

Getting the source:

For a first time installation, the project and dependency sources can be obtained manually with git and dep (create directories as needed):

git clone https://github.com/decred/dcrseeder $GOPATH/src/github.com/decred/dcrseeder
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/decred/dcrseeder
dep ensure
go install . ./cmd/...

To update an existing source tree, pull the latest changes and install the matching dependencies:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/decred/dcrseeder
git pull
dep ensure
go install . ./cmd/...

For more information about Decred and how to set up your software please go to our docs page at docs.decred.org.

To start dcrseeder listening on udp 127.0.0.1:5354 with an initial connection to working testnet node 192.168.0.1:

$ ./dcrseeder -n nameserver.example.com -H network-seed.example.com -s 192.168.0.1 --testnet

You will then need to redirect DNS traffic on your public IP port 53 to 127.0.0.1:5354
