I'm evaluating libp2p's pubsub implementation for coordinating a dynamic number of distributed nodes. I noticed there was a neat (but IMO rather complex and hard to quickly grok) example for pubsub using mdns, but as my nodes could span multiple networks I needed to use rendezvous instead.
This PR is a pared-down example that mashes together
pubsub/chat
andchat-with-rendezvous
, stripping away all of the UI prettiness in order to more clearly show the most basic setup needed to get a shared pubsub topic sent to 2+ nodes.I haven't yet tested this on multiple PCs / across NAT barriers, but it does work with multiple processes running locally.
