Reticulum

A hybrid game networking and web API server, focused on Social Mixed Reality.

Development

1. Install Prerequisite Packages:

PostgreSQL (recommended version 11.x):

Linux: Use your package manager

Windows: https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/

Windows WSL: https://github.com/michaeltreat/Windows-Subsystem-For-Linux-Setup-Guide/blob/master/readmes/installs/PostgreSQL.md

Erlang (v22) + Elixr + Phoenix

https://elixir-lang.org/install.html

https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/installation.html

Ansible

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html

2. Setup Reticulum:

Run the following commands at the root of the reticulum directory:

  1. mix deps.get
  2. mix ecto.create
    • If step 2 fails, you may need to change the password for the postgres role to match the password configured dev.exs.
    • From within the psql shell, enter ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'postgres';
  3. from the assets directory, npm install
  4. From the project directory mkdir -p storage/dev

3. Start Reticulum

Run scripts/run.sh if you have the hubs secret repo cloned. Otherwise iex -S mix phx.server

Run Hubs Against a Local Reticulum Instance

0. Dependencies

Install NodeJS if you haven't already. We recommend version 12 or above.

1. Setup the hubs.local hostname

When running the full stack for Hubs (which includes Reticulum) locally it is necessary to add a hosts entry pointing hubs.local to your local server's IP. This will allow the CSP checks to pass that are served up by Reticulum so you can test the whole app. Note that you must also load hubs.local over https.

Example:

hubs.local 127.0.0.1

2. Setting up the Hubs Repository

Clone the Hubs repository and install the npm dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/mozilla/hubs.git
cd hubs
npm ci

3. Start the Hubs Webpack Dev Server

Because we are running Hubs against the local Reticulum client you'll need to use the npm run local command in the root of the hubs folder. This will start the development server on port 8080, but configure it to be accessed through Reticulum on port 4000.

4. Navigate To The Client Page

Once both the Hubs Webpack Dev Server and Reticulum server are both running you can navigate to the client by opening up:

https://hubs.local:4000?skipadmin

The skipadmin is a temporary measure to bypass being redirected to the admin panel. Once you have logged in you will no longer need this.

5. Logging In

To log into Hubs we use magic links that are sent to your email. When you are running Reticulum locally we do not send those emails. Instead, you'll find the contents of that email in the Reticulum console output.

With the Hubs landing page open click the Sign In button at the top of the page. Enter an email address and click send.

Go to the reticulum terminal session and find a url that looks like https://hubs.local:4000/?auth_origin=hubs&auth_payload=XXXXX&auth_token=XXXX

Navigate to that url in your browser to finish signing in.

6. Creating an Admin User

After you've started Reticulum for the first time you'll likely want to create an admin user. Assuming you want to make the first account the admin, this can be done in the iex console using the following code:

Ret.Account |> Ret.Repo.all() |> Enum.at(0) |> Ecto.Changeset.change(is_admin: true) |> Ret.Repo.update!()

Run Spoke Against a Local Reticulum Instance

  1. Follow the steps above to setup Hubs
  2. Clone and start spoke by running ./scripts/run_local_reticulum.sh in the root of the spoke project
  3. Navigate to https://hubs.local:4000/spoke
