pixelpusherd

A Node.js-based daemon to provide backups and peers for pixelpusher documents to facilitate document sharing while clients are offline.

Many pixelpusher clients can share a single pixelpusherd instance.

Installation

npm install -g pixelpusherd

Usage

Run pixelpusherd as a long running process somewhere, typically on a Linux virtual machine in the cloud, or on a home server.

$ pixelpusherd --name="My archiver"

$ pixelpusherd --name="My Archiver"
Swarm listening on port 56593
Key: 4ffe2d27db39c4c7bae5054b1df1c8edee32ca4235228fd384d1bc4a74a1b7ed

This will create a subdirectory in the current directory pixelpusherd-archive where the data will be stored.

Connecting Clients

To use it from within pixelpusher, click the Archivers '+' button:

Archivers Add Button

In the dialog that appears, paste in the key that was displayed when you ran pixelpusherd:

Add Archiver Dialog

After clicking 'Add', your pixelpusher client will attempt to connect, and if successful, the connection indicator will turn green:

Successful Connection

On the console where pixelpusherd is running, you will see lots of logging output, which you can use to confirm that the archiver is working.
