Installation

To install Symmetry Server, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/twinnydotdev/symmetry-server.git
   cd symmetry-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Run database migrations

   npm run db:up
   

Configuration

Symmetry Server uses a YAML configuration file. By default, it looks for the config file at:

~/.config/symmetry/server.yaml

Your config file should look like this

path: /home/twinnydotdev/.config/symmetry/server # The path to your config file.
wsPort: 4005 # The port to use for WebSocket connections.
publicKey: 4b4a9cc325d134dee6679e9407420023531fd7e96c563f6c5d00fd5549b77435
privateKey: xxx # The private key.

You can create a public and private key using hypercore-crypto

const crypto = require('hypercore-crypto')

const keyPair = crypto.keyPair()
console.log(keyPair.publicKey.toString('hex'))
console.log(keyPair.secretKey.toString('hex'))

You can specify a custom config file path using the -c or --config option when running the server.
