A multi-currency, zero-config, peer-to-peer, Interledger-enabled payment network
In order to develop a peer-to-peer application, it is very useful to quickly spin up several nodes which can all talk to each other. Dassie uses HTTPS everywhere including during development, so you will need to generate certificates for your nodes.
- A Node version manager which respects
.node-version
. For example, fnm. *.localhost
mapped to127.0.0.1
via something like dnsmasq (MacOS).- mkcert
- Run
mkcert -install
to create the private CA and register it in your OS and browser. - Add
export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS="$(mkcert -CAROOT)/rootCA.pem"
to your.bashrc
,.zshrc
, or similar.
- Run
- OpenSSL with ed25519 support. On MacOS Sierra and higher this requires further steps.
Install package dependencies.
pnpm install
Run the development environment.
pnpm start
You generally won't need to build Dassie images locally as this job is normally done by our CI. However, there are a few situations where you may want create custom Dassie binaries.
- Node.js
- PNPM (
npm install -g pnpm
) - Docker
To initiate a build, simply run:
pnpm build
This will first create a "builder" Docker image and then call this image with any parameters that you pass in.
For example, you can pass in a different build target:
pnpm build canary
