(try @asowner <num>) + +-- A smallish disclaimer +Do not blindly run anything you find in ResDB. +Someone could have edited, well, anything, to include a rm -rf / (or worse) +Everything is written in human readable languages. So just cat the scripts and read them. +You might even learn something. + +-- What are all these things? +Short explanation on what everything in resdb is. +doc/ Where people put documentation. A bit sparse. Also where this file should be. +db/ Ill get to that later. Its the important bit. +contrib/ Full of a lot of misc things that people found useful enough to include. Most of it is not documented. Run with care. +scripts/ Mostly scripts directly related to working with ResDB. Again, run with care. + +The executables are related to running your own git and serving your modified ResDB. +./configure will configure git commit relevant stuff, and also configure gitd. +./gitd will run the git server. Optimally you would use this to serve your modified ResDB to others. Once someone else has it, it will usually spread fast. +./git-commit will commit whatever canges you made. You should always do this when done fucking with resdb. People cant pull uncommited changes. + +Once you want to announce your changes, just go to #anonet and tell people to pull from git://<yourgitdip>/ +Note that many people set up a proper git server to serve ResDB and other things. The included gitd is a bootstrap and potential hazard. (Since future commits might put bad things in there.) + +-- DB Structure +- db/as/ +Every claimed AS has a directory here. Inside is a single file called 'owner'. +That file simply contains the handle of whoever owns that AS. +To add yourself, either create these things manually or use a script. (scripts/add_as) + +- db/dom/ +Inside is a directory for each TLD in use. In each TLD directory are domain names. +Each domain name directory contains another 'owner' file, and a ns directory. +The ns directory should contain a file named 'a.ns.<domain>.<tld>' or something similar. +In that file should be a valid anonet ip to a DNS server. This DNS server will be asked about your domain and is required. +There is also a script for this (scripts/add_dom), but take care to give a valid ns as argument too or your domain will be broken. + +- db/ip and db/ip6 +Nested directories for each byte of an IP. At the end of that chain is, again, an owner file and a cidr file. +Doing this manually might cause confusion, headaches and sudden death. +Id recommend using a script. (scripts/add_ip) + +- db/usr +Kind of freeform. A directory for every handle that cares to add itself. +Inside, you can put pretty much whatever information you want. +An adress to your git server, contact information. The filenames should be short and descriptive. +Just check a few folders yourself and youll get the idea. Maybe find something useful. + +-- So what do? +Well, if you are reading this, I assume you are already peered. So you should know your information. +So go and add it to the relevant places as explained. +If you are still confused (as you should be) head to #anonet and seek help. You should say Hi anyway. +Help on other related things (like tinydns) can be found on the wiki or asked for. +If something doesnt work, fuck around with it untill it does. |
