The radicle node is our daemon friend that is running as a background
|
|
process. It allows us to interact with the network as well as storing
|
|
some key data that we may be interested in.
|
|
|
|
If the node is not running we can start it by using the `rad node
|
|
start` command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node start
|
|
✓ Node is already running.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can confirm the status of the node at any time by using the `rad
|
|
node status` command (or just `rad node` for short):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node status
|
|
✓ Node is running.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The node also allows us to query data that it has access too such as
|
|
the tracking relationships and the routing table. Before we explore
|
|
those commands we'll first track a peer so that we have something to
|
|
see.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad track did:key:z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk --alias Bob
|
|
✓ Tracking policy updated for z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk (Bob)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, when we use the `rad node tracking` command we will see
|
|
information for repositories that we track -- in this case a
|
|
repository that was already created:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node tracking
|
|
╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
|
|
│ RID Scope Policy │
|
|
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji trusted track │
|
|
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the same as using the `--repos` flag, but if we wish to see
|
|
which nodes we are specifically tracking, then we use the `--nodes`
|
|
flag:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node tracking --nodes
|
|
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
|
|
│ DID Alias Policy │
|
|
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ did:key:z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk Bob track │
|
|
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To see the routing table we can use the `rad node routing` command and
|
|
see what Repository IDs match up with the interests of which Node
|
|
IDs. In this case, it is just our own Node ID for the project we
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node routing
|
|
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
|
|
│ RID NID │
|
|
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji z6MknSL…StBU8Vi │
|
|
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, if we want to stop the daemon process from running we can
|
|
issue the `rad node stop` command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node stop
|
|
✓ Stopping node...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running the command again gives us an error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rad node stop
|
|
✗ Stopping node... error: node is not running
|
|
```
