mahkrabdtn 1.0.0

Delay-tolerant encrypted messaging

MahkrabDTN

Delay-tolerant encrypted messaging with a relay server and a small CLI.

Install

pipx install mahkrabdtn

For development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

CLI

The main command is mkdtn.

mkdtn identity
mkdtn register
mkdtn send <recipient-node-id> "hello"
mkdtn poll --ack

Open the terminal messenger when you want to send and receive in one terminal:

mkdtn tui

The TUI registers your node, polls for incoming messages, acknowledges received messages, and stores node aliases beside your identity file.

Run a local relay when you do not want to use the default relay:

mkdtn serve
mkdtn identity
mkdtn register --relay http://127.0.0.1:8000
mkdtn send <recipient-node-id> "hello"
mkdtn poll --ack
mkdtn poll --watch --ack
mkdtn health

The CLI uses MAHKRABDTN_RELAY and MAHKRABDTN_IDENTITY when set. By default it uses https://relay.mahkrab.com and ~/.mahkrabdtn/node.id.

Use mkdtn poll --watch --ack to keep a terminal open for incoming messages.
