meile-gui 0.10.3.3

Meile dVPN powered by the Sentinel Network

Meile-GUI (may•lah)

Meile dVPN GUI for Linux & OS X Powered by the Sentinel Network - a blockchain decentralized VPN.

Full Version

The full version 1.x has been released to GitHub. Branches include main, osx, fiat, osx-fiat, pip. The exception is that we did not include the scrtsxx.py which contains credentials for the FIAT gateway. Please navigate the various branches to understand the different interworkings.

Note:

If you have an older version (<0.9.5-beta.1) of Meile on your system, running the following is mandatory to allow newer versions to work:

sudo chown -R user:user /home/user/.meile-gui

where user is your username on your system.

This just changes the permissions of the meile-gui configuration directory back to a regular user instead of its previous permission as root.

Mac OS X

Download the latest release Mac OS X v1.1.0

Run:

./meile-gui

Or double click on the the icon in Finder. No brew install is required for this version as we have bundled wireguard-tools for the M1 release. MacOS (intel) will be following shortly.

NOTE:

pip install is not currently available for Mac OS X. We are working on bringing this as a separate packages.

Debian .deb package

The latest version of Meile GUI comes packaged as a Debian archive. Simply download the latest release: https://github.com/MathNodes/meile-gui/releases/

and run:

sudo apt install -y ./meile-gui-v1.0.1_amd64.deb

This release will install wireguard tools (and resolvconf) alongside Meile GUI. To run the application requires root privileges on some machines and we have enforced it within the app.

meile-gui

Or goto your panel menu under Internet and there will be a clickable icon.

Debian Virtual Machine (.deb)

Because there were issues loading certain mesa OpenGL drivers in various Debian Virtual Machines, we have included a separate .deb archive that automatically configures the system to handle the Meile dependencies. Please use this version if you are running a Debian flavor in a virutal machine (VM).

Debian/Ubuntu 20.04 Virtual Machine

Redhat/CentOS/Fedora (.rpm)

Download the latest RPM for RedHat releases:

RedHat RPM

Install the rpm from a terminal:

sudo rpm -i meile-gui-1.1.0-1.fc36.x86_64.rpm

This will install meile-gui and all its dependencies.

NOTE:

The FIAT gateway is not included in the pip package. This is due to certain credentials needing to remain secret for OPSEC reasons. The pip package will continue to get updated with the FIAT release in bug fixes and feature additions.

Creating a Binary for your distribution:

In order to create a binary for your distribution some packages need to be installed first.

Pyinstaller:

pip3 install pyinstaller

Install a python virtualenv:

sudo apt install python3-virtualenv

Then clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/MathNodes/meile-gui

Switch to the pip branch as this is the one without FIAT gateway

cd meile-gui && git checkout pip

Then run a python virtual environment and install meile-gui. This will find all the dependencies for meile-gui.

python3 -m venv meile-gui && \
source meile-gui/bin/activate && \ 
pip install -e .

Once meile-gui and it's dependencies have been installed within the python virutal environment, a binary release can be created:

bash pyinstaller.cmd

That's it. Navigate to the dist folder where the binary will be.

Donations

Because we are working on a small grant with no VC funding, any additional contributions to our developer team is more than certainly welcomed. It will help fund future releases.
