DeBros Network - Distributed P2P Database System

A decentralized peer-to-peer data platform built in Go. Combines distributed SQL (RQLite), pub/sub messaging, and resilient peer discovery so applications can share state without central infrastructure.

Quick Start

Local Development

# Build the project
make build

# Start 5-node development cluster
make dev

The cluster automatically performs health checks before declaring success.

Stop Development Environment

make stop

Testing Services

After running make dev, test service health using these curl requests:

Note: Local domains (node-1.local, etc.) require running sudo make setup-domains first. Alternatively, use localhost with port numbers.

Node Unified Gateways

Each node is accessible via a single unified gateway port:

# Node-1 (port 6001)
curl http://node-1.local:6001/health

# Node-2 (port 6002)
curl http://node-2.local:6002/health

# Node-3 (port 6003)
curl http://node-3.local:6003/health

# Node-4 (port 6004)
curl http://node-4.local:6004/health

# Node-5 (port 6005)
curl http://node-5.local:6005/health

Network Architecture

Unified Gateway Ports

Node-1:     localhost:6001  → /rqlite/http, /rqlite/raft, /cluster, /ipfs/api
Node-2:     localhost:6002  → Same routes
Node-3:     localhost:6003  → Same routes
Node-4:     localhost:6004  → Same routes
Node-5:     localhost:6005  → Same routes

Direct Service Ports (for debugging)

RQLite HTTP:     5001, 5002, 5003, 5004, 5005 (one per node)
RQLite Raft:     7001, 7002, 7003, 7004, 7005
IPFS API:        4501, 4502, 4503, 4504, 4505
IPFS Swarm:      4101, 4102, 4103, 4104, 4105
Cluster API:     9094, 9104, 9114, 9124, 9134
Internal Gateway: 6000
Olric Cache:     3320
Anon SOCKS:      9050

orama dev logs node-1           # Node-1 logs
orama dev logs node-1 --follow  # Follow logs in real-time
orama dev logs gateway --follow # Gateway logs

# Stop all services
orama stop

# Build binaries
make build

CLI Commands

Network Status

./bin/orama health          # Cluster health check
./bin/orama peers           # List connected peers
./bin/orama status          # Network status

Database Operations

./bin/orama query "SELECT * FROM users"
./bin/orama query "CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY)"
./bin/orama transaction --file ops.json

Pub/Sub

./bin/orama pubsub publish <topic> <message>
./bin/orama pubsub subscribe <topic> 30s
./bin/orama pubsub topics

Authentication

./bin/orama auth login
./bin/orama auth status
./bin/orama auth logout

Production Deployment

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+
• amd64 or arm64 architecture
• 4GB RAM, 50GB SSD, 2 CPU cores

Required Ports

External (must be open in firewall):

• 80 - HTTP (ACME/Let's Encrypt certificate challenges)
• 443 - HTTPS (Main gateway API endpoint)
• 4101 - IPFS Swarm (peer connections)
• 7001 - RQLite Raft (cluster consensus)

Internal (bound to localhost, no firewall needed):

• 4501 - IPFS API
• 5001 - RQLite HTTP API
• 6001 - Unified Gateway
• 8080 - IPFS Gateway
• 9050 - Anyone Client SOCKS5 proxy
• 9094 - IPFS Cluster API
• 3320/3322 - Olric Cache

Installation

# Install via APT
echo "deb https://debrosficial.github.io/network/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debros.list

sudo apt update && sudo apt install orama

sudo orama install --interactive

Service Management

# Status
orama status

# Control services
sudo orama start
sudo orama stop
sudo orama restart

# View logs
orama logs node --follow
orama logs gateway --follow
orama logs ipfs --follow

Upgrade

# Upgrade to latest version
sudo orama upgrade --interactive

Configuration

All configuration lives in ~/.orama/:

• configs/node.yaml - Node configuration
• configs/gateway.yaml - Gateway configuration
• configs/olric.yaml - Cache configuration
• secrets/ - Keys and certificates
• data/ - Service data directories

Troubleshooting

Services Not Starting

# Check status
systemctl status debros-node

# View logs
journalctl -u debros-node -f

# Check log files
tail -f /home/debros/.orama/logs/node.log

Port Conflicts

# Check what's using specific ports
sudo lsof -i :443   # HTTPS Gateway
sudo lsof -i :7001  # TCP/SNI Gateway
sudo lsof -i :6001  # Internal Gateway

RQLite Cluster Issues

# Connect to RQLite CLI
rqlite -H localhost -p 5001

# Check cluster status
.nodes
.status
.ready

# Check consistency level
.consistency

Reset Installation

# Production reset (⚠️ DESTROYS DATA)
sudo orama uninstall
sudo rm -rf /home/debros/.orama
sudo orama install
