- **Pub/Sub Messaging:** Topic-based, real-time, namespaced, automatic cleanup.
- **Peer Discovery & Management:** Nodes discover peers, bootstrap support, health monitoring.
- **Application Isolation:** Namespace-based multi-tenancy, per-app config.
- **Secure by Default:** Noise/TLS transport, peer identity, systemd hardening.
- **Simple Client API:** Lightweight Go client for apps and CLI tools.

---
## Quick Start
### 1. Clone and Setup
```bash
git clone https://git.debros.io/DeBros/network.git
cd network
```
### 2. Build All Executables
```bash
make build
```
### 3. Start a Bootstrap Node
```bash
make run-node
# Or manually:
go run ./cmd/node --config configs/bootstrap.yaml
```
### 4. Start Additional Nodes
```bash
make run-node2
# Or manually:
go run ./cmd/node --config configs/node.yaml
```
### 5. Test with CLI
```bash
./bin/network-cli health
./bin/network-cli peers
./bin/network-cli storage put test-key "Hello Network"
./bin/network-cli storage get test-key
./bin/network-cli pubsub publish notifications "Hello World"
./bin/network-cli pubsub subscribe notifications 10s
```
---
## Deployment & Installation
### Automated Production Install
Run the install script for a secure, production-ready setup:
```bash
curl -sSL https://git.debros.io/DeBros/network/raw/branch/main/scripts/install-debros-network.sh | sudo bash
```
**What the Script Does:**
- Detects OS, installs Go, RQLite, dependencies
- Creates `debros` system user, secure directory structure
- Generates LibP2P identity keys
- Clones source, builds binaries
- Sets up systemd service (`debros-node`)
- Configures firewall (UFW) for required ports
- Generates YAML config in `/opt/debros/configs/node.yaml`
**Directory Structure:**
```
/opt/debros/
├── bin/ # Binaries
├── configs/ # YAML configs
├── keys/ # Identity keys
├── data/ # RQLite DB, storage
├── logs/ # Node logs
├── src/ # Source code
```
**Service Management:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status debros-node
sudo systemctl start debros-node
sudo systemctl stop debros-node
sudo systemctl restart debros-node
sudo journalctl -u debros-node.service -f
```

### Flags & Environment Variables
- **Flags**: Override config at startup (`--data`, `--p2p-port`, `--rqlite-http-port`, etc.)
- **Env Vars**: Override config and flags (`NODE_ID`, `RQLITE_PORT`, `BOOTSTRAP_PEERS`, etc.)
- **Precedence**: Flags > Env Vars > YAML > Defaults
### Bootstrap & Database Endpoints
- **Bootstrap peers**: Set in config or via `BOOTSTRAP_PEERS` env var.
- **Database endpoints**: Set in config or via `RQLITE_NODES` env var.
- **Development mode**: Use `NETWORK_DEV_LOCAL=1` for localhost defaults.

## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Bootstrap Connection Failed
- **Symptoms:** `Failed to connect to bootstrap peer`
- **Solutions:** Check node is running, firewall settings, peer ID validity.
#### Database Operations Timeout
- **Symptoms:** `Query timeout` or `No RQLite connection available`
- **Solutions:** Ensure RQLite ports are open, leader election completed, cluster join config correct.
#### Message Delivery Failures
- **Symptoms:** Messages not received by subscribers
- **Solutions:** Verify topic names, active subscriptions, network connectivity.
#### High Memory Usage
- **Symptoms:** Memory usage grows continuously
- **Solutions:** Unsubscribe when done, monitor connection pool, review message retention.
### Debugging & Health Checks
```bash
export LOG_LEVEL=debug
./bin/network-cli health
./bin/network-cli peers
./bin/network-cli query "SELECT 1"
./bin/network-cli pubsub publish test "hello"
./bin/network-cli pubsub subscribe test 10s
```
### Service Logs
```bash
sudo journalctl -u debros-node.service --since "1 hour ago"
```
