Discovery fails unless run manually

[benhylau]

Discovery does not work unless I manually run this in my docker container:

root@bloor:~# docker exec -it ssb sh
/ # sh /root/ssb-web-pi/ssb-broadcast.sh

tcpdump shows some broadcasts like this:

14:38:56.528381 IP 169.254.46.28.47445 > 255.255.255.255.8008: UDP, length 27
A.........U.H.#w.net:169.254.46.28:8008~shs:

I think this needs to be in the loop (and validated) because in the beginning sbot whoami probably returns nothing, leading to the corrupt broadcast.

I see that prototype, and therefore meshstream, tries to address this by a delay... which partially takes care of the problem but I think it's an unreliable way of doing it. No such mechanism exists here.

I was trying to avoid a delay there but your are right. It failed miserably..

This is how I build:

root@christie:~# docker build -t tomeshnet/ssb:0.5 .
root@christie:~# docker save --output tomeshnet-ssb-0.5.tar tomeshnet/ssb:0.5

And run:

root@bloor:~# docker load --input ~/docker/tomeshnet-ssb-0.5.tar
root@bloor:~# docker run --name ssb --network host --detach tomeshnet/ssb:0.5

Ugh... new ways to fail 🤣
