Developer Notes: Freenet Gateway on Vega

Gateway Status

The gateway is operational on Vega but has some issues when disconnecting and attempting to reconnect.

Systemd Service

A systemd service has been configured to manage the gateway.

Updating the Gateway

To update the gateway, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Freenet core directory:

   cd /home/freenet/freenet/freenet-core

2. Pull the latest changes or switch branches:

   git pull

3. Build the core crate in release mode:

   cd crates/core && cargo build --release

4. Restart the systemd service:

   sudo systemctl restart freenet-gateway.service

Viewing Logs

To check the logs for the gateway service:

sudo journalctl -u freenet-gateway.service -f

Running Locally

To run locally and connect to the gateway from the main branch, use the following steps:

1. Install the core crate:

   cd crates/core && cargo install --path .

2. Start the Freenet process with logging enabled:

   RUST_LOG=info,freenet=debug,freenet-stdlib=debug freenet

Note: The process will attempt to connect to both gateways. Since one of the gateways is not up yet, you are likely to encounter some connection failures.
