# sdash

sdash is a simple personal gateway to the [scuttlebot](http://scuttlebot.io) distributed social database

### Install Scuttlebot

```
sudo npm install -g scuttlebot
scuttlebot server
```

Next, request a Scuttlebot invite from [someone on the network](mailto:ev@evbogue.com)

In another window

```
sbot plugins.install ssb-ws
sbot plugins.install query
sbot plugins.install links
```

And restart sbot after the plugins are installed using `ctrl-c` and `scuttlebot server`

To launch sdash clone it down

```
sudo npm install -g git-ssb
git clone ssb://%qrU04j9vfUJKfq1rGZrQ5ihtSfA4ilfY3wLy7xFv0xk=.sha256 sdash
cd sdash
npm install
node index
```
and navigate to [http://localhost:7000](http://localhost:7000)

### Configure

To show your own sdash page, replace `var me = '@8Qee0I/DwI5DHSCi3p5fsl6FyLGArrnDz3ox9qZr5Qc=.ed25519';` in `index.js` with your own public key

To pin a post use the sbot command line `sbot publish --type pin --link '<key>'`
