Welcome to Sphinx Tribes - a decentralized message broker designed for public groups in Sphinx Chat. Empowering users to run their own Sphinx Tribes server, this platform seamlessly routes group messages for various applications such as sphinx-relay nodes, apps, websites, or IoT devices.
Additionally, a subset of Sphinx Tribes is the Bounties Platform - a global marketplace for work paid out in bitcoin bounties.
Sphinx Tribes operates as an MQTT broker that any node can subscribe to. Message topics always consist of two parts: {receiverPubKey}/{groupUUID}. Only the group owner has the privilege to publish messages, and all messages from group members are required to be submitted to the owner as a Lightning keysend payment. The group uuid is essentially a timestamp signed by the owner.
The sphinx-tribes-frontend also contains the frontend for the bounties platform website. In order to run the website locally on your computer, you'll need to run sphinx-tribes-frontend as a whole. You can find the backend repo at sphinx-tribes.
The authentication process is seamlessly handled by sphinx-auth.
To run the tribes frontend locally, utilize the following ports:
- Tribes:
yarn start:tribes:docker(localhost:23000) - People:
yarn start:people:docker(localhost:23007)
If you wish to run only the frontend, follow these steps:
- Modify line 10 in
src/config/ModeDispatcher.tsx:
- Change
'localhost:3000': AppMode.TRIBESto'localhost:3000': AppMode.COMMUNITY
- Modify line 27 in
src/config/ModeDispatcher.tsx:
- Change
return hosts[host] || AppMode.TRIBES;toreturn hosts[host] || AppMode.COMMUNITY;
- Modify line 6 in
src/config/host.ts:
- Change
return host;toreturn 'people-test.sphinx.chat';
- Open the terminal. Locate your folder and then run:
