Aha so adding -f to the gnunet-peer -s -g makes it output the hello.

And that URI is accepted by gnunet-peer -p

Now the peer is listed with gnunet-peer (-f)

Now peer A and B has both peer A and B in their peerinfo lists.


the nodes), still only the Y924 is being sent.

Then I changed the URIs fromgnunet://hello-friend tognunet://hello.
Now the peers get sent with the hostlist.

However, the peer A is still not being sent by the hostlist (after retstarting

I do not get why - in F2F mode - you are doing that. What is the content of

friends.txt?

AFAIU, the friends.txt file is supposed to hold one public key per line

of nodes that one allows connections from.

Means peer A has the hello of peer B in its friends.txt and vice versa?!

Can you please elaborate more on your use case.

Simply to bootstrap a fully private network.

The solution was to, as Martin suggested, delete the entry in the

What made it problematic was the forced connection of the bundled peer. That's why I tried F2F mode, but it turns out that comes with its own caveats in $PREFIX/share/gnunet/hellos/* dir. When starting two peers from scratch interface, that's what i tried so far). I don't think the hellos dir is clearly

My expectation was, that the  entries in the friends.txt should be
sufficient and no hostlist server is needed. I will check in the code.

Does that mean that friends.txt need to contain hello uris and NOT just
the public keys?

This is not really documented either, at least sufficiently for my
feeble mind.

My fault. You are right. Only the peer public keys.

At least I now understand why you do what you are doing. ;-)
