Scuttlebot plugin that exchanges invites with other sbots in a DHT
npm install ssb-discovery-swarm> A Scuttlebot plugin that exchanges invites with other sbots in a DHT
Every (internet) sbot which has this plugin installed will look for each other using discovery-swarm (backed by a Distributed Hash Table, DHT) and will exchange invites to follow each other.
Note: this is an experimental plugin and may cause strangers to replicate each other's feeds. The use of a DHT in Scuttlebutt still requires proper consideration and design.
``diff`
const createSbot = require('scuttlebot/index')
.use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/plugins'))
.use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/master'))
.use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/gossip'))
.use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/replicate'))

You can configure the parameters for this plugin through the ssb config object. All parameters are optional and have default values, so manual configuration is not strictly required:
`diff`
var config = {
// ...
+ swarm: {
+ port: 8007, // port to use in the swarm
+ maxPeers: 3, // maximum number of peers to connect with simultaneously
+ prefix: 'ssb-stuff', // id string to use to discover other compatible peers
+ },
// ...
}

npm install --save ssb-discovery-swarm
