Join a federation

Requirements

• Your machine, better if it's permanently connected & with Docker installed.
• 1 folder that has all the files you want to publicly share.
• The .fedvars file of the federation you want to join. The federation itself may provide it.

Setup

• Download trile's cli. x64 (opens in a new tab) & arm64 (opens in a new tab) are the supported architectures.
• ./trile install member --shared-disk-space-gb 100 --sharing-folder /path/to/your/sharing/folder --fedvars-file /path/to/the/.fedvars
• It's advised to copy the trile binary to ~/.local/bin so you can invoke the cli from any path.

Check for further information on all the options available.

After a few seconds, you should be able to visit the website of the federation you've join and see your name & files listed there.

Warning

When you boot trile, you sharing folder gets scanned & synced with the federation. Be careful with your private data.

Also, the number of files and their size have and impact on the time it will take to process your shared folder.
Be patience on your 1st boot if your shared folder already contains a large sum of data.
You can track the state of the processing on the logs of the backend container.
