LBRY Hub
A hub provides back-end services to LBRY clients. Services include
- URL resolution

- hub federation and discovery
This project will eventually subsume and replace the wallet server and the lighthouse search provider.

Dev Dependencies
Install Go 1.14+
- Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports && sudo apt install golang-go - OSX:
brew install go - Windows https://golang.org/doc/install
Download protoc from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases and make sure it is
executable and in your path.
Install Go plugin for protoc and python:
go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc
pip install grpcio grpcio-tools github3.py
Lastly the hub needs protobuf version 3.17.1, it may work with newer version but this is what it's built with, on ubuntu systems you'll have to install this from source see the GitHub actions in .github/workflows for an example of this.
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.17.1/protobuf-all-3.17.1.tar.gz
If you can run ./protobuf/build.sh without errors, you have go and protoc installed correctly.
Finally, run the block processor as described under Usage.
Running from Source
Run ./dev.sh to start the hub. The script will restart the hub as you make changes to *.go files.
To search, use go run . search text goes here.
Windows
reflex doesn't work on windows, so you'll need to run go run . serve and restart manually as you make changes.
