NomadNet (Nomad Network) is a terminal-based LXMF and RRC client by Mark Qvist that provides encrypted peer-to-peer messaging, chat, file sharing and hypertext. It has a built-in text-based browser and page server with support for dynamically rendered pages, user authentication and more.cite-ref-1[1]

See How do I get started? ↗ in the README. Basically pip install nomadnet.

The configuration directory for NomadNet is ~/.nomadnetwork unless an alternative path is given with --config=<config directory>. On first run, a configuration file will be created (~/.nomadnetwork/config by default).

NomadNet may be used as a terminal client, a page and file server, and a basic propagation node for LXMF messages.

By default, nomadnet runs as a client. To run in daemon mode, use nomadnet --daemon.

Because NomadNet depends on LXMF and RNS, it is possible to run only nomadnet --daemon to combine the functionality of all three instead of running each separately. See RNS › Shared instance.

The following apps also support browsing NomadNet nodes:

• Columba

• MeshChat

• MeshChatX

• rBrowser

• Ren Browser ↗

A NomadNet node is an instance of NomadNet that is visible to other peers on the network, serving pages and files.

Nodes appear in the Network screen's Announce Stream pane as their announces come in, and can be saved in Saved Nodes with Ctrl+S. Ctrl+L toggles between the Announce Stream and Saved Nodes. You can also enter a node's address directly with Ctrl+U.

To become a node, set enable_node = true and specify a node_name in the NomadNet configuration file. Pages will be served from storage/pages of the configuration directory (~/.nomadnetwork/storage/pages by default) and must be in the micron format, a lightweight markup language optimized for Reticulum. Index pages must have the filename index.mu.

To not participate as a propagation node, you can set disable_propagation = true.
