About
Arborisis
Arborisis is a small independent outfit in Belgium, and this node is the part of it that faces the mesh: infrastructure offered to the network rather than kept for ourselves. More at https://arborisis.com.
The node
- A virtual machine on a home hypervisor in Belgium, deployed from code.
- Reticulum 1.5.4 (rnsd and rngit), LXMF 1.1.1, NomadNet 1.4.3, Sideband 2.1.0, rrcd — versions pinned together and upgraded together, by hand, never automatically.
- The public port arrives through a tunnel from a VPS: the house itself opens nothing to the internet.
- Beside the machine, a LoRa RNode (Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3) on air at 869.525 MHz — linked to both nodes by a TCP uplink of its own to each. See the LoRa page.
- Identities are backed up off-site. The node has changed machines once already and kept its name on the network; it will again if it must.
Location
The interface announces coordinates rounded to about one kilometre — enough to place the node on the map, not enough to place a house. The LoRa radio announces the same rounded position: it sits on the same table. This page says Belgium and leaves it there.
What we do not do
- We do not read, store or analyse your traffic. Reticulum is encrypted end to end; a gateway sees ciphertext and routing, nothing else.
- We do not log who connects. rnstatus counts clients; it does not remember them. The git node counts views, clones and pushes per repository and per day — numbers, not identities.
- We do not keep chat history on the hub.
- We do not make the node look busier than it is: every number shown here is a fresh measurement or « unavailable ».
Reach the operator
Over LXMF, to the address shown in the propagation node's announce; over the hub, in #arborisis; or by the ordinary web, through arborisis.com. For anything about this node's behaviour on the network — an announce storm, a peering problem, a stale path — please do say so.
