NDN Catalog (NDN Query and Retrieval Tool)

This is the front end to the catalog which contains all of the client html and code.

Setup

Simply run a webserver on THIS directory (aka .../ndn-atmos/client) and point clients to /catalog on either the domain or IP that the server is running on.

Good suggestions are http-server in npm, pythons SimpleHTTPServer, or a standard webserver like nginx or apache.

Note: HTTPS is not supported unless the ndn websocket server is running a valid certificate as well as the web server. This is due to a security rule in most browsers that restricts the ws protocol from running in https tabs/frames. All content in the https frame MUST be secure including the websocket. (HTTPS is untested at this time but you can ask questions on the mailing list if you have problems.)

config.json

###Global

  • CatalogPrefix - Where should the catalog attach in the URI scheme? (Usually the root of a catalog)
  • FaceConfig - A valid NDN node location running the websocket for NDN-JS.

###Retrieval

  • DemoKey - The public and private portion of an RSA in Base64. This key must be valid in the NDN Network for it to work.
  • Destinations - A list of retrieval URIs. These must be running the retrieval code or retrieval will fail.

Changing the theme

Currently the theme is a modified bootstrap theme that is running larger fonts and custom colors.

If you would like to modify the theme go to this url. To modify the current theme, then upload the variables.less in this folder, make your modifications, and overwrite the variables.less file when you are done (and the theme.min.css).
