rns.recipes

A RRC hub for rns.recipes is now online at

28c7c1a68c735693aa8e6b8193ed44b2

Stop by and say hi! 🗨

/join general to access the main room.

You can grab a RRC client like RRC-web https://github.com/kc1awv/rrc-web, rrc-gui https://github.com/kc1awv/rrc-gui, or a Text UI version here: https://github.com/kc1awv/rrc-tui

i'm having issues connecting, but meshchatx is reporting a found path, are we sure that the chat is up yet?

MeshChatX does not support RRC protocol (yet) you need a separate RRC client.

Just be aware, the RRC clients I wrote are alpha stage - I welcome PRs for bug fix / features if you're so inclined!

VERY NICE! I like it :)

Left the RRC TUI up over night on my machine but nothing came up on the dicovery page? are you announcing that address? it picked up Torlando's RRC server and a few others but not rns.recipes.

NomadNet 1.1.0 now has a built in RRC client and [ Channels ] tab!

Any idea if this is on roadmap?

Yes for v4.7.0

That's awesome news Ivan! Thanks for all your work.

I might be missing something, so let me ask. I built a RRC feature into my mobile app and it works, but the connection drops. I know there is a Ping/Pong check that makes the client timeout if no response. Is the intent that the client always responds to the keepalive or is the intent that the client only connects when one wants to chat? Thanks! BTW, right now it shows no destination, so I can connect anyway.

I've been trying to use RRC on nomadnet 1.2.0 in ubuntu but it just closes nomadnet immediately if I try and view a channel.

Can you share what it says in ~/.nomadnetwork/logfile ? And also try pip install -U nomadnet to make sure you are on the latest release, which is currently 1.2.1

Yeah I am actually running 1.2.1. Thanks for your time and all your work.

There is a new release on pypi that fixes that issue for Python 3.10. Upgrade your nomadnet and it should be working now
