Re: relay bot - it doesn’t look like there’s a functional API in Haven, I suppose adding that would be part of it? ---

A thought about Haven - It’s pretty cool that you can run a local instance that uses cmix. So if someone censors haven.xx.network, someone can just get the docker image and run it. Any interest in using Github actions (or Gitlab CI) to build a docker image automatically for each major release? Then have a simple wiki article on how to run your own local haven. Edit: I could do it as a PR pretty easily, but I understand you do most of your dev on gitlab. It could still run and be hosted by github, but of course dependent on updates / releases being pushed to github. ---

I’d prefer a docker image built by the foundation than a random on Github. But I do like their docker compose tor solution. ---

A Dockerfile is already provided in the official Gitlab repo, as you know it’s just 1 line to build it and change the image link in Docker compose files (which I suggest to do in my README.md as the preferred option, by the way). The time-consuming parts are Caddy/Traffic/Tor integration followed by Dockerfile maintenance (the official one is still based on NodeJS v16), tuning (e.g. I had NodeJS telemetry disabled since day 1 in late 2022), testing and documentation, all of which are tasks peripheral to building. Anyway, it’d be nice to have the official image - I’ll just add another container image link option to my docs for those who don’t want to build their own. ---

Thank you. By the way, I don’t mind the “random” characterization - it is kind of random, especially as I don’t disclose my real-life identity. It’s true that people should build their own container or use official images. Unfortunately, there’s no way to way to create deterministic builds for Haven, so if people download some degree of “trust” is required. I hope that ready-to-go container recipes and containers help builders more easily integrate with other apps and reach more home users (especially on ARM64). At first I was using Gitlab but just couldn’t get automated container build workflow to work correctly (I think the related Gitlab issue is still open after 3 years…). Github is much better, but they didn’t have multi-arch container build workflows when I moved there, so I build at home and upload manually. I should revisit that to see if it works now. ---

Here’s what I got so far, @rick 1. Tribler with Haven in iFrame - good for one-off access to Haven chats with Magnet links, as the moment you copy Magnet link and leave chat, Haven loses state and logs you out which most people who didn’t login just to get one link and leave would find that annoying. But those who want a built-in way to lock their Haven session when they’re not accessing it may like this better. > **[Release Tribler 8.0.2 with Haven 0.3.22 chat iFrame ·...](https://github.com/armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven/releases/tag/v1.0)** > > This experimental release runs Haven as an iFrame in Tribler UI. > As xx\_README.md suggests (read it for additional details), that's inconvenient because navigating away from Haven iFrame loses Have... ![image](https://forum.xx.network/uploads/default/original/1X/ec083f0cb480a94624893338ad67f0f54b3cffcf.png) 1. Haven with Tribler in iFrame - better for multiple downloads and chat, as you don’t get logged out. It’s two minimal patches in `build` directory, one for Haven add an iFrame, another to Tribler to allow unauthenticated access from Haven IP/host (poor man’s workaround for proper cross-domain CORS). I’m still working on this but the patches (Haven, Tribler) are in the repo, screenshots and other details in README.md in `master`. I hope to create a Docker compose The patches are just several LoC each: > **[xx-tribler-haven/build at master · armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven](https://github.com/armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven/tree/master/build)** > > Proof-of-Concept for Tribler v8.0.1 with xx Network Haven - armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven ![image](https://forum.xx.network/uploads/default/original/1X/957e22a16c143daf427a32690b800626d6cbd13f.png) 1. Unrelated to (1) and (2), a Firefox toy add-on (with hard-coded vars in v1.0) that can be used from stand-alone Haven, but also in (2) above, for example. With this approach one can’t see what’s going on with Tribler but the upside is instead of right-click + Copy you can do right-click + Download and that’s all it takes. I need to add a settings page to make it useful (as Tribler settings are hard-coded now). [GitHub - armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven: Proof-of-Concept for Tribler v8.0.1 with xx Network Haven](https://github.com/armchairancap/xx-tribler-haven) Screenshot of unpatched Haven in FF with the add-on in action: ![image](https://forum.xx.network/uploads/default/original/1X/423c7d652783749afebde6ba01f45bab259d41db.png) Both 2 & 3 would benefit from Haven & Tribler in Docker compose, for Tribler API security and convenience reasons, so I’ll try to build it for (2). ---
