• Server

For more details on what's below, read the Server guide

• Clone this repo's source code:

  • Option 1) git clone https://github.com/jonnyhyman/ResolveCollaboration.git
  • Option 2) Download and unzip this
  • Open a shell (Powershell/Terminal) and change directory to the rmc folder cd /path/to/ResolveCollaboration/rmc

• Server on macOS

  • Install Homebrew
  • Run in Terminal:
    • brew install wireguard-tools
    • brew install python3 (if you don't already have Python 3)
    • pip install PyQt5==5.15.2 cryptography psycopg2-binary elevate
    • sudo python rmc_server.py

• Server on Windows

  • Install Python 3.9
  • Install Wireguard for Windows
  • Run in Powershell/Command Prompt:
    • pip install PyQt5==5.15.2 cryptography psycopg2-binary pywin32 elevate

The GUI will automatically demand root/admin privileges using the elevate package, to allow:

• Control of Wireguard
• Opening of Firewall (macOS)
• Reconfiguring of Network Sharing settings (Windows)
• Read/write of configuration files in protected directories
• PostgreSQL Server restarts (macOS via pg_ctl, Windows via the postgres service)

Plans for a fully-featured paid version

I'm trying to gauge interest for a paid version of this app, which would be far more powerful, adding:

• Client
  • High performance, written in native languages (C++ Windows/Linux, Swift macOS)
  • 2Fac Auth, Tunnel (embedded), Extended Userlist (IP/Loc, Machine ID, Productivity)
  • Cloud Sync Info (Dropbox, Drive, etc…)
  • Interplanetary File System project media storage and sync
  • Filecoin long-term project media storage and archiving
• Server
  • High performance, written in native languages (C++ Windows/Linux, Swift macOS)
  • 2Fac Auth, Tunnel (embedded), Extended Userlist (IP/Loc, Machine ID, Productivity)
  • Cloud Sync Info (Dropbox, Drive, etc…)
  • Seamless support for linked-star tunnels or maybe meshes?
  • More user information and security features (IP lock, Machine ID lock, etc…)
• Admin app:
  • Control unlimited number of servers from afar through a powerful web app
