### gpg and i2p made simple for end-to-end encrypted, secure comms

## About

* send messages over the invisible internet
* vanity base32 addresses (advanced)
* automated mandatory gpg key encryption
* xmr payment integration

## Dev

* stack - rust (egui, rocket), lmdb, i2p-zero, monero(rpc, daemon), gpg
* install dependencies
    * ubuntu example: `sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y`
    * `sudo apt install -y libssl-dev build-essential libgpgme-dev`
* `git clone https://github/com/creating2morrow/nevmes`
* `cd nevmes && ./scripts/build_all_and_run.sh "-- -h"`
* gui built with rust [egui](https://docs.rs/egui/latest/egui/)

## Installation Mananger

* additional required software can be downloaded from the gui home or `Binaries` links below
* hashes are in core [lib.rs](./nevmes-core/src/lib.rs)
* download i2p-zero, put the path in the connection manager or cli `--i2p-zero-dir` flag
* download monero, update connection manager or cli
  * `--monero-blockchain-dir`, where to put lmdb for monero (e.g. path/to/ssd)
  * `--monero-location`, path to monero download

## Contributing and Releasing

```bash
| branch |                 |tag and release|
  dev     -----------------|-------------------------------------------->
  v0.1.0  -----------tag v0.1.0 (delete branch)
  v0.2.0                   |-------------------------------------------->
  main    -------------------------------------------------------------->
```

* code on dev branch
* run `./scripts/fmtall.sh` before committing
* pull request to dev branch
* todo => `TODO(name): detailed work`
* docs on all `pub fn` and `pub struct`
* merge dev to vX.X.X
* merge vX.X.X to main
* tag release v.X.X.X every friday (if stable changes)
* release binaries from the `cargo-build-release` workflow with notes
* create next v.X.X+1.X branch and delete old release branch
* release bug fixes as appropriate to v.X.X.X+1 branch when ready

## Workflows

|name                | branch   | purpose                                     |
|--                  |--        |--                                           |
|cargo-build         | main,dev | ensure code compilation and build success   |
|cargo-audit         | main,dev | run security audit against RustSec database |
|cargo-build-release | `v0.*`   | publish production ready binaries           |

## API

* remote/programmatic access
* secured by wallet signing
* jwt and jwp
* see [curl.md](./docs/curl.md)

## Binaries

* nevmes-auth - `internal` auth server
* nevmes-contact - `internal` add contacts server
* nevmes-gui - primary user interface
* nevmes-message - `internal` message tx/read etc. server
* nevmes - `external` primary server for contact share, payment, message rx etc.
* [monerod](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli) - (not included) monero-wallet-rpc needs this
    * can be overriden with remote node
    * use the `--remote-node` flag
* [monero-wallet-rpc](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli) - (not included) interface for xmr wallet ops
* [i2p-zero](https://github.com/creating2morrow/i2p-zero/releases/tag/v1.21-nevmes) - (not included) tunnel creation and http proxy

most of the complex logic stays in nevmes-core, exported from [lib.rs](./nevmes-core/src/lib.rs)
