Node installation, no documentation nor packages

[fairking]

I would like to install OpenDHT on my server in order to expand the network.

I only found an instruction how to build the binaries. But I don't want to install any dev dependencies and configure everything on my server. I would like to keep it minimal. Is there any proper way to install on my fedora box?

Eg. sudo dnf install opendht & systemctl enable opendht.

BTW. I tried to to compile but it says:

CMake Error None of the required 'cppunit' found

And then it says:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:359 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "opendht" links to:

    fmt::fmt

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

So if there would be a proper package to download and run with documentation it would be great and help to make opendht more popular network.

Hi,
The recommended way to run a node is using the Docker image:
https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/opendht/wiki/Running-a-node-with-dhtnode

docker run -d -p4222:4222/udp ghcr.io/savoirfairelinux/opendht/opendht-alpine dhtnode -b bootstrap.jami.net -p 4222 -s

Unfortunately OpenDHT is not yet packaged on Fedora, however it's packaged on various other distros including Debian/Ubuntu and Arch.

I tried to to compile but it says:

CMake Error None of the required 'cppunit' found

cppunit can be removed from the dependencies by disabling tests,
by adding -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to the cmake command.

And then it says:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:359 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "opendht" links to:

    fmt::fmt

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

Thanks for the report :) The build instruction was updated to add fmt-devel.
