How to specify a bootstrap server to jamid?

Support in English

I have an air-gaped LAN with 3 dhtnode happily running.

I moved a running jamid to that LAN. It keeps trying to read old peers on the internet and do not discover the DHTnodes :frowning:

How do I tell to jamid running on a fourth box to use one of those DHT node as bootstrap?

Jami for mobile clients

Jami for desktop clients

  1. Click the Open settings button.
  2. Select the Account tab.
  3. Select the Advanced settings tab.
  4. Change the options under the OpenDHT configuration heading.

Does this help?

Thank you

jamid is not the desktop client with a GUI! I mean the jami-daemon talking to it via DBus (via controller.py)…

I can hack around setting the DHTnode_IP in /etc/hosts for bootstrap.jami.net but that is not elegant nor easy to maintain…

Is there a setAccountDetails method?

self.configurationmanager.setAccountDetails(account, {'Account.bootstrapListUrl' : 'DHTnode_IP' })

Thank you for the hint.

As it is an account property, I understand it will follow the account if I copy local account files to another box.

src/account_schema.h doesn’t cite the property Account.bootstrapListUrl

but I found in src/account_config.h

/** SIP hostname (SIP account) or DHT bootstrap nodes (Jami account) */
std::string hostname {};

I suppose that one will do;
