I have installed JAMS on my AlmaLinux 10 system, served via Nginx, and added an OpenDHT container that acts as a bootstrap server and distributes the DHT proxy list.
My goal is to use only my own devices and server; however, both the Jami desktop (Linux) and Android apps enable the “Use DHT proxy” option, pointing to a DHT server other than mine. Consequently, my users cannot communicate, and I have to disable this option every time the Jami app starts.
I have selected the “Local DHT node” connection mode, disabled notifications, and enabled background operation, yet I still have to manually disable “Use DHT proxy” on all apps to allow my users to communicate. How can I configure the Jami apps so that this setting remains permanently disabled?
Dht proxy seems to be able to input custom addresses. Have you ever tried deleting the official address and filling in your own DHT proxy address?
Yes, I filled in the field, but you’ve raised a doubt. I use a CNAME that points to my OpenDHT server. Do I really have to enter an IP address? I’m attaching a screenshot to clarify the problem. The first switch reactivates at every startup, and a random “DHT server” appears, and I can’t connect to my users unless I disable it. In this example, the DHT proxy that appears is “port_ipv4.” Sorry if the image is in the Italian version.
What did you configure for the DHT proxy list? It looks like you’re using JAMS to manage clients (I haven’t tried it yet), and I guess doing this kind of configuration might make the DHT proxy turn on automatically.
When the DHT client cannot find peers, it will try to connect to bootstrap nodes. But if the DHT proxy is enabled, the application will not use its own client, but will access the DHT network through the proxy server.
Yes, I use jams for my users and would like to share accounts between them using only my devices/servers. The blueprint configuration I use for their group is correctly propagated to the Android and Linux desktop apps. The only change I “have to make manually” is to insert dhtproxy.terlizio.it.4222 as the bootstrap server to point to my OpenDHT installation.
