This repo is a hard fork of mycellium-ui dedicated to the
mycelium-private experimental track upstream. The two apps coexist
on the same machine via distinct app identifiers, polkit actions,
and binary names.
Renames
- package + crate: mycellium-ui → mycellium-ui-private
- bundle identifier: tech.threefold.mycellium-ui-private
- daemon binary: mycelium-private (separate upstream release tarball)
- bootstrap wrapper: /usr/bin/mycellium-bootstrap-private
- polkit policy file + action id
Functional changes
- SidecarConfig.network_name field (UTF-8, 2..=64 bytes)
- start() refuses to spawn without a network name AND a 32-byte
key file at app_data_dir/network_key.bin; surfaces a clear
error rather than letting mycelium-private fail mid-startup
- network_key_status / generate / import / export / delete
commands; uses OS RNG (rand) and writes 0600
- empty default peers list (no Threefold seed for private overlays)
- new Settings → Private network panel: name input, key generate /
reveal-hex / import / delete, status indicator
Adapted bootstrap script kills both `mycelium` and
`mycelium-private` orphans (cross-clash on UDP/9650 + TCP/8990).
CI workflow + sidebar branding updated. The README explains the
divergence model and how to cherry-pick upstream fixes.
On Debian 13 (trixie), policykit-1 was retired and pkexec moved
into a standalone package. The previous Depends: policykit-1
made `apt install` fail with \"none of the choices are installable\"
on a fresh trixie VM.
Switch to Depends: pkexec | policykit-1 so apt can satisfy the
constraint on both:
- bookworm: policykit-1 (which provides /usr/bin/pkexec)
- trixie: pkexec (standalone)
Also updates SHA256SUMS and the install README accordingly.
Bundle of all phases (P0-P5) plus the diagnostic fixes from the
end-to-end test session: ephemeral peer/metrics ports, no reqwest
connection pool, short-poll inbox, expanded sidecar path probe.
Smoke-tested by exchanging messages with a second mycelium node in
a Docker container against the public Threefold seed
tcp://188.40.132.242:9651 — bidirectional delivery confirmed.
Built on Debian 12 (bookworm), x86_64, glibc-targeted but the
embedded mycelium binary is musl static.
