Point Network

Point Network is an implementation of decentralized internet, also known as web 3.0. Learn how it is designed to take control of your data away from nation states and corporations and give it back to you.

This repository contains the source code of the core of Point Network. It contains the core node implementation as well as docker configuration for running demos of the network on your local computer to test this out.

Then watch for test container logs and exit status

To run end-to-end outside docker container:

docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yaml build && docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yaml up -d`

You need to manually deploy the blog contract in the point_node container. Then you can run the tests this way:

npm run build && NODE_ENV=teste2e NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 TEST_POINT_NODE=127.0.0.1 npm run test:docker
