Jędrzej Stuczyński b429c64168 [demo] libp2p example with nym-sdk (#3763)
* imported libp2p to monorepo

* fixed vanilla ping example

* added libp2p client to workspace

* naively replaced dockerised client with the sdk

* moved libp2p code to sdk examples

* reduced number of dependencies required for libp2p example

* updated readmes

* added protobuf compiler to build dependencies

* added protoc dependency to readme for chat and ping examples

# rust-libp2p-nym
This repo contains an example implementation of a libp2p transport using the Nym mixnet. It relies on the ChainSafe's fork of libp2p: https://github.com/ChainSafe/rust-libp2p
## Requirements
- Rust 1.68.2
- `Protoc` protobuf compiler. On Debian/Ubuntu distributed via `apt` as `protobuf-compiler` & on Arch/Manjaro via AUR as `[python-protobuf-compiler](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-protobuf-compiler)`.
## Usage
To instantiate a libp2p swarm using the transport:
```rust
use libp2p::core::{muxing::StreamMuxerBox, transport::Transport};
use libp2p::swarm::{keep_alive::Behaviour, SwarmBuilder};
use libp2p::{identity, PeerId};
use nym_sdk::mixnet::MixnetClient;
use rust_libp2p_nym::transport::NymTransport;
use rust_libp2p_nym::test_utils::create_nym_client;
use std::error::Error;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
let local_key = identity::Keypair::generate_ed25519();
let local_peer_id = PeerId::from(local_key.public());
info!("Local peer id: {local_peer_id:?}");
let nym_id = rand::random::<u64>().to_string();
let nym_client = MixnetClient::connect_new().await.unwrap();
let transport = NymTransport::new(nym_client, local_key.clone()).await?;
let _swarm = SwarmBuilder::with_tokio_executor(
transport
.map(|a, _| (a.0, StreamMuxerBox::new(a.1)))
.boxed(),
Behaviour::default(),
local_peer_id,
)
.build();
Ok(())
}
```
## Ping example
To run the libp2p ping example, run the following in one terminal:
```bash
cargo run --example libp2p_ping
# Local peer id: PeerId("12D3KooWLukBu6q2FerWPFhFFhiYaJkhn2sBmceh9UCaXe6hJf5D")
# Listening on "/nym/FhtkzizQg2JbZ19kGkRKXdjV2QnFbT5ww88ZAKaD4nkF.7Remi4UVYzn1yL3qYtEcQBGh6tzTYxMdYB4uqyHVc5Z4@62F81C9GrHDRja9WCqozemRFSzFPMecY85MbGwn6efve"
```
In another terminal, run ping again, passing the Nym multiaddress printed previously:
```bash
cargo run --example libp2p_ping -- /nym/FhtkzizQg2JbZ19kGkRKXdjV2QnFbT5ww88ZAKaD4nkF.7Remi4UVYzn1yL3qYtEcQBGh6tzTYxMdYB4uqyHVc5Z4@62F81C9GrHDRja9WCqozemRFSzFPMecY85MbGwn6efve
# Local peer id: PeerId("12D3KooWNsuRwG6DHnFJCDR8B3zdvja6xLcfnbtKCsQWJ8eppyWC")
# Dialed /nym/FhtkzizQg2JbZ19kGkRKXdjV2QnFbT5ww88ZAKaD4nkF.7Remi4UVYzn1yL3qYtEcQBGh6tzTYxMdYB4uqyHVc5Z4@62F81C9GrHDRja9WCqozemRFSzFPMecY85MbGwn6efve
# Listening on "/nym/2oiRW5C9ivyF3Bo3Gpm4H9EqSKH7A6GpcrRRwVSDVUQ9.EajgCnhzimsP6KskUwKcEj8VFCmHR78s2J6FHWcZ4etR@Fo4f4SQLdoyoGkFae5TpVhRVoXCF8UiypLVGtGjujVPf"
```
You should see that the nodes connected and pinged each other:
```bash
# Mar 30 22:56:36.400 INFO ping: BehaviourEvent: Event { peer: PeerId("12D3KooWGf2oYd6U2nrLzfDrN9zxsjSQjPsMh2oDJPUQ9hiHMNtf"), result: Ok(Ping { rtt: 1.06836675s }) }
```
```bash
# Mar 30 22:56:35.595 INFO ping: BehaviourEvent: Event { peer: PeerId("12D3KooWMd5ak31DXuZq7x1JuFSR6toA5RDQrPaHrfXEhy7vqqpC"), result: Ok(Pong) }
```
In order to run the ping example with vanilla libp2p, which uses tcp, pass the
`--features libp2p-vanilla` flag to the example and follow the instructions on the
rust-libp2p project as usual.
```bash
RUST_LOG=ping=debug cargo run --example ping --features libp2p-vanilla
```
```bash
RUST_LOG=ping=debug cargo run --example ping --features libp2p-vanilla -- "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/$PORT"
```
