dweb is a project for publishing and browsing of websites and dynamic web apps in a standard browser on the Autonomi peer-to-peer network. It includes:

• dweb-cli: a command line app for opening and publishing websites, as well as utility features
• dweb-server: a Rust library for embedding dweb features and REST server in desktop and mobile apps including Tauri apps. This enables the user to use the app, and access websites and other websites without installing dweb separately
• dweb-lib: a Rust crate containing core dweb features

In addition, dweb-server-tauri-app shows how to embed the dweb-server in a Tauri app:

dweb's capabilities and roadmap are described in the features section of the dweb-cli README.md.

This is an active project with lots of ideas and potential, but already supports publishing and viewing decentralised websites without the need to setup hosting or domains, where every version of every website will be available for the lifetime of the Autonomi network.

You can 'Get dweb' either by installing Rust or downloading dweb for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Bug reports and a note for developers: feature requests and issues should be opened on Codeberg here. The github repository is a mirror, only used to build releases.

You can download the latest binaries Windows, MacOS and Linux from here.

Or you can install using Rust:

cargo install dweb-cli

Notes:

• If you don't yet have Rust see Get Rust
• If cargo install dweb-cli fails, try cargo install --locked dweb-cli

To browse websites on Autonomi, you can open a default website (awesome) like this:

dweb

Notes:

• When the browser opens it reports an error but the page will load after the server has fetched the default website (awesome) from Autonomi.

dweb has many subcommands which you can view using dweb --help. Here's one which let's you go directly to a particular website:

dweb open gameboy

You can provide the address of a website on Autonomi (as a long hexadecimal string) or for some sites, a name such as 'awesome' or 'friends'.

The dweb library is a work in progress so expect breaking changes expecially in newly added features. The web publishing format and command line interface are more stable but breaking changes are still possible.

Each module contains its own README but the dweb-cli README (see Contents) provides the most comprehensive documentation at the present time, including a roadmap of possible features. Requests, feedback and bug reports are welcome - please open an issues on Codeberg here.
