### 🌍 Setting up a Planetary Relay Node (Bootstrap Node)
If you want to share Planetary Memory across the internet (WAN) instead of just your local network, you need to host a "Bootstrap Node". This acts as a meeting point for Farnsworth agents.
#### 1. Requirements
* A VPS or server with a public IP (e.g., AWS EC2, DigitalOcean Droplet, or a Raspberry Pi with port forwarding).
* Python 3.10+ installed.
#### 2. Setup
Upload the `network/bootstrap_node.py` script to your server.
```bash
# On your server
mkdir farnsworth-relay
# (Copy bootstrap_node.py here)
pip install websockets
```
#### 3. Run the Node
```bash
python bootstrap_node.py --port 8888
```
You should see: `🚀 Starting Bootstrap Node on 0.0.0.0:8888`.
#### 4. Connect Your Agents
On your local Farnsworth machine (and your friends' machines), edit the `.env` file created by the setup wizard:
```ini
# .env
ENABLE_PLANETARY_MEMORY=true
PLANETARY_USE_P2P=true
# Add this line:
FARNSWORTH_BOOTSTRAP_PEER=ws://<YOUR_SERVER_IP>:8888
```
Restart Farnsworth. Your local agent will now introduce itself to the Bootstrap Node and can exchange Skill Vectors with anyone else connected to it!
> **Security Note**: The current bootstrap node is public. Anyone knowing the IP can join. For private networks, use a VPN or add authentication logic to `bootstrap_node.py`.
