Peer-to-Peer Database
https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db
Usage: orbitdb <command> <database>
Commands:
add <database> [<data>] Add an entry to an eventlog or feed
database. Can be only used on:
eventlog|feed
create <database> <type> Create a new database. Type can be one of:
eventlog|feed|docstore|keyvalue|counter
[aliases: new]
del <database> <key> Delete an entry from a database. Only valid
for data types of: docstore|keyvalue|feed
[aliases: delete, remove]
demo <name> Runs a sequence of commands as an example
[aliases: tour]
drop <database> yes Remove a database locally. This doesn't
remove data on other nodes that have the
removed database replicated.
[aliases: destroy]
get <database> [<search>] Query the database.
[aliases: query, search]
id Show information about current orbit-db id
import <file> <database> <schema> Import a CSV file to a document database
[aliases: csv]
inc <database> [<increment>] Increase the value of a counter database.
Default increment is 1. [aliases: increase]
info <database> Show information about a database
[aliases: status]
put <database> <document> Add a document to a document database
replicate <database> Replicate a database with peers.
set <database> <key> <value> Set a value of a key in KeyValue database
version Show information about current orbit-db
Options:
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
Data Directories and Paths
By default, orbit-db creates a data directory ./orbitdb under which metadata of databases is stored along with the actual data blocks saved in IPFS. The metadata can be found under ./orbitdb/QmFoo/database.orbitdb for each database. The data blocks saved in IPFS are in ./orbitdb/ipfs.
To use another orbit-db data directory (as opposed to the default ./orbitdb), set ORBITDB_PATH environment variable to point to the desired data directory. Eg. run the CLI with ORBITDB_PATH=/path/orbitdb orbitdb ...
To use orbit-db with an existing IPFS data repository, set the IPFS_PATH environment variable to the desired IPFS repository path. Eg. run the CLI with IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfs orbitdb ...
Demo
node ./src/cli/bin demo FRANK!

Replicate
For eventlog or feed type databases
Demo:
Run in the terminal:
orbitdb create a eventlog
Copy the address the above command output. Eg. /orbitdb/QmQxfgdjo3EQZiqBgt4uDiJNoLNedRNCZTHCquohxScsXc/a.
In a second terminal, run:
mkdir tmp/ && cd tmp/
orbitdb replicate <address> --progress
Eg. orbitdb replicate /orbitdb/QmQxfgdjo3EQZiqBgt4uDiJNoLNedRNCZTHCquohxScsXc/a --progress --dashboard
Output:
Replicating '/orbitdb/QmQxfgdjo3EQZiqBgt4uDiJNoLNedRNCZTHCquohxScsXc/a'
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0/0 | 0.0% | 00:00:00
In the first terminal, run:
orbitdb add <address> hi! -r --sync --interval 1000
Observe the database replicating to the second instance.
Output:
Replicating ██████████████████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 2/3 | 66.7% | 00:00:21

For docstore type databases
First, create a database and add an item to it:
$ node src/bin.js create /orbitdb/mydocstore docstore ~
/orbitdb/QmapaF6FmS3JgTQBKSpSZUdqgf2t8VUUvXcUCdPd5MaeQB/orbitdb/mydocstore
$ node src/bin.js put /orbitdb/QmapaF6FmS3JgTQBKSpSZUdqgf2t8VUUvXcUCdPd5MaeQB/orbitdb/mydocstore '{"name": "foo", "_id": 1}' --indexBy name
Added document 'foo'
You may now syncrhonise it with another. To do that, run replicate on the current directory as well as in the directory you want to synchronise with. Both should result in the same output:
$ node src/bin.js replicate /orbitdb/QmapaF6FmS3JgTQBKSpSZUdqgf2t8VUUvXcUCdPd5MaeQB/orbitdb/mydocstore --progress
