rns.recipes

I have the following problem / question:
I have rnsd and lxmd as separate services, using the same indentity though.
I start rnsd with auto discovery enabled. rnsd don't start properly because the lxmd for auto discovery is missing. rnstatus don't find a shared instance.
After starting lxmd rnsd seems to connect to the rns instance established by lxmd, because it gives in the log:
[Warning] Started rnsd version 1.5.7 connected to another shared local instance, this is probably NOT what you want!
Is it possible to configure rnsd and lxmd when auto discovery is enabled, so that lxmd uses the rnsd instance which was started first?

You do not need lxmd running for auto-discovery to work. You just need the LXMF module installed (it uses the stamp verification from LXMF for discovery stamps).

• Make sure the lxmf module is installed in the same environment you run rnsd in.
• Start rnsd
• Start lxmd (if you actually need/want it, otherwise skip this step)

just have systemd/openrc/whatever run rnsd first
After: lxmd.service should do the trick

I'm not so familar with the borders of python environments. Does this count as same environment? Or do I have to get lxmd and rnsd under the the venvs?

/home/reticulum/.local/bin/lxmd
/home/reticulum/.local/share/pipx/venvs/lxmf/bin/lxmd
/home/reticulum/.local/share/pipx/venvs/nomadnet/bin/lxmd

/usr/local/bin/rnsd (sym link to below)
/home/reticulum/.local/bin/rnsd

I had problem like this, rnsd would not start without lxmf module (both installed by pipx), so I maked lxmf package somewhat mounded insde rns package by: pipx inject rns lxmf and it works, its better than previous hack (something like source lxmf/bin/activate befor running rnsd)

Yes, thank you thank you for the hint. I also thought about to inject the lxmf package into the rns venv. And it worked! Now rnsd runs on its own, as Mark has precicted.
