Services and addresses: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:50, 11 September 2026

Every address for the ScotMesh node in one place. This is the page to copy from; each service is explained on its own page.

Entry points

Way in	Address	Notes
TCP	`rns.scotmesh.net`, port `4242`	The normal route. Interface type `TCPClientInterface`. See Connecting to ScotMesh.
I2P	`a3pswrtvpuro62ijhb7lwdt2n6aqgajglof27ynbonynmolzlz7q.b32.i2p`	For networks that block outbound connections. Interface type `I2PInterface`. See Access over I2P.
LoRa	ScotMesh 433 or ScotMesh 868 radio profile	Within range of a gateway only. See RNode.

Services

Service	Address	Reached from
Chat hub (RRC), room `scotmesh`	`004e5a15da221d9a236b0e8d74195f13`	MeshChatX, Ratspeak, rrc-tui, rrc-gui, WeeChat, Eridanus. See The chat room.
LXMF propagation node	`c283b754e0acc11ce48d2f5e29167e0c`	Sideband, MeshChatX, Nomad Network, usually picked automatically. See Propagation node.
Nomad Network node	`10a839df2c50635bcb0c8a299b9ca0f8`	Nomad Network, MeshChatX. Entry page `10a839df2c50635bcb0c8a299b9ca0f8:/page/index.mu`. See Nomad Network.
Transport instance	`20b962cd814444f7812e409e7c47f319`	Not something you connect to: it is the node's own identity, and what appears in `rnpath` output and on node maps. Announced as “ScotMesh Backbone”.

Radio profiles

Every radio on the network must use exactly these settings; see RNode for why.

	ScotMesh 433	ScotMesh 868
Frequency	433.775 MHz	867.500 MHz
Bandwidth	125 kHz	125 kHz
Spreading factor	8	9
Coding rate	4/5	4/5
TX power	7 dBm	22 dBm

Which addresses could change

The hostname and port are stable.
The destination addresses (chat hub, propagation node, Nomad Network node, transport instance) are derived from identity keys the node keeps backed up. They would only change if a key were lost or deliberately replaced, and we would say so here and on rns.scotmesh.net.
The I2P address is derived from a random key. It is backed up too, but of all the addresses it is the one most likely to change one day, so check here if it stops working.
