htree follow npub1...                   # Follow user
htree following                         # List followed users

# Daemon
htree start                             # Start P2P daemon

htree start --daemon --log-file /var/log/hashtree.log
htree stop                              # Stop background daemon
htree status                            # Check daemon status

Social Graph

The daemon embeds nostrdb to maintain a local social graph. On startup it crawls follow lists (kind 3) from Nostr relays and uses follow distance to control write access to your Blossom server -- no allow-lists needed for people in your social circle.

The social graph API is available at /api/socialgraph/distance/:pubkey.

Configuration

Config file: ~/.hashtree/config.toml

[blossom]
read_servers = ["https://cdn.iris.to", "https://hashtree.iris.to"]
write_servers = ["https://hashtree.iris.to"]

[nostr]
relays = ["wss://relay.damus.io", "wss://nos.lol"]
socialgraph_root = "npub1..."   # defaults to own key
crawl_depth = 2                 # BFS depth for follow graph crawl
max_write_distance = 3          # max follow distance for write access
