Decentralized message broker for public groups in Sphinx. Anyone can run a sphinx-tribes server, to route group messages.

sphinx-tribes clients can be sphinx-relay nodes, apps, websites, or IoT devices.

sphinx-tribes is an MQTT broker that any node can subscribe to. Message topics always have two parts: {receiverPubKey}/{groupUUID}. Only the owner of the group is allowed to publish to it: all messages from group members must be submitted to the owner as an Lightning keysend payment. The group uuid is a timestamp signed by the owner.

Authentication is handled by sphinx-auth

docker build --no-cache -t sphinx-tribes .

docker tag sphinx-tribes sphinxlightning/sphinx-tribes:x

docker push sphinxlightning/sphinx-tribes:x
