Powered by Koii - Over 60,000 community devices at your fingertips
In this series of workshops, we'll get you up and running to build your first community-hosted application in no time.
This sandbox will take you through a few phases of development to try using Koii Tasks at all levels.
-
Deploy Locally on your Koii Task Node to Debug and Iterate Rapidly
-
Deploy to Docker to test audits and incentive mechanisms
-
Launch on the Community Cloud
In this project, we'll start by demonstrating the key features of the Node compute environment and after some local testing, we'll harden our incentive mechanism and deploy it to the Koii cloud.
Koii is a network of people, using their nodes to support a diverse ecosystem of products and services, all operated by community members like you.
Decentralized Applications on the Koii Cloud run in modules called 'Tasks', and anyone can join by installing a Koii Node, a Tool sort of like a document-editor or web browser which reads and operates Tasks instead of documents or web pages.
At the end of these tutorials, you'll be ready to build your first Koii Application that other community members can then run on their Node.
In the first lesson, we'll set up a Koii Node and start debugging an existing Task.
This lesson will teach you:
- How to debug tasks live with your Node
- How Tasks run in the node
- How to connect to your node
- How to build your Task Module and ship it for production
Once we've got the basics down, it's time to move on to some standard use cases for decentralized applications.
To get started, we'll build out a simple file server and add some HTTP server endpoints. Once that's online, we will deploy our app onto a group of nodes with docker, and have them send a file around to eachother.
With this step online, we can now start to add audit mechanisms and incentives.
Audits keep things secure, allowing nodes to verify eachother's work.
Incentives allow the Task to make payments, either in KOII, USDC, or another token (your own, if you dare!) and reward nodes that pass audits.
with the basics implemented, this lesson will cover how to add authorized accounts, verify signatures, and manage general authentication and data authority issues.
Once everything is tightened down, it's time to get your community and start running nodes. We'll get you a small grant in KOII to fund your task bounty, deploy the task, and run it on your node.
After your task is live, it's time to consider improving your work.
In this final lesson, we'll cover some tips on debugging, multi-node simulations, and how to publish an update to your Task.
