== How To Connect To The Public Test Grid ==

The test grid is subject to being updated at random times, so compatibility
is likely to break without notice. Also note that many upgrades require all
files and directories to be flushed, especially as storage formats change.

The test grid is currently running an 1.0.0-compatible release (allmydata-tahoe: 1.8.0) (see "My versions" on the welcome page for the current version of the web gateway server).

After setting up the code according to [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/quickstart.html docs/quickstart.html], edit the following lines into its tahoe.cfg file:

{{{
#!html
    <table border="1px solid black" border-collapse="collapse">
    <tr>
        <td>
            [node]<br>nickname = <b><i>Another nickname than "None"</i></b> 
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            [client]<br>
            introducer.furl = <b><i>pb://tin57bdenwkigkujmh6rwgztcoh7ya7t@pubgrid.tahoe-lafs.org:50528/introducer</i></b><br>
            helper.furl = <b><i>pb://sp26qyqclbwjv6lgqdxik5lfdlxrkpnz@skulls.nodes.soultcer.com:44519/io4e5utfosaxibnm7nk6viqjj6i4yd2g</i></b><br>
            stats_gatherer.furl = <b><i>pb://cmmth6b3lsj2orir3u5yqwwae7xfmxxq@pubgrid.tahoe-lafs.org:51424/jdoyd3kke4zqkmmvlhveb57xsw623kh5</i></b>
        </td>
   </tr>
</table>
}}}



Then run ''tahoe start''.

We created a shared public directory: feel free to use it for experimentation -- once your node is up and listening on port 3456,[http://127.0.0.1:3456/uri/URI:DIR2:ctmtx2awdo4xt77x5xxaz6nyxm:n5t546ddvd6xlv4v6se6sjympbdbvo7orwizuzl42urm73sxazqa/ this URL] should give you access to that directory.
