# Lox Distributor
2022-11-15 22:05:02 -05:00
2023-03-15 15:42:04 -04:00
The Lox distributor receives resources from [rdsys](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys) and writes them to [Lox
BridgeLines](https://git-crysp.uwaterloo.ca/iang/lox/src/master/src/bridge_table.rs#L42). Concurrently, it receives and responds to requests from [Lox clients](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/lox-wasm).
## Configure rdsys stream
A test `config.json` is included for testing on a local instance of rdsys. This
can be edited to correspond to the desired types of resources and endpoints.
## Test Run
For testing purposes, you will need a running instance of rdsys as well as a running Lox client.
### Run rdsys locally
First clone rdsys from [here](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys) then change into the backend directory:
```
cd rdsys/cmd/backend
```
Finally run rdsys:
```
./backend --config config.json
```
### Run Lox Distributor locally
Simply run `cargo run -- config.json` :)
### Run a Lox client locally
First clone lox-wasm from [here](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/lox-wasm). Follow the instructions in the [README](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/lox-wasm/-/blob/main/README.md) to build and test the Lox client.
