Roadmap

Client side relay

From, e.g., the pipboy Electron app, send the pip boy data on to a remote server we'll call a beacon.

• Generate public and private key pairs for sending data to beacon
• Encrypt the data
• Launch a fully configured beacon server that uses the public/private key pairs appropriately to accept data
• Send data on to the beacon

Server side beacon

The beacon itself is all about ease of running and providing data. Every user runs their own beacon.

• Boot up with configured public/private key pairs
• Opens up a port specifically for authenticated operations
• Receieve raw TCP data on the authenticated channel
• Publish the raw data on a TCP port
• Provide JSON endpoints for others to make mashups
• Provide both Server Sent Events and a long polling JSON API
