**** jNode users F.A.Q. created at 11.01.2014 ****   
   **** Updated at 13.02.2014 ****   
      
   Q: What is jNode?   
   A: This is a Fidonet Technical Network ( FTN ) software platform which covers   
   typical needs of Fidonet node.   
      
   Q: Do you have a Wiki?   
   A: https://github.com/kreon/jnode/wiki   
      
   Q: Where can I get jNode?   
   A1: For persons whom know what is git and maven: git clone git:/   
   github.com/kreon/jnode.git && mvn package   
   A2: Stable releases: https://github.com/kreon/jnode/releases   
   A3: Unstable (nighly builds): https://manjago.ci.cloudbees.com/job/jnode/   
     > jnode-1.0-SNAPSHOT-release-multidb-xxxxxxxx.zip   
      
   Q: How do I install jNode?   
   A1: Just read docs/*   
   A2: Typical install: Install JRE 1.7, download & unpack -multidb- release,   
   edit etc/jnode.xxx.conf where xxx is "win" if you're using Windows or OS/2 and   
   "nix" if you're running Linux/BSD/Mac OS X, run bin/run.***, look for web   
   interface password and configure your node via web.   
      
   Q: Can I read netmail & echomail via jNode?   
   A: No. jNode stores all data in SQL Database and there's no Fidonet editors   
   could read databases.   
      
   Q: ...   
   A1: Create "technical" point and rewrite rules to forward all .0 netmail to   
   this point.   
   A2: Since 1.0 version jNode automatically creates technical point .1 for each   
   new install.   
      
   Q: How do I create a "rewrite" ?   
   A: Use web interface. Remember that Origin fields are regular expressions, but   
   new fields is not.    
   A2: Exampples:   
   Forward all mail from 2:5020/848 to 2:5020/848.1:   
   1	NETMAIL/true	^2:5020\/848$ -> 2:5020/848.1	* -> *	* -> *	* -> *	* -> *   
   Rewrite netmail from technical point to areafix of uplink.   
   10	NETMAIL/true	^2:5020\/848\.1$ -> 2:5020/848	* -> *	^2:5020\/848$ ->   
   2:5020/4441	afix4441 -> AreaFix	* -> password   
      
   Q: Does it works on XXX?   
   A: It should works on every system has Java 1.7+ implementation, but really   
   nobody knows.   
   It was tested on Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux (various) and OS/2 ( special   
   build for OS/2 JVM )   
      
   Q: On what SQL database does it works?   
   A: It may work with all databases have jdbc driver. I tested mySQL5,   
   PostgreSQL9 and H2 1.3. PostgeSQL is the best IMHO.   
      
   Q: I don't know SQL. How should I do  ?   
   A: Ask into this echoarea :-)   
   A2: Below you can find some queries.   
      
   Subscribe link to echoarea:   
   INSERT INTO subscription SELECT l.id AS lid,e.id AS eid FROM links l,echoarea   
   e WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT link_id FROM subscription WHERE link_id=l.id AND   
   echoarea_id=e.id) AND e.name='echo_name' AND l.ftn_address='link address';   
   Remove "AND l.ftn_address=..." to subscribe ALL your links to that echo;   
      
   List of echoareas without subscription:   
   SELECT e.name FROM echoarea e WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM subscription WHERE   
   echoarea_id=e.id)=X;   
   Where X is "0" for echoareas without subscription at all and "1" for echoareas   
   with only one (uplink?) subscription.   
      
   List of echoareas are subscribed to this link:   
   SELECT e.name FROM echoarea e RIGHT JOIN subscription s ON (s.ec   
   oarea_id=e.id) RIGHT JOIN links l ON (l.id=s.link_id) WHERE l.ft   
   _address='link address';   
      
   List of links are subscribed this echoarea:   
   SELECT l.ftn_address FROM echoarea e RIGHT JOIN subscription s ON   
   (s.echoarea_id=e.id) RIGHT JOIN links l ON (l.id=s.link_id) WHERE   
   e.name='echoarea';   
      
      
   Q: I've found a bug!   
   A: 1. Send me logfile ( with log.level = 5 if possible )   
      2. Write to this echoarea with bug description.   
   A2: Create new issue there: https://github.com/kreon/jnode/issues   
      
   Q: I want to help your project. What can I do?   
   A: We are needed in:   
     - Translators ( English and other languages )   
     - Java Developers   
     - Web Designers ( for web module development )   
     - Contributors whom are able to build and support jNode on 3rd-party   
   resources.   
     - Testers   
   A2: Also you can always send us some money :-)   
      
   P.S. Feel free mail me about mistakes or additionals in this F.A.Q., Im not   
   very familliar with English.
