Screenshots
Windows was working but is not currently being tested. AV is working but the video is garbled: we're unsure of handling the AV devices from the commandline. We need to get a working echobot that supports SOCKS5; we were working on one in https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper
Forked
This hard-forked from the dead https://github.com/toxygen-project/toxygen
next_gen
branch.
See ToDo.md to the current ToDo list.
IRC Weechat
You can have a weechat
console so that you can have IRC and jabber in a window as well as Tox.
There's a copy of qweechat in https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/qweechat
that you must install first, which was backported to PyQt5 then qtpy
and integrated into toxygen. Follow the normal instructions for
adding a relay
to weechat
/relay add weechat 9000
/relay start weechat
or
weechat -r '/relay add weechat 9000;/relay start weechat'
and use the Plugins -> Weechat Console to start weechat under Toxygen. Then use the File/Connect menu item of the Console to connect to weechat.
Weechat has a Jabber plugin to enable XMPP:
/python load jabber.el
/help jabber
so you can have Tox, IRC and XMPP in the same application! See docs/ToxygenWeechat.md
Install
To install read the requirements.txt and look at the comments; there are things that need installing by hand or decisions to be made on supported alternatives.
https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper needs packaging on pypi as it is a dependency. Just download and install it from https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper The same with https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/qweechat
This is being ported to Qt6 using qtpy https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy
It now runs on PyQt5 and PyQt6, and may run on PySide2 and PySide6 - YMMV.
You will be able to choose between them by setting the environment variable
QT_API
to one of: pyqt5 pyqt6 pyside2 pyside6
.
It's currently tested mainly on PyQt5.
To install it, look in the Makefile for the install target and type
make install
You should set the PIP_EXE_MSYS and PYTHON_EXE_MSYS variables and it does
${PIP_EXE_MSYS} --python ${PYTHON_EXE_MSYS} install \
--no-deps \
--target ${PREFIX}/lib/python${PYTHON_MINOR}/site-packages/ \
--upgrade .
and installs into PREFIX which is usually /usr/local
Updates
Up-to-date code is on https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen
Tox works over Tor, and the c-toxcore library can leak DNS requests due to a 6-year old known security issue: https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/issues/469 but toxygen looksup addresses before calling c-toxcore. This also allows us to use onion addresses in the DHTnodes.json file. Still for anonymous communication we recommend having a TCP and UDP firewall in place.
Although Tox works with multi-user group chat, there are no checks against impersonation of a screen nickname, so you may not be chatting with the person you think. For the Toxic client, the (closed) issue is: https://github.com/JFreegman/toxic/issues/622#issuecomment-1922116065 Solving this might best be done with a solution to MultiDevice q.v.
The Tox project does not follow semantic versioning of its main structures in C so the project may break the underlying ctypes wrapper at any time; it's not possible to use Tox version numbers to tell what the API will be. The last git version this code was tested with is ``1623e3ee5c3a5837a92f959f289fcef18bfa9c959``` of Feb 12 10:06:37 2024. In which case you'll have to go into the tox.py file in https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper to fix it yourself.
MultiDevice
Work on this project is suspended until the MultiDevice problem is solved. Fork me!
