mycelium messaging sub system which is mentioned in docs is not working
Description
as mentioned in docs it was supporting message subsystem to make communication between machines. https://github.com/threefoldtech/mycelium/blob/master/docs/message.md
after installing mycelium on the machines and trying to make the machines to contact each others using mycelium address it does not work.
network used : devnet steps to produce
- make two machines and install mycelium on them
- try to use commands to send message to the other machine using the address
- it did not work
even receiving messages commands are not working
I can see from the logs that the message send and receive are BOTH trying to connect to port 8989 on localhost. Which means there must be something listening on that port locally.
the message features is a way to send an arbitrary message over mycelium network HENCE it requires to have mycelium running on both sender and receiver side. When you run send, the send actually connects to your local mycelium and push the message to destination. later the message is received by the end mycelium and then pushed to the receive process.
I am sure you can do this locally but also means you need to have mycelium running before you can use send/receive.
made a couple of deployments and installed mycelium on them the previous sending or receiving does not happen and even tried to send to my laptop which has the binary running but still the command stucks only
Both nodes must be able to reach eachother, please verify if this is the case by pinging them from one another
