Secondary devices used for setup
One thing that's important to remember is that HoloPorts do not have a user interface by themselves.pic.twitter.com/61AiTTqkRAShow this thread -
People will be using
#HoloPort in a variety of circumstances, so we wanted to have a setup process that would work anywhere and wouldn't presume specific peripherals or use of tools. We are therefore having users handle setup through their existing devices#beyourselfpic.twitter.com/u5Epsw74DZShow this thread -

Ensuring that our approach is not in conflict with our goal of a distributed internet—a smartphone app, for example, would be subject to the control of the app stores.
If it became unavailable in the store for any reason, where would HoloPort admins be?Show this thread -
We wanted to make sure that our setup process answered all these concerns

(1/2) If you're the admin of a new HoloPort, go to the hosting website (link will be shared in the future) where you will generate a unique config file

(2/2) Copy that file into your USB drive and plug it into the HoloPort. If you are using a virtual machine, you'll be able to do this through a command line tool <--- & bob's your uncle!pic.twitter.com/K8nO0wpEhSShow this thread -
(1/2) After you power up, the HoloPort will automatically detect the drive and go through the setup process behind the scenes.

(2/2) This includes not only things like generating your public and #privatekeys, but also registering with our internal DNS and VPN so that our routing services can connect web users for hosted hApps.pic.twitter.com/Gzm5mlyT8xShow this thread -
During that process, you’ll be emailed a verification link—click it. You will be redirected to a waiting page on your browser indicating that your HoloPort is being registered.pic.twitter.com/Fwek6uFFp9Show this thread -
Once the setup process is complete, you will be able to connect to your HoloPort’s admin UI to establish a secure connection and receive an email containing a link to your device for future reference

From there, you can manage your HoloPort as described in the previous Dev Pulse

A note about decentralization
(1/3) We need to take a moment to highlight the way Holo hosting works, so that HoloPort owners understand what's involved.Show this thread -
(2/3) HoloPorts connect through the regular internet and form distributed networks with nodes on other HoloPorts and those running as native Holochain instances.
Show this thread -
(3/3) However, routing traffic from HoloPorts to Holo’s web users happens through Holo’s private network, in order to comply with
#KYC and other requirements. This is, in part, why we view Holo hosting as a bridge between the centralized & a fully distributed internet.pic.twitter.com/YwNuyHkkycShow this thread -
so What's next?? We hope this process makes sense & works for you. We're looking to improve it however we can—among other things, we're investigating ways to make our setup approach more mobile friendly. In the future, we’ll be sharing screenshots of the admin interface
