-## BridgeDB [](https://travis-ci.org/isislovecruft/bridgedb) [](https://coveralls.io/r/isislovecruft/bridgedb)
-
-BridgeDB is a collection of backend servers used to distribute
-[Tor Bridges](https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges). It currently consists
-of a webserver with [an HTTPS interface](https://bridges.torproject.org), an
-email responder, and an SQLite database.
-
-#### What are Tor Bridges?
-[Tor Bridges](https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges) are special Tor relays
-which are not listed in the public relay directory. They are used to help
-circumvent [censorship](https://ooni.torproject.org) by providing users with
-connections to the public relays in the Tor network.
-
-Tor Bridges are different from normal relays in another important way: they
-can run what are called *Pluggable* *Transports*.
-
-#### What's a Pluggable Transport?
-A
-[Pluggable Transport](https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html.en)
-is a program which is *pluggable* â?? meaning that it is meant to work with lots
-of other anonymity and censorship circumvention software, not just Tor â?? and
-is a *transport* â?? meaning that it transports your internet traffic, usually
-in a way which makes it look different. For example,
-[Obfsproxy](https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en) is a
-Pluggable Transport which disguises your traffic by adding an obfuscating
-layer of encryption.
-
-#### So how do I use this?
-Well, probably, you don't. But if you're looking for bridges, you can use
-[the web interface](https://bridges.torproject.org) of the BridgeDB instance
-deployed by the Tor Project, which has instructions on getting the Pluggable
-Transports-capable Tor Browser Bundle, as well as instructions for getting
-extra Bridges.
-
-
-## Maintainer Setup
-
-### Dependencies and installation
-BridgeDB requires the following OS-level dependencies:
-
- - python>=2.7
- - python-dev
- - build-essential
- - libgpgme11
- - libgpgme11-dev
- - OpenSSL>=1.0.1e
- - [SQLite3](http://www.maxmind.com/app/python)
- - [MaxMind GeoIP](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolocation_landing)
- - libgeoip-dev
- - geoip-database
- - [python-setuptools](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools)
-
-As well as any Python dependencies in requirements.txt.
-
-### Deploying BridgeDB
-
-BridgeDB should work with or without a Python virtualenv.
-
- - Install Python 2.7, and other OS-level dependencies. On Debian, you can do:
-
- sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl python python-dev \
- python-setuptools sqlite3 libgpgme11 libgpgme11-dev libgeoip-dev \
- geoip-database
-
- - Install Pip 1.3.1 or later. Debian has this version, but if for some reason
- that or a newer version isn't available, the easiest way to install a newer
- Pip is to use the Pip development teams's [getpip
- script](https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py):
-
- wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
- sudo python get-pip.py
-
- - (virtualenv installs only) Use Pip to install virtualenv and
- [virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org):
-
- sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
-
- - (virtualenv installs only) Configure virtualenvwrapper and create a
- virtualenv for Bridgedb:
-
- WORKON_HOME=${HOME}/.virtualenvs
- export WORKON_HOME
- mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME
- source $(which virtualenvwrapper.sh)
- git clone https://git.torproject.org/bridgedb.git && cd bridgedb
- mkvirtualenv -a $PWD -r requirements.txt --unzip-setuptools \
- --setuptools bridgedb
-
- From now on, to use BridgeDB's virtualenv, just do ```$ workon bridgedb```
- (after sourcing virtualenvwrapper.sh, as before). To exit the virtualenv
- without exiting the shell, do ```$ deactivate```.
-
- - (virtualenv installs only) To install, set PYTHONPATH to include the root
- directory of the virtualenv:
-
- export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:${VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
-
- - Then proceed as usual:
-
- python setup.py install --record installed-files.txt
-
-### Testing BridgeDB
-
-To create a bunch of fake bridge descriptors to test BridgeDB, do:
-
- bridgedb mock [-n NUMBER_OF_DESCRIPTORS]
-
-Then to run unittests, see the ```bridgedb test``` and ```bridgedb trial```
-commands.
-
-### Enabling additional features:
-
-#### Translations
-
-**Using New Translations**: This should be done when newly completed
- translations are available in Transifex.
-
-Piece of cake. Running ```maint/get-completed-translations``` will take care
-of cloning *only* the ```bridgedb_completed``` branch of Tor's
-[translations repo](https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git) and placing
-all the updated files in their correct locations.
-
-**Requesting Translations for Altered/Added Source Code**: This should be done
- whenever any of the strings requiring translation -- _("they are formatted
- like this") -- are changed, or new ones are added.
- See ```lib/bridgedb/strings.py```.
-
-Translations for Tor Project repos are kept
-[in a separate repo](https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git). You'll
-need to extract the strings from BridgeDB's source code into .pot templates,
-and place these .po files into the ```translation``` repo in the
-```bridgedb``` branch. After than the .po files should be put into Transifex
-(don't ask me how this worksâ?¦) and translated. After the translations are
-complete, the finished .po files should be placed into the
-```bridgedb_completed``` branch.
-
- - To extract all strings from BridgeDB's source:
-
- python setup.py extract_messages --input-dirs ./lib/bridgedb/templates
-
- A .pot file will be created in ./i18n/templates/bridgedb.pot
-
- - Initialise catalogs for each desired language:
-
- python setup.py init_catalog -l LANG
-
- where ```LANG``` is the 2 or 4 letter country-code, eg. 'es'. If you've
- already initialised a particular language, do instead:
-
- python setup.py update_catalog
-
-
-#### Enabling HTTPS
-Create a self-signed certificate with:
-
- scripts/make-ssl-cert
-
-Or, place an existing certificate in the path specified in bridgedb.conf by
-the ```HTTPS_CERT_FILE``` option, and a private key where ```HTTPS_KEY_FILE```
-points to. The defaults are 'cert' and 'privkey.pem', respectively.
-
-#### CAPTCHAs
-
-BridgeDB has two ways to use CAPTCHAs on webpages. The first uses reCaptcha_,
-an external Google service (this requires an account with them), which
-BridgeDB fetches the CAPTCHAs images from for each incoming request from a
-client. The second method uses a local cache of pre-made CAPTCHAs, created by
-scripting Gimp using gimp-captcha_. The latter cannot easily be run on
-headless server, unfortunately, because Gimp requires an X server to be
-installed.
-
-.. _reCaptcha: https://www.google.com/recaptcha
-.. gimp-capthca: https://github.com/isislovecruft/gimp-captcha
-
-##### reCaptcha
-To enable fetching CAPTCHAs from the reCaptcha API server, set these options
-in bridgedb.conf:
-
- RECAPTCHA_ENABLED
- RECAPTCHA_PUB_KEY
- RECAPTCHA_SEC_KEY
-
-##### gimp-captcha
-To enable using a local cache of CAPTCHAs, set the following options::
-
- GIMP_CAPTCHA_ENABLED
- GIMP_CAPTCHA_DIR
- GIMP_CAPTCHA_HMAC_KEYFILE
- GIMP_CAPTCHA_RSA_KEYFILE
-
-#### GnuPG email signing
-Add these two options to your bridgedb.conf::
-
- EMAIL_GPG_SIGNING_ENABLED
- EMAIL_GPG_SIGNING_KEY
-
-The former may be either True or False, and the latter must point to the
-ascii-armored private key file. The keyfile must not be passphrase protected.
-
-#### Preventing already-blocked bridges from being distributed
-Uncomment or add ```COUNTRY_BLOCK_FILE``` to your bridgedb.conf. This file
-should contain one bridge entry per line, in the format:
-
- fingerprint <bridge fingerprint> country-code <country code>
-
-If the ```COUNTRY_BLOCK_FILE``` file is present, bridgedb will filter blocked
-bridges from the responses it gives to clients requesting bridges.
-
-#### Updating the SQL schema
-Make sure that SQLite3 is installed. (You should have installed it already
-during the setup and installation stage.) To update, do:
-
- sqlite3 path/to/bridgedist.db.sqlite
-
-Enter the following commands at the ```sqlite>``` prompt:
-
- CREATE TABLE BlockedBridges ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, hex_key, blocking_country);
- CREATE INDEX BlockedBridgesBlockingCountry on BlockedBridges(hex_key);
- CREATE TABLE WarnedEmails ( email PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, when_warned);
- CREATE INDEX WarnedEmailsWasWarned on WarnedEmails ( email );
- REPLACE INTO Config VALUES ( 'schema-version', 2 );
-
-
-## Running BridgeDB
-
-To run BridgeDB, simply make any necessary changes to bridgedb.conf, and
-do: ```bridgedb```.
-
-And remember that all files/directories in ```bridgedb.conf``` are assumed
-relative to the runtime directory. By default, BridgeDB uses the current
-working directory; you can, however specify an a different runtime directory::
-
- bridgedb -r /srv/bridges.torproject.org/run
-
-Make sure that the files and directories referred to in bridgedb.conf
-exist. However, many of them, if not found, will be touched on disk so that
-attempts to read/write from/to them will not raise excessive errors.
-
-When you have new lists of bridges from the Bridge Authority, replace the old
-files and do::
-
- bridgedb --reload
-
-Or just give it a SIGHUP::
-
- kill -s SIGHUP `cat .../run/bridgedb.pid`
-
-#### To extract bucket files of all unallocated bridges:
-Edit the configuration file value ```FILE_BUCKETS``` according to your
-needs. For example, the following is a possible configuration:
-
- FILE_BUCKETS = { "name1": 10, "name2": 15, "foobar": 3 }
-
-This configuration for buckets would result in 3 files being created for
-bridge distribution: name1-2010-07-17.brdgs, name2-2010-07-17.brdgs and
-foobar-2010-07-17.brdgs. The first file would contain 10 bridges from
-BridgeDB's 'unallocated' pool. The second file would contain 15 bridges from
-the same pool and the third one similarly 3 bridges. These files can then be
-handed out to trusted parties via mail or fed to other distribution mechanisms
-such as Twitter.
-
-To dump all buckets to their files, send BridgeDB a ```SIGUSR1``` signal by
-doing::
-
- kill -s SIGUSR1 `cat .../run/bridgedb.pid`
-
-#### To use with HTTPS:
-Just connect to the appropriate port.
-
-#### To use with email: Any mail sent to the email port with a destination
-username as defined by the EMAIL_USERNAME configuration option (default is
-'bridge', e.g. bridges@...) and sent from an ```@riseup.net```,
-```@gmail.com```, or ```@yahoo.com``` address (by default, configured with the
-EMAIL_DOMAINS option).

+================
+Testing BridgeDB
+================
+
+Before running to any of BridgeDB's test suites, make sure you have the
+additional dependencies in the Pip requirements file,
+``.test.requirements.txt`` installed::
+
+ pip install -r .test.requirements.txt
+
+To create a bunch of fake bridge descriptors to test BridgeDB, do::
+
+ bridgedb mock [-n NUMBER_OF_DESCRIPTORS]
+
+And finally, to run the test suites, do::
+
+ make coverage
+
+If you just want to run the tests, and don't care about code coverage
+statistics, see the ``bridgedb trial`` and ``bridgedb test`` commands.
+
+
+================
+Running BridgeDB
+================
+
+To run BridgeDB, simply make any necessary changes to bridgedb.conf, and do::

+
+
+----------------------------------------------
+Reloading Bridges From Their Descriptor Files:
+----------------------------------------------
+
+When you have new lists of bridges from the Bridge Authority, replace
+the old files and do::
+
+ bridgedb --reload
+
+Or just give it a SIGHUP::
+
+ kill -s SIGHUP `cat .../run/bridgedb.pid`
+
+
+---------------------------------------------------
+To extract bucket files of all unallocated bridges:
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Edit the configuration file value ``FILE_BUCKETS`` according to your
+needs. For example, the following is a possible configuration::
+
+ FILE_BUCKETS = { "name1": 10, "name2": 15, "foobar": 3 }
+
+This configuration for buckets would result in 3 files being created for
+bridge distribution: name1-2010-07-17.brdgs, name2-2010-07-17.brdgs and
+foobar-2010-07-17.brdgs. The first file would contain 10 bridges from
+BridgeDB's 'unallocated' pool. The second file would contain 15 bridges
+from the same pool and the third one similarly 3 bridges. These files
+can then be handed out to trusted parties via mail or fed to other
+distribution mechanisms such as Twitter.
+
+To dump all buckets to their files, send BridgeDB a ``SIGUSR1`` signal
+by doing::
+
+ kill -s SIGUSR1 `cat .../run/bridgedb.pid`
+
+
+=========================
+Using a BridgeDB Instance
+=========================
+
+Obviously, you'll have to feed it bridge descriptor files from a
+BridgeAuth. There's currently only one BridgeAuth in the entire world, but Tor
+Project is, of course, very interested in adding support for multiple
+BridgeAuths so that we can scale our own network, and make it easier for
+individual and organisations who wish to run a lot of Tor bridge relays, and
+distribute those themselves, have an easier time doing so. If you'd like to
+fund our work on this, please contact tor-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!
+
+----------------------------------
+Accessing the HTTPS User Interface
+----------------------------------
+
+Just connect to the appropriate port. (See the ``HTTPS_PORT`` and
+``HTTP_UNENCRYPTED\_PORT`` options in the ``bridgedb.conf`` file.)
+
+The HTTPS interface for our BridgeDB instance can be found `here
+<https://bridges.torproject.org>`__.
+
+
+----------------------------------
+Accessing the Email User Interface
+----------------------------------
+
+Any mail sent to the ``EMAIL_PORT`` with a destination username as defined by
+the ``EMAIL_USERNAME`` configuration option (the default is ``'bridge'``,
+e.g. bridges@...) and sent from an ``@riseup.net``, ``@gmail.com``, or
+``@yahoo.com`` address (by default, but configurable with the
+``EMAIL_DOMAINS`` option).
+
+You can email our BridgeDB instance `here <mailto:bridges@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>`__.
