🤖 What is ezAutobots?

⚡ A distributed compute mesh. Every machine that runs the starter pack becomes a node — it registers itself, sends real CPU & memory heartbeats, and earns rewards for compute contributed to the network.

🌐 No server setup needed. The backend runs on Railway. You only need to download the Starter Pack, extract it, and double-click one file to join.

💰 Earn mesh rewards. The longer your node stays online and contributes compute, the more USD rewards accumulate. Track them in the Rewards panel below.

Quick-start for new devs

1 Create an account — sign up above; your User ID links all your nodes & rewards.

2 Download Starter Pack — click the 📦 Download Starter Pack (.zip) button below.

3 Run the launcher — Windows: double-click start.bat. Mac/Linux: run bash start.sh in a terminal.

4 Watch it go — this page detects your running node automatically every 15 s. Rewards start accruing immediately.

💬 Join the Community Discord

Ask questions, share your node stats, find collaborators, and earn +20 XP just for joining. Free & Apprentice tier devs use Discord to learn the ropes.

🔗 Link your Discord account so your node stats appear in the community server.

📱 Mobile Micro-Node Mode — Your device has been detected as a mobile node. Background heartbeats use visibilitychange events and IndexedDB storage. Tap Add New Node below to join the mesh, or see the 📱 Mobile Deployment guide for Termux (Android) setup.

Step 0 · This machine

Add New Node turns this machine into a registered node: identity, registration, and heartbeat are all handled automatically. The browser orchestrates the connection; your backend orchestrates the swarm.

This HTML file is the launcher + identity + heartbeat client. Your actual local backend (agents, compute, etc.) can run at http://localhost:8080 and register itself using the same identity payloads shown here.

Step 1 · Download & Run

Download the Starter Pack — a ready-to-run ZIP containing a one-click launcher for Windows (start.bat) and macOS / Linux (start.sh) plus the zero-dependency Node.js backend. No npm install needed.

Click Download Starter Pack and extract the .zip to any folder on your machine

Windows: double-click start.bat | macOS / Linux: open a terminal and run bash start.sh

The launcher auto-detects your OS, checks for Node.js, and guides you through installation if needed

Your node earns mesh rewards for every compute cycle contributed — track them in the Rewards panel below ↓

📱 Mobile Micro-Node Deployment

Android · iOS · Termux

Turn any phone or tablet into a live mesh node — no PC needed. Choose the mode that suits your device:

Works on any phone browser — no app, no install. The browser handles identity, registration and heartbeats automatically.

Open this page on your phone (barbrickdesign.github.io/ezAutobots.html) — or scan the QR Code tab to get the link instantly

Tap Add New Node — your phone registers instantly and heartbeats begin

Keep the tab open (or add to home screen as a PWA) — heartbeats continue whenever the page is visible

💡 Tip: On Android, tap ⋮ → Add to Home Screen. On iOS, tap Share → Add to Home Screen to pin it like an app.

Run a persistent background node on Android using Termux — works even when you lock your screen (with a wake-lock). Node.js runs natively.

Step 1 — Install Termux & Node.js

# Install from F-Droid (NOT Google Play — that version is outdated) # https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/ # Then inside Termux: pkg update -y && pkg install nodejs curl -y

Step 2 — Download & run the launcher

mkdir -p ~/ezautobots && cd ~/ezautobots curl -fsSL "https://barbrickdesign.github.io/ezautobots-node-launcher.js" \ -o launcher.js node launcher.js

Optional — Run in background with nohup

nohup node ~/ezautobots/launcher.js > ~/ezautobots/node.log 2>&1 & # View logs: tail -f ~/ezautobots/node.log # Stop node: pkill -f launcher.js

💡

The launcher auto-detects Termux and tags your node as mobile type so the mesh knows it's a phone node

⚡

Use Termux:API + termux-wake-lock to keep the process alive when the screen is off

🔋

Set NODE_TYPE=mobile HEARTBEAT_SEC=60 before running to save battery on longer heartbeat intervals

Local backend probe

Step 2 · localhost:8080

Checks whether the downloaded node launcher is running on this machine at http://localhost:8080/health. When running, it reports real CPU, memory and uptime from the OS.
