Connecting peer 2 to peer 1

Launch peer 1 from the terminal:

node test.js

Once launched you will see some output which may look something like this:

libp2p address (copy one of these addresses then dial into this node from the second node) [
  Multiaddr(/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/36161/p2p/12D3KooWKFWB78Hka2uPVNYYoXfucWp6rDLsQzr5CFiP67NAo7YF),
  Multiaddr(/ip4/192.168.1.22/tcp/36161/p2p/12D3KooWKFWB78Hka2uPVNYYoXfucWp6rDLsQzr5CFiP67NAo7YF),
  Multiaddr(/ip4/100.64.100.6/tcp/36161/p2p/12D3KooWKFWB78Hka2uPVNYYoXfucWp6rDLsQzr5CFiP67NAo7YF)
]
my-db address (copy my db address and use when launching peer 2) /orbitdb/zdpuB2aYUCnZ7YUBrDkCWpRLQ8ieUbqJEVRZEd5aDhJBDpBqj

It contains the libp2p address and db address. You will need both of these when connecting from peer 2.

Open another terminal and launch peer 2. The command takes the form node test.js <orbitdb-address> <libp2p-address>

node test.js /orbitdb/zdpuB2aYUCnZ7YUBrDkCWpRLQ8ieUbqJEVRZEd5aDhJBDpBqj /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/36161/p2p/12D3KooWKFWB78Hka2uPVNYYoXfucWp6rDLsQzr5CFiP67NAo7YF

What is happening is the second peer is dialing the first peer on the /ip4/ address then opens the database.
