VX6 Qt Browser

This directory is the browser-ready VX6 frontend built on Qt WebEngine.

It is separate from the Go protocol core:

  • VX6 core still owns identity, DHT, sessions, hidden services, and relay logic.
  • This app only provides the browser shell, tabs, navigation, and VX6-aware pages.

Build

Example CMake build:

cmake -S browser/qt -B browser/qt/build
cmake --build browser/qt/build

The executable is vx6-browser.

What this app does

  • opens normal http:// and https:// pages
  • opens VX6 internal pages through vx6://
  • renders a colorful home dashboard with VX6 actions
  • shows a left control drawer with:
    • copyable current IPv6
    • node rename
    • service / node / hidden lookup
    • service hosting and stop controls
  • shows a right-side log drawer for node output and reload actions
  • includes node start and stop controls in the side drawer
  • keeps one system identity and one key, with no profile switching UI

VX6 pages

  • vx6://home
  • vx6://status
  • vx6://dht
  • vx6://registry
  • vx6://services
  • vx6://peers
  • vx6://identity
  • vx6://service/<name>
  • vx6://node/<name>
  • vx6://node-id/<id>
  • vx6://key/<raw-key>

OS notes

  • Windows, Linux, and macOS are the main Qt WebEngine targets.
  • BSD is intentionally left for later if build/runtime gaps appear.
  • The browser asks for first-run firewall/admin guidance on Windows and macOS.

Planning Notes

See PLAN.md for the browser roadmap, contribution rules, build steps, and test matrix.
