This is an Android PageKite app.
PageKite is a protocol for dynamic, tunneled reverse proxying of arbitrary TCP byte streams. It is particularly well suited for making a HTTP server on a device without a public IP address visible to the wider Internet, but can also be used for a variety of other things, including SSH access.
For more information about PageKite, see: http://pagekite.org/
This is a basic Android app which allows the user to assign a single DNS name (kite name) to his phone and expose HTTP, HTTPS, Websocket and SSH servers to the public web.
The app should be available for download from Google Play or directly from pagekite.net.
When first run the app will prompt the user to sign up or log in to their pagekite.net account, but this dialog can be dismissed and the app should work just fine with personal frontend relays as well.
The app has in-line help, which can also be viewed online.
You will need both the Android SDK and the Android NDK to build PageKite.
PageKite for Android depends on libpagekite, which in turn depends on this version of OpenSSL.
The following steps should suffice to check out all the code you need and configure the tree for building:
mkdir PageKiteApp
cd PageKiteApp
git clone https://github.com/pagekite/libpagekite.git
# ...
git clone https://github.com/pagekite/AndroidPageKiteApp.git
# ...
cd AndroidPageKiteApp
rm -f jni
ln -s ../libpagekite jni
cd ../libpagekite
git clone https://github.com/guardianproject/openssl-android.git
# ...
To build libpagekite:
cd PageKiteApp
cd AndroidPageKiteApp
export NDK_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/android-ndk
make -f jni/Makefile android
# ...
(If the build fails, please consult the libpagekite documentation for hints or details missing from this page.)
Once this is all done, you should be able to import the AndroidPageKiteApp into Eclipse and work with the code like any other Android app.
Note: If someone would like to contribute ant build rules to make this all more CLI-friendly, that would be most appreciated!
