gmutils is the Genmeta command-line tool family for DHttp networking. It gives an endpoint the tools it needs to create and use a Unified Identity, publish or reach services, control access, diagnose connectivity, and manage DHttp-based remote sessions.

The genmeta launcher exposes the suite behind a consistent command surface: genmeta <tool> [options]. Most utilities are also published as individual crates for users who only need one command.

Utils

Available commands:

Command	Purpose
genmeta identity	Create, apply, inspect, and renew Unified Identities and certificates.
genmeta access	Manage DHttp API access-control rules.
genmeta curl	Send DHttp requests with a curl-like interface.
genmeta ssh	Administer remote endpoints over DHttp with SSH-compatible syntax.
genmeta proxy	Run a local forward proxy that forwards HTTP requests to DHttp endpoints.
genmeta nslookup	Resolve DDns names and discover reachable DHttp addresses.
genmeta discover	Discover nearby DHttp endpoints over mDNS.
genmeta doctor	Diagnose NAT and network connectivity.

See the DHttp utilities documentation for detailed usage and examples.

Install

Use the official package repository for a system installation. Both methods install the gmutils package, which provides the genmeta command.

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

Use the following official DHttp APT repository setup:

# Add the package-signing key.
wget -qO- https://download.dhttp.net/ppa/key/public.key \
  | gpg --dearmor \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/genmeta.gpg > /dev/null

# Add the stable and preview package channels.
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/genmeta.list > /dev/null <<'EOF'
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/genmeta.gpg] https://download.dhttp.net/ppa/genmeta stable main
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/genmeta.gpg] https://download.dhttp.net/ppa/genmeta preview main
EOF

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gmutils

Install pishoo as well when this machine will expose local services through DHttp: sudo apt install pishoo gmutils. Refer to the Linux guide for group, service, and gateway configuration.

macOS

brew tap genmeta/preview https://github.com/genmeta/homebrew-preview
brew trust genmeta/preview
brew update
brew install gmutils

For a DHttp gateway, install pishoo alongside gmutils: brew install pishoo gmutils. The macOS guide covers service management and configuration locations.

Build from source

With a current Rust toolchain, build and install the launcher from this checkout:

cargo install --path genmeta

Quick start

Create or apply an identity through the interactive flow, then inspect the available commands:

genmeta identity apply
genmeta --help

Identities are stored under the current user's ~/.dhttp directory by default. Most client commands use the default identity automatically; pass --id to select another identity when a command supports it.
