Add Firewall rules to host system

[almereyda]

Describe the idea

As a process curator that intends to use Mapeo in a community, I need to deploy it quickly in user bases of most possibly non-technical users. This possibility involves some of them wanting to participate with their computers, in so they can help to clean metadata, analyse and categorise observations, etc.

The gist is, that as a peer to peer system, the whole deal depends on network accessibility. When Mapeo's ports are blocked by default, users quickly move away with their attention and are lost to the case (for now). This effect is even more unpleasant in humanitarian situations, where general stress level is already high.

Adding Mapeo to the host system's firewalls will enable to increase adoption rate, and as such maturity of the environment.

What's your role? Where and how do you currently use the application?

I am in process of creating a participatory biocartography through possibly bi-directional linking with Pl@ntNet for Hof Hackenow, and of an export of Mapeo observations into federated wiki pages, to showcase one possible melt of simple, accessible online representations and the biogeosphere. This can aid in public communication to highlight similar places with great biodiversity.

What is your ideal step by step workflow?

1. Install Mapeo Desktop
2. Run Mapeo Desktop
3. Click Synchronize in Mapeo Desktop
4. Click Synchronize in any other Mapeo in the same (WiFi) network
5. Devices show up and can be synced.

Have you thought about what it might look like?

There's no change in appearance here.
