Trying to figure this out

Hyperswam dht is used as the hole punch intermediary... Which is running on the hole punch swarm...https://github.com/hyperswarm

I can't find a good overview document of how the entire architecture works, there's no Wikipedia page on this system.

At its core, if it's open source, I want to know what I need to run this independently on my own networks without touching any of their stuff.

There's more information about the components of this system here:

https://docs.pears.com

There really isn't much to this Holesail project - it's a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that's a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one's GitHub.

Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven't looked through the details of how it works.
