"services: - name: my-service # This is your service url: 'http://my-service.myco/' # For service listening on 0.0.0.0:80 friends: true

friends: - name: alice # This is your laptop ip: fd1f:2cd5:6feb:7aa7:d674:1b3c:c82c:dfc"

May I suggest r/friend/peer. This is not motivated by pedantry. Relational semantics that are not closed over by the domain of user-agent (in the broadest sense) should not be used in the infrastructure layer. My laptop's server is a user-agent of mine as is the instance running on my phone; they are peers.

Applications built on top of this substrate will be (generally) concerned with social relationships of users and 'friend' et al. will be of use in those layers.
