Cannot publish a dat, doctor command is missing, any ports should I forward to me?

Watching DatProject for 2 years, still I'm waiting for some great news! :-(

Tested 14.0.2 version on a Linux Ubuntu 18.04 x64 machine! First of all: doctor command is not found:

$ .dat/releases/dat-14.0.2-linux-x64/dat doctor

all I get is the help!

Tried last DatDesktop app. Published a DAT folder here ... tried to access it there , both computers under home wifi routers. Didn't worked! Tried Doctor command inside DatDesktop. It keeps saying

[info] Testing connection to public peer
[error] FAIL - unable to load utp-native, utp connections will not work
[info] TCP ONLY - success!
[info] End of phase one (Public Server), moving on to phase two (Peer to Peer via DNS)
[error] Could not detect public ip / port

Searched the docs for any ports that I should open and forward from the router to my machine! Didn't find anything at all! :-(

Tried demos from hyperswarm (I understood that Dat is using that). PEER DISCOVERY WORKED, EXACTLY BETWEEN THOSE 2 MACHINES I'VE TESTED WITH DATDESKTOP!

Anything more I should do? I was abandoning any projects with IPFS when I saw that it cannot publish something to the world when behind NAT routers. I hope that DAT will do that!

Hi Teo, Please try npm install -g dat@next!

teo@amd:~$ dat-doctor
Welcome to Dat Doctor!

Software Info:
  linux x64
  Node v12.16.2

Running Basic Tests (Checks your Dat installation and network setup)

✖ Who am I?
    ERROR: Could not detect public ip / port
✔ Loaded native modules
✔ Resolved Dat Doctor Server
✔ Successful data transfer with Dat Doctor via TCP

FAIL
4 of 5 tests passed

Your network may be preventing you from using Dat.

Is there any port I should open on my router to forward directory to my computer?

dat-doctor is giving the same error:

✖ Who am I?
    ERROR: Could not detect public ip / port

even on a server with public IP address! :-( Teo

@brailateo dat-doctor is deprecated, that's why it is removed from npm install -g dat@next

[brailateo]

@okdistribute OK, good to know! :-) I hope that it should be removed from all docs, it confuses people! So the next question is "Dat Desktop is in sync with dat@next?" Because the last time I tried a sync I used "Dat Desktop", I give it another try!

Test 1 I tried right now with dat 14.0.2 used at command line, to publish (behind a home router) a dat, cannot clone on the other side, even on a server with public addres. :-(

Test 2 Tried publishing from the server with public address and cloning on the desktop behind the home router. It worked! :-)

So, the last question is:

Is (or would it be) able dat to sync directories from any computer behind home routers directly, with STUN like coordination or through DAT nodes relaying (or TURN), like in WebRTC video chat. without forwarding ports from the routers?

Thanks for your help! Teo

So the next question is "Dat Desktop is in sync with dat@next?"
