IPFS

ipfs logo

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.

In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG).

IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other, except for every node they are connected to. Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a problem common with HTTP.

The current downloads listed in the install section of the readme are version 0.17 while the current version is 0.18.1.

I think we should not link specific versions here, but link to the release list on Github.

There are multiple functions that return Result<T, ()> in the code, this is equivalent to Option<T>, however instead of changing those to optional types, these should return useful error messages/types so it's easier to debug.

Example: https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/blob/79390c39a13f166999ceea8defc55eedd05265ab/graph/src/data/subgraph/mod.rs#L169

Seems that Firefox (around version 96-97) changed somethign and is now way more aggresive when a gateway does not start returning response immediately.

For example, first load (empty ipfs repo) of http://dist.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080/go-ipfs/v0.11.0 in Firefox 97 produces:

Describe the bug
When typing things like /ipns/k51..., /ipns/ipfs.io into the browse/inspect bar if you hit inspect it'll take you to the explore page and will error.

This bug might be related to explore.ipld.io more than here, but since we depend on similar components I'm filing here. Feel free to move or redirect.

This was cut from the v0.2.0 release for present time constraints however making ipfs-http more accessible as "the" ipfs binary would make the project more accessible to anyone just wanting to try it out. At the moment I see the following obstacles:

  • ipfs-http supports only `i

Summary

This is the main tracking issue for Naming Providers support. Naming providers can be either DNS - for use with DNSLink - or even naming services such as ENS and IPNS.

Ideally even doing things like detecting the provider from the domain name and doing the right thing.
