Anyone who wants to duplicate my results needs to do, is put IPFS on LAN w/ dual WAN where one IP addy is dynamic;
However. Unless you're on GPON you'll have to simulate the DHCP addy changing, depending which laser on the optical switch is talking to you. There's your IPFS boot loop. Now anyone can see what I'm describing as a dog shaking off water only to get another bucket dumped on top of it. But you'd have to post the HTTP link, as I did, to kick off the seeding. Alternatively, if you can get it on IPFS, pin it? I can't test that. -Eric ---- On Sun, 21 Jul 2024 09:18:35 -0700 Eric J Bowman via illumos-discuss <discuss@lists.illumos.org> wrote --- Nutshell: I discovered an IPFS boot loop. -Eric ---- On Sun, 21 Jul 2024 08:21:33 -0700 Eric J Bowman via illumos-discuss <mailto:discuss@lists.illumos.org> wrote --- https://illumos.topicbox.com/latest / illumos-discuss / see https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss + https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/members + https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T2c766ee23140896a-Mbf13c9536ad9e7f251b1a0a7 Sorry for the OT and the bumping but I'm barely online. That .iso I posted will be available "soon". Only one of my WAN links has a static IP address. So when I pinned that download, it didn't work because of "intermittency" which could have other causes besides the IP address, kinda hard to troubleshoot from out here over the edge. The borked state of that 2GB file, means that at this point pretty much every IPFS node on the planet is trying to connect, getting a 256Kb chunk, encrypting it, reflecting it back to me, and yet even though it's now "assembled" on my TV (long story), every IPFS node on the planet is still trying to connect to do the same thing because overall, the operation is stuck at the final stage of completion. I don't change router configurations lightly. I know what to do, and I know how to do it, but not until I've documented it out for myself and made backups etc. so this is my all-day project, but I need to restrict IPFS to my static-IP WAN port, because I "pinned" to self-host the file from my TV. Which costs nothing, for anyone, for as long as the file is retained, meaning in this case after the next release, this one will slowly fade away. So I'm hoping folks will try it. I've long used bittorrent for but one purpose: distro sharing, even if I didn't like the distro, any distro I come across that's available via BT. I'm also really an HTTP guy when it comes to setting up a host to serve a file. I don't fall for protocol hype. Had I already known what I was doing when I posted the .iso, it would've shared right out there in the midst of all this, no problem. Although, it will likely be the case that once I've reconfigured the router, it will only be available via IPFS, because those HTTP-IPFS gateways seem to be impacted by something which prevents them from being available long enough to transfer a 2GB file. -Eric ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T2c766ee23140896a-Mbc8e2851e76b5ce447cebf58 Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
