Re: If the machine run the introducer down,what can i do

Hey dstainton415 and str4d:

Is there an hour per week we could all get together on IRC and/or a
videoconferencing and/or screen-sharing tool and work on this? Str4d
and I had previously agreed on Monday 22:00Z, but that hasn't really
come together yet, and also I'm not sure if DST [*] changes Str4d's
availability for that.

Regards,

Zooko

Hi Zooko,

Yes... a once a week meeting sounds good and doable.
I reside in Berlin... and I am usually awake during CET daylight hours.

I would like to suggest we meet at 17:00 UTC because it would be
convenient for me as I would simply stay
in my office a bit longer and chat with you two.

22:00 UTC is a bit late for work nights... so I would suggest 21:00
UTC or earlier... unless it happens to
be the weekend or friday night.

I'm not particular about which day we meet as I currently do not have
much of a weekly schedule to follow other than the square 9-6 mon-fri
routine.


Cheers!

David

That's right. If you have a backup of the introducer's private keys
then you could set up a new introducer that would have the same FURL.
If not, then you'll have to put in the new introducer's FURL to each
storage server and each client.

The multi-introducer ticket that str4d mentioned is ticket #68:

https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/68# implement
distributed introduction, remove Introducer as a single point of
failure

The state of that ticket is: test-needed — it is waiting for someone
to write unit tests that test the code changed by the patch.

Zooko

Still the chicken-egg-problem needs to be solved:

How can a virgin node get knowledge about the network without
bootstrappers? :-) Of course, you can have multiple bootstrap nodes
(introducer in your terms) so you have ruled out the SPoF (single
point of failure) but still privacy matters are left: all introducer
owner know about the network's structure, at least which IPs run the
storage nodes.

Okay, maybe not a topic here, as Tahoe-LAFS != Freenet.

So a good advice for you @topic start is that you run your introducer on
a RAID1 with at least 3 physical drives and none are SSDs please (SSD =
electronic method = shorter life of the disk, HDD = magnetic =
longer-lasting storage).

Roland

Hey Zooko and David,

I was busy over the past several weeks, but my timetable has settled
down. And yep, DST has altered my availability. I am generally
available from 21:00 UTC most days, but can meet at 20:00 UTC if that
is better.

I think you are correct, you need a new introducer, and the nodes in the
grid need to know its furl.

This is exactly why the I2P version of Tahoe-LAFS uses a
multi-introducer patch which allows multiple introducers to be used
for the same grid; introducers can go down indefinitely (a common
problem in I2P) without destroying the grid. But if all known
introducers go down, you still have the same problem of informing all
nodes of the new grid. (We also have a separate monitoring script that
pulls a list of known introducers from a volunteer and adds them
automatically; this just abstracts the failure point back a step).

There are relevant tickets on the Tahoe-LAFS bug tracker about both
the multi-introducer system, and a no-introducers system. One (or
both) of these should eventually get merged into Tahoe-LAFS.
