Read MFS file from remote node example about ipfs-blob-store HOT 12 CLOSED

@its-VSP that is a bug to report for go-ipfs https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs

from ipfs-blob-store.

You will have to do a ipfs.files.stat of the MFS root / and then grab that cid and call in the other node ipfs.files.cp the cid you got from the first node.

from ipfs-blob-store.

https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/cohosting packs a line of work and a set of conversations that should be interesting for you :)

@daviddias , can you give me insight on., how i can make it automate like

1. doing _m = ipfs.files.stat('/') in node1
2. going to node2 - using what (i mean without manual routing)
3. doing ipfs.files.cp(_m) in node 2

from ipfs-blob-store.

@its-VSP a few from multiple ways:

• You can use pubsub to communicate that there as been an update (old tutorial here https://blog.ipfs.io/29-js-ipfs-pubsub with video, might require updates at the API level. A newer example can be found here https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/tree/master/examples/pubsub)
• You can use IPNS to publish a new "head"
• You can use dnslink to publish that new "head"

Thanks @daviddias ., we had made use of IPNS earlier but my only question is "how i can manage that static multihash[of IPNS] between the nodes"
where that ipns has a single File which is having updated heads(root hashes) of every node within a cluster
Do you have any idea or suggestion?

@its-VSP I wasn't able to fully grasp what you are trying to build there. Wanna draw a picture and post an image here?

from ipfs-blob-store.

@daviddias Okay. Let's say there is a load balancer which balances request between node1 and node2 ,
My question was how node 1 and 2 can look to only one ipns consisting a file having a updated hash of MFS roots of both of the nodes

Without hard coding the ipns- hash within the source code

from ipfs-blob-store.

@its-VSP the IPNS name is pegged to the private/public key pair. You should keep the multihash of it around, store it somewhere (DNSname, some db, hardcoded) so that it can be bootstrapped.

Thanks @daviddias .

from ipfs-blob-store.

You bet :)

from ipfs-blob-store.

Yes i did @daviddias
Had another issue but don't know this is the correct place or not to ask

ipfs.files.flush is returning nothing., and even the data is not being flushed

Hypothesis : I wanna flush the mfs root of node 1 before copying the updated mfs root from node 2
