Test Net

[jbenet]

We need to setup a test net. The goal: 100 nodes to which we can easily deploy new versions and test them. @whyrusleeping do you want to tackle this? (maybe spend a bit of time breaking it down into smaller tasks)

[whyrusleeping]

I can hack at that, what do we want to use as our platform? I can run 100 nodes in dhthell on my desktop no sweat, otherwise we can look at running a bunch of docker images somewhere

[jbenet]

docker images! We should be able to combine a Networkfile, some
Dockerfiles, and some credentials / machine addresses and end up with a
running cluster. Would <3 to spin up 500-1000 node cluster.

Okay, I want to make a place to host ipfs binaries, that way i can make cheap busybox docker images for ipfs.

Do the busybox images block on hosting remote binaries?

[whyrusleeping]

Yeah, you cant build from source if youre using busybox.

Maybe we should try using some sort of distributed file system for this.

But seriously, i want to get to update-delivery through IPFS. self-updating signed p2p system.

[whyrusleeping]

jbenet it would be cool if we had a small network up and ipfs.io could serve binaries for the docker images to fetch.

[jbenet]

@whyrusleeping yeah, let's make this happen

[whyrusleeping]

Well, we have the http interface working, all you really need to do now is run an ipfs node on the ipfs.io machine and start it serving. We probably should start one or two more infrastructure nodes up while were at it.

[jbenet]

I want to keep ipfs.io as the (github pages) website for now. once everything is robust, we can switch it and serve the website over an ipfs gateway. -- On the infrastructure nodes: 👍

Quick and easy: can build the binary and put it in the Docker build context.

Done. Behold: http://ipfs.benet.ai:8080/ipfs/QmX8PuUyhSet8fppZHuRNxG7vk949z7XDxnsAz3zN77MGx#QmYiwP4f3FGZDjXKG4AdDt4z8dGqzQEv1s9TV4aymJxnN4
