Live sharing over IPNS

Open bleonard252 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Could we add a New MFS option to the Files browser? It would:

  • Create a directory in IPFS
  • Create a file record in the directory to tell the webui to use the folder as an MFS and update the record if edits are made (and prevent edits if the IPNS key is missing!)
  • Create an IPNS record to the IPFS directory
  • Update the IPNS record anytime a change is made to the file

I'll go ahead and find where to start, so help me out in bleonard252/ipfs-webui please!

@bleonard252 hello! I'm not sure if I understand what you want: the current Web UI (2.0) already uses MFS in the files section:

If you click 'Add to IPFS', you'll have an option to create a new directory/folder. 😄 Hope it helps!

Edit: the only feature we don't have is the auto-updating IPNS, but that should be discussed first. /cc @ipfs-shipyard/gui

Yes, the auto-updating IPNS is the part I'm looking for. Keep me posted, please!

This would be a cool feature to have, but requires UI design first. FYSA it is already tracked in https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/issues/52 A good start would be to research and propose solution to open questions listed there.

FYSA manual publishing to IPNS is being added in https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/pull/1857
