Description:

I successfully ran a IPFS node on my nestjs API using js-ipfs (ipfs-core). When trying to publish a IPNS record, I get the following error:

Error: ipns record for f5uxa3ttf4acicabciqhcqrufyvadw2s7tyk2lp7tiaca737jtwpi6sjeiwzv4xqpsmwehi could not be stored in the routing - Error: Write failed

Code sample:

  async test() {
    const ipfs = await create();
    const file = await ipfs.add({
      path: 'text.txt',
      content: new TextEncoder().encode(
        'Hello World ' + new Date().toISOString(),
      ),
    });
    const addr = `/ipfs/${file.cid.toString()}`;
    const res = await this.node.name.publish(addr);
    console.log(`https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipns/${res.name}`);
  }

Hey @tknoch-symphony any progress with your issue , I am having exactly the same error.

[tknoch-symphony]

@mbutan no luck, as you see I got no answer, same thing in IPFS forum. Let me know if you manage something

I've solved this before by simply doing ipfs.stop() and ipfs.start() and retrying automatically which improves rate of it working 100s of times. as to why no idea.

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336 and read the migration guide.

Please feel to reopen with any comments by 2023-06-02. We will do a final pass on reopened issues afterward (see https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336).

This issue is most likely resolved in Helia, please try it out!
