Infura gateway shutdown

Open D3XX3R opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Since Infura shutdown their public gateway we need an alternative gateway.

If you find an alternative, then you can just set the OFFSTREAM_IPFS_API_ADDR and OFFSTREAM_IPFS_GATEWAY_URI_TEMPLATE envvars.

Also, I plan to add an option to store stream data on disk in addition to IPFS.

As soon as we change the OFFSTREAM_IPFS_API_ADDR to /dns/dweb.link/tcp/5001/https we get a time-out.

Unlike Infura's gateway, dweb.link is not a writable gateway, so offstream won't be able to use it to store stream data.

You could use your own private writable IPFS gateway or wait until I add disk storage support.

Would there be a way to upload using a locally hosted gateway but not keep the files on that particular server?
