Overview

Package core implements the IpfsNode object and related methods.

Packages underneath core/ provide a (relatively) stable, low-level API to carry out most IPFS-related tasks. For more details on the other interfaces and how core/... fits into the bigger IPFS picture, see:

Constants

const DefaultIpnsCacheSize = 128

const IpnsValidatorTag = "ipns"

Variables

var DefaultBootstrapConfig = BootstrapConfig{
	MinPeerThreshold:  4,
	Period:            30 * time.Second,
	ConnectionTimeout: (30 * time.Second) / 3,
}

DefaultBootstrapConfig specifies default sane parameters for bootstrapping.

var ErrNoNamesys = errors.New(
	"core/resolve: no Namesys on IpfsNode - can't resolve ipns entry")

ErrNoNamesys is an explicit error for when an IPFS node doesn't (yet) have a name system

var ErrNotEnoughBootstrapPeers = errors.New("not enough bootstrap peers to bootstrap")

ErrNotEnoughBootstrapPeers signals that we do not have enough bootstrap peers to bootstrap correctly.

Functions

func Bootstrap

func Bootstrap(n *IpfsNode, cfg BootstrapConfig) (io.Closer, error)

Bootstrap kicks off IpfsNode bootstrapping. This function will periodically check the number of open connections and -- if there are too few -- initiate connections to well-known bootstrap peers. It also kicks off subsystem bootstrapping (i.e. routing).

func Resolve

func Resolve(ctx context.Context, nsys namesys.NameSystem, r *resolver.Resolver, p path.Path) (ipld.Node, error)

Resolve resolves the given path by parsing out protocol-specific entries (e.g. /ipns/<node-key>) and then going through the /ipfs/ entries and returning the final node.

func ResolveIPNS

func ResolveIPNS(ctx context.Context, nsys namesys.NameSystem, p path.Path) (path.Path, error)

ResolveIPNS resolves /ipns paths

Types

type BootstrapConfig

type BootstrapConfig struct {

	// MinPeerThreshold governs whether to bootstrap more connections. If the
	// node has less open connections than this number, it will open connections
	// to the bootstrap nodes. From there, the routing system should be able
	// to use the connections to the bootstrap nodes to connect to even more
	// peers. Routing systems like the IpfsDHT do so in their own Bootstrap
	// process, which issues random queries to find more peers.
	MinPeerThreshold int

	// Period governs the periodic interval at which the node will
	// attempt to bootstrap. The bootstrap process is not very expensive, so
	// this threshold can afford to be small (<=30s).
	Period time.Duration

	// ConnectionTimeout determines how long to wait for a bootstrap
	// connection attempt before cancelling it.
	ConnectionTimeout time.Duration

	// BootstrapPeers is a function that returns a set of bootstrap peers
	// for the bootstrap process to use. This makes it possible for clients
	// to control the peers the process uses at any moment.
	BootstrapPeers func() []pstore.PeerInfo
}

BootstrapConfig specifies parameters used in an IpfsNode's network bootstrapping process.

func BootstrapConfigWithPeers

IpfsNode is IPFS Core module. It represents an IPFS instance.

func NewNode

func NewNode(ctx context.Context, cfg *BuildCfg) (*IpfsNode, error)

NewNode constructs and returns an IpfsNode using the given cfg.

func (*IpfsNode) Bootstrap

func (n *IpfsNode) Bootstrap(cfg BootstrapConfig) error

Bootstrap will set and call the IpfsNodes bootstrap function.

func (*IpfsNode) Close

func (n *IpfsNode) Close() error

Close calls Close() on the Process object

func (*IpfsNode) Context

func (n *IpfsNode) Context() context.Context

Context returns the IpfsNode context

func (*IpfsNode) GetKey

func (n *IpfsNode) GetKey(name string) (ic.PrivKey, error)

GetKey will return a key from the Keystore with name `name`.

func (*IpfsNode) HandlePeerFound

func (n *IpfsNode) HandlePeerFound(p pstore.PeerInfo)

HandlePeerFound attempts to connect to peer from `PeerInfo`, if it fails logs a warning log.

func (*IpfsNode) Process

func (n *IpfsNode) Process() goprocess.Process

Process returns the Process object

type Mounts

type Mounts struct {
	Ipfs mount.Mount
	Ipns mount.Mount
}

Mounts defines what the node's mount state is. This should perhaps be moved to the daemon or mount. It's here because it needs to be accessible across daemon requests.

type RoutingOption

type RoutingOption func(context.Context, p2phost.Host, ds.Batching, record.Validator) (routing.IpfsRouting, error)

var DHTClientOption RoutingOption = constructClientDHTRouting

var DHTOption RoutingOption = constructDHTRouting
