<ChronosX88[m]1> Hello. I have a question about PubSub. I want to use FloodSub to organize decentralized chat, but I do not know how to dynamically connect nodes to PubSub. I use mDNS as a detection method, the found nodes are added to my node in the PeerStore, but the found nodes do not see the messages I sent to PubSub (they are subscribed to the same topic). (AddPeer method in FloodSubRouter is empty)
<ChronosX88[m]1> <ChronosX88[m]1 "Hello. I have a question about P"> It is question about libp2p

<carson[m]1> Hi @amosbird if you have a private network setup already, then you're good. I just meant its pretty easy to setup a private IPFS swarm: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#private-networks
<carson[m]1> But obvi if your network is an actual private network (i.e., sandboxed from the rest of the world) then you don't really need to worry about the private swarm so much...

<stoccafisso[m]> Hi all. I have go-ipfs running as a service in Ubuntu. I have added some testfiles using the CLI. I can see the repository and the newly added files using 'ipfs pin ls --t=recursive', Then I wonder why these added files does not show up in the firefox browser companion? I can see the browser companion reflects the correct "ipfs id", and also correctly display the size of my repository, but nothing is showing up in
<stoccafisso[m]> the Files-tab in browser companion. I use ipfs 0.4.21 and latest browser companion app.

<stoccafisso[m]> The repository path is /home/user/.ipfs. Do the browser companion expect the repo to be somewhere else, and that being the reason it can not detect/display the files added from the CLI side?

<carson[m]1> stoccafisso: its probably because the Files tab in the companion is based on MFS (https://docs.ipfs.io/guides/concepts/mfs/)
<carson[m]1> here's an issue related to this: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/415
<carson[m]1> long story short... add your files to mfs and you should see them where you expect to in the companion

<carsonfarmer[m]> thanks swedneck ! really nice to have the channels in one chat interface
<carsonfarmer[m]> you can 'move' things around after they've been added
<carsonfarmer[m]> (hence the 'mutable' part of mutable file system)
<carsonfarmer[m]> its really quite nice actually
<carsonfarmer[m]> so you can copy existing file hashes to a directory like that ^ I called the new file 'rando' but you could also just use its existing hash as the name
<carsonfarmer[m]> just tested with ipfs desktop, and works great ^

<stoccafisso[m]> carsonfarmer: OK, let say I have a folder containing 20GB of video. I want to share this, so I first has to add it to ipfs (ipfs add -r somedir/). Then do "ipfs files mkdir /mysomedir" and "ipfs files cp /ipfs/somehash /mysomedir/video? Then what happens? Do I get a duplicate 20GB videodir, or triplet for that matter? The original videodir, then the one added to ipfs, and then the one added to mfs? And then I would
<stoccafisso[m]> like to publish this with a key, so people can relate to the same ipns addess all the time, as I would like to add new videos to the same directory, and when I do, the ipfs hash of the main video dir should change?
jhulten has joined #ipfs
<carsonfarmer[m]> nope no duplication, you're just manipulating dags, so its really just creating a new dag object with all those video files 'linked'
<carsonfarmer[m]> but otherwise, yes that's right
spinza has joined #ipfs
<carsonfarmer[m]> you'd use ipns to link to the updated hash each time you add a new video file
<carsonfarmer[m]> but if you just want to share things with others via ipns, you don't _really_ need to use the mfs api
<carsonfarmer[m]> you can still just reference things via the toplevel ipfs hash and publish that with ipns
<carsonfarmer[m]> the mfs is really just to organize things in dags nicely
<carsonfarmer[m]> of course, you can also publish your top level mfs dag to ipns as well/alternatively
<stoccafisso[m]> OK, I tried just adding the videodir hash to browser companion. The files showed up. I then added a file to the videodir from the browser companion, just to test, but the video dir hash did not change, as I expected it should.
<carsonfarmer[m]> hmmm
griffinbyatt has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<carsonfarmer[m]> not sure what's going on with companion, but ipfs desktop does indeed show the updated folder hash
<carsonfarmer[m]> (i don't have companion installed on this machine at the moment, so can't test there)
<carsonfarmer[m]> try `ipfs files ls /mysomedir ` is the file listed there?
<carsonfarmer[m]> if not, then for some reason, ipfs companion didn't properly add it
<carsonfarmer[m]> if yes, then try `ipfs files stat --hash /mydir` which should just give you the hash of the mfs folder
<carsonfarmer[m]> if yes, then try `ipfs files stat --hash /mysomedir` which should just give you the hash of the mfs folder
<stoccafisso[m]> I see the added file within the top level videodir in browser companion, but the hash did not change. I then lauched IPFS Desktop, same thing there, the new added file show up, but the top level video dir hash has not changed
<carsonfarmer[m]> (edited to `mysomedir`)
<stoccafisso[m]> well, I added its hash to browsercompanion, that is I grabbed the dir from ipfs and not from some folder
<carsonfarmer[m]> ahhh, ok, yes the top level video dir won't change, just the top-level mfs folder you put it in will change
<carsonfarmer[m]> the video dir won't ever change, that's immutable
<stoccafisso[m]> Ok, so how can I have the ipns reflect the changes in the folder?
<makeworld> Hello
<carsonfarmer[m]> ideally, you'd add all the _individual_ ipfs files to the mfs folder, and then add files to it, and publish each time you add a file with the updated hash
<carsonfarmer[m]> if you are keeping the raw files themselves locally, you can also just ipfs add the whole thing each time, it should deduplicate and not add all the files a second time
<stoccafisso[m]> Or more correct, how to I publish the mfs folder hash to ipns, instead of the ipfs hash? I am confused, sorry
<carsonfarmer[m]> yup no probs, like i mentioned, just add files to the mfs folder as i showed, and then you can get its hash: `ipfs files stat --hash /mysomedir`
<carsonfarmer[m]> then you can publish that hash with ipns
<carsonfarmer[m]> does that make sense?
<carsonfarmer[m]> the general workflow would then be: add new file to ipfs, get hash and add to mfs folder, get updated hash from folder, publish to ipns
<carsonfarmer[m]> for the first time around, you'd want to add the _individual_ video files to the mfs folder
<stoccafisso[m]> so as I added the ipfs folder (as a hash), I then have to do "ipfs files stat --hash /ipnshash (as the hash is the folder name)?
<carsonfarmer[m]> which can you do by just looping through them, or using `ipfs files write`
<stoccafisso[m]> damn, this was complicated and difficult to understand
<carsonfarmer[m]> oh yeh i guess so, generally its a good idea to use a human readable name for your mfs folders
<carsonfarmer[m]> yeh, its just a bit tricky initially because you're working with immutable hashes
<carsonfarmer[m]> but once you have the workflow going, its quite similar to just moving files around a la unix style cmdline
<stoccafisso[m]> But, IPFS Desktop and browser companion have no place to manage keys (for ipns). So I then have to generate keys in CLI and publish the mfs hash to that key, instead of the ipfs hash?
<carsonfarmer[m]> yeh, unfortunately that is the case yes
<stoccafisso[m]> Well, thank you so far. I will try some of this, hopefully I will understand it. Is there any tutorial to read about how to do this?
<stoccafisso[m]> Its very complicated for newbies
