1.0.2 — Lightweight standalone node (Nostr offloaded)

Originless 1.0.2

Lightweight standalone node

• Nostr integration offloaded: In-node Nostr scraping and mirroring has been removed and moved to the dedicated nostr-backup integration.
• Removed internal archiver: Removed /archive filesystem volume, SQLite tables (archive, archive_events, nostr_cursors, archive_attempts), and the background crawler worker.
• Cleaned API & Telemetry: Removed /archive and /archive.html endpoints; removed Nostr relay/npub payload from GET /status and archive counters from GET /metrics.
• Trimmed dependencies: Removed github.com/gorilla/websocket and Nostr Bech32 encoding utilities from the node binary.
• Simplified container: Streamlined Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to focus purely on fast, reliable IPFS storage, pinning, anonymized media uploading, and gateway proxying.

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.0.2

1.0.1 — Reliable P2P connectivity on boot

Originless 1.0.1

Better P2P connectivity on boot

• Entrypoint now waits on the Kubo HTTP API (instead of offline ipfs id, which raced repo.lock) before joining the swarm
• Swarm connect retries DNS and QUIC-v1 dials before falling back, and re-applies the swarm listen address every boot so Docker-published 4001 is actually bound
• Cleared Swarm.AddrFilters so Docker Compose / LAN peers can dial

Improved finding

• Seeded explicit bootstrap peers instead of relying on Kubo 0.41's ["auto"] remote autoconf, which could leave a fresh node at 0 peers forever if the fetch timed out
• IPFS_PEER_NODES lets Compose peers find and dial each other over DNS
• Port 4001 exposed on the Compose stack so peers can actually reach you
• Relaxed healthchecks onto /status during swarm join so containers stop restart-looping while the node comes up

Trusted nodes

• Added a few trusted bootstrap peers (bootstrap.libp2p.io, va1.bootstrap.libp2p.io, amigarage.bootstrap.libp2p.io)

Cleanup

• Gateway format selector removed; examples emit ipfs:// only
• Originless response headers and CORS no longer leak onto the Kubo /ipfs path

1.0.0 — Automatic Nostr IPFS archive

Originless 1.0.0

A private IPFS pin node that automatically mirrors IPFS media from Nostr onto a local archive — then keeps those CIDs alive on the swarm.

Automatic Nostr → IPFS archive

Pass the accounts you care about. Originless does the rest.

docker run -d \
  --name originless \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3232:3232 -p 8080:8080 \
  -e STORAGE_MAX=100GB \
  -e NOSTR_NPUBS=npub1...,npub1... \
  -v originless-archive:/archive \
  ghcr.io/besoeasy/originless:latest

What happens next:

• Walks those npubs on famous relays (or NOSTR_RELAYS) every 15 minutes, first scan at startup
• Pulls IPFS objects out of notes, pictures, files, and long-form:
  • ipfs://… in content
  • public gateway URLs (ipfs.io, dweb.link, Pinata, Cloudflare, {cid}.ipfs.*)
  • NIP-92 imeta tags
  • NIP-94 kind 1063 file events (url, m, x sha256)
• Kinds scanned: 1 notes · 6 reposts · 20 pictures · 1063 files · 30023/30024 long-form · 9802 highlights
• Writes verified bytes to /archive (never GC’d)
• Pins immediately, then re-pins every 6 hours so DHT provider records stay fresh
• The janitor never unpins archive CIDs

List what landed, then fetch it from this node:

curl http://localhost:3232/archive
curl -O "http://localhost:3232/ipfs/$CID"

GET /status reports archive size, last scan, last re-pin, and per-npub counts.

Also in 1.0.0

• HTTP API reference — every route in api.md. No keys, no accounts.
• Self-hosted gateway — GET /ipfs/{cid} on this node (disable with ENABLE_GATEWAY=false). /status now shows whether the gateway is serving, plus the public URL.
• POST /media — strip EXIF/GPS/XMP before pin so the CID is not the camera original.
• Folder / DApp uploads — POST /uploadfolder pins a tree as one root CID.
• Disposable node data — only /archive is a volume. Recreate the container and /data (Kubo repo + pin log) is gone; archive media is re-pinned on boot.
• Dashboard — pin library, archive view, gateway picker, agent prompt for LLM tools.
