Running orbit

[ghost]

What do we need?

• /ws bootstrappers (separate ipfs network)
• /webrtc-star signaling servers
  • how many
  • or will they become obsolete once we have the /ws bootstrappers?
• more?

/ws bootstrappers (separate ipfs network)

That is not finished in go-ipfs. So can't do.

/webrtc-star signaling servers

• how many
• or will they become obsolete once we have the /ws bootstrappers?

We need two, one to be the default and another ones for demos (so that we keep it nice and clean).

Signalling Server won't become obsolete with /ws bootstrappers. It would require relay to be in place in IPFS so that the Signalling can happen through IPFS

We also need:

• @haadcode's redis pub/sub

This runs on orbit.libp2p.io for now, through the ipfs.io gateway -- needed a non-https domain because we don't have https multiaddrs yet.
