Websocket down?

[mitra42]

Has something changed, or is the websocket sync point moved/down ?

Since yesterday I've been seeing:
dweb_transport_ipfs_bundled.js:40529 WebSocket connection to 'wss://ws-star.discovery.libp2p.io/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 502

Everything else seems good - e.g. connections to the http gateway at https://ipfs.io are working.

Version: ipfs 0.27.7
System: OSX (10.13.3 current)
Browsers: Firefox 58.0.2 & Chrome 64.0.3282.167 i.e. both current
My configuration is ...

{
"repo":"/tmp/dweb_ipfsv2700",
"config":{ 
    "Addresses": {
        "Swarm":["/dns4/ws-star.discovery.libp2p.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p-websocket-star"]
}},
"EXPERIMENTAL":{"pubsub":true}
}

Sorry, dokku failed on us here, the ws-star container restarted and got a new internal IP, but nginx didn't get its vhost config updated.

@mitra42 could you confirm it's back?

@victorbjelkholm here's what I did: dokku nginx:build-config ws-star

Thanks Lars - its back.

Lars - is setting something like this up here at Archive.org part of what David Dias asked you if you could help with ?

@lgierth thanks!

@mitra42 to avoid being blocked by experimental services being down in the future, you should run either https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-websocket-star-rendezvous for websockets or https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star for webrtc within your own network.

To get up and running, you should do the following:

• Clone the repository
• Pull down dependencies (yarn or npm install)
• Run npm start for ws-star or npm run star-signal for webrtc-star
• Then you can just use the IP + port of star-signal as a multiaddr in your node configuration, instead of the discovery.libp2p.io ones.

@victorbjelkholm - @diasdavid had a specific suggestion about what we needed to do at the Archive, and I don't think it was what you are suggesting above - and the sysadmin's couldn't follow what was being requested. He asked @lgierth to help but we haven't heard back.
