Background

Many ongoing projects explore how to use IPFS in resource-constrained environments such as mobile devices, web browsers, and IoT devices.

Examples include Aggregore, Durin, and Iroh, Capyloon, and ipfs-embed

These rely on similar patterns, such as HTTP IPFS Gateways and "delegated providing" using pinning services (and the upcoming writeable gateway spec).

Page goal

  • Educate about the resources commonly needed by an IPFS node, e.g. access to TCP/UDP connections, no. of peers, being long-running (to continue publishing to the DHT), be publicly reachable
  • Educate about the trade-offs, how some responsibilities can be delegated, and the landscape of options (delegated routing over HTTP with link to spec), delegated representation and providing pinning services, verified retrieval with gateways.
  • link out to relevant tooling, libraries, and projects working on this.

Tasks

  • Create PR for new page in Concepts section to capture info above with sections and links to the implementations page.
  • Create task list in PR
  • Link PR to this issue
  • Add PR to ipfs docs work board
  • Remove this issue from ipfs docs work board

@2color this proposal makes sense.

Questions for you:

  1. Do you think we could include all of this info in a single page? From your description, it seems like yes, with more or less one section for each of the bullet points you mentioned
  2. If we condense this into a single page, where should that page go? From your description, this seems to me to be something that would fit into our Concepts category.

Yeah I would create a new page for this with sections and links to the implementations page.

The concepts section sounds like a good place for this

@2color I started on #1450 (still very much a draft) for this issue. I'll tag you in that PR once it's ready for 👀

Reached out to team in Slack requesting SME assistance to finish this. No response yet, depriortizing, as the team has not indicated that this PR is important to finish. Will repriortize if I hear back
