    Host interzone's files without a homeserver

    Anyone can now help the IPFS swarm, with no Matrix server of their own.

    Host

    • A new Host section in the menu sets up this machine or a Linux server over SSH (systemd, x86 or ARM) to keep the newest signed publish and share it with the swarm.
    • Pick any mix of what to host: the container images (about 16 GB), the OS, Docker and Python packages (3.7 GB), the playbook and its roles in git (50 MB), and interzone and IPFS themselves (230 MB).
    • An hourly timer on that machine fetches each new publish and lets the old one go, so interzone doesn't need to stay open. It listens on TCP 4001. To stop: systemctl disable --now interzone-ipfs-follow.timer interzone-ipfs.
    • While it hosts, the Host screen shows live statistics: peers, how much of each part has arrived, download and upload speed with a small graph, what it gave the swarm, disk use, and when it checks next. Type in a server that already hosts and its numbers appear.

    Also

    • A download that gets nothing new for 20 minutes gives up, and the next hourly check moves to the newest publish, instead of waiting forever.
    • A freshly started node retries finding the publish for a few minutes instead of failing its first update.
    • The Mirrors screen and interzone mirrors check the IPFS swarm too.
