Description
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
