IPFS crashes my modem #71

Closed MeganerdNL closed 1 year ago

MeganerdNL commented 1 year ago

IPFS frequently crashes my modem. No internet whatsoever for minutes. According tho this issue it has to do with an option "LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT" that has to be set to false. However I cannot change it anywhere. I tried to set a global environment variable in /etc/environment

LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT=false

However that does not seem to work.

Version: 0.2.16 (v0.12.1 upstream)

Update on this:

I managed to add a environment variable in the following file:

/usr/src/dappnode/DNCORE/docker-compose-ipfs.yml

adding

LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT=false

to this file under environment.

This caused my modem not to crash anymore. Maybe add this standard as an option?

@MeganerdNL Thankyou for the research! we will take a look and if its convenient, we will introduce this feature in the setup-wizard to allow users to set this ipfs mode directly from the UI.

Remember that if your IPFS is crashing your router you can always choose IPFS remote at system > repository > IPFS > remote, and switch off the IPFS Package

Thanks. I ended up switching to remote IPFS because with LIBP2P_TCP_REUSEPORT=false it only took longer to crash, but it did crash. I then disabled/stopped IPFS completley. With remote on, the store keeps on working and no more modem crashes for me. Are there any disadvantages of disabling IPFS?

IPFS people are aware of it (I'm not the only one): see the link in the first post. My router is behid the modem that crashes. Router is fine (running OPNsense).

The disadvantages are centrallization, you are using an IPFS node supported by us instead of yours. We are working on making ipfs local more resilient
