Serve extension from KUBE. #15

Open richburdon opened 3 years ago

Deploy packed extension to IPFS and serve from KUBE.

Per @dboreham 's idea, the best way to do this would be to have a 'wire file serve' type thing alongside our current app serving stuff.

We could register files in WNS, and then serve them by name, eg wrn://dxos/file/devtools.crx. The WNS record would allow us to set metadata like Content-Type and filename which are missing in IPFS and would be an aid to serving.

Since there is no good way to load a packed extension except from the WebStore, Alex decided we would fall back to individual developers building extension.

We could possibly do it simply as a zip, when someone unzipped and then loaded unpacked, but that is only minimally more helpful than checking out the repo.

As an addendum, the wire file serve idea is generally useful and we should implement it sometime regardless.
