IPFS cache/CDN #62

Closed bergie closed 6 years ago

bergie commented 8 years ago

Currently ImgFlo Server provides a caching interface with Amazon S3. It would be good to explore integration with IPFS as well.

bergie commented 8 years ago

One problem is that using IPFS as the cache instead of S3 means we don't know the image's final URL (IPFS hash) before it has been processes, since IPFS URLs are content-addressable.

Two options for working around this:

Stable address for "job results" via IPNS
An "in-flight" address that does a permanent redirect to final one once job has completed
