Interacting with the IPFS daemon running as a user LaunchAgent? #51

Open sockdrawermoney opened 8 years ago

sockdrawermoney commented 8 years ago

If I run the IPFS daemon as a "LaunchAgent" as described here, then start it as described, I see it show up:

➜  ~ launchctl list | grep ipfs
-   127 io.ipfs.go-ipfs

But if I run ipfs swarm peers, I get:

Error: This command must be run in online mode. Try running 'ipfs daemon' first.
Use 'ipfs swarm peers --help' for information about this command

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something about how this works. :)

Hrm... I wonder where the ipfs dir gets placed in that case. the CLI might not be looking in the same path as the launchctl manager.

in theory it should work, but it might be tht the home directory detection fails. Try setting IPFS_PATH="./.ipfs" in the script explicitly (user based scripts run in the user home dir by default)

I have the same problem. It seems that there is a problem when running under a different user account. My setup is as follows:

Everything works as expected when I run ipfs daemon manually in one console window and the other commands in a different console.

Manually setting the IPFS_PATH works too.

I had the problem "Error: this command must be run in online mode. Try running 'ipfs daemon' first", because I try exec this with another user in terminal.

tks @fubar-coder
