Documentation unclear: what are the bootstrap peers? #19

Open ivoras opened 5 years ago

ivoras commented 5 years ago

Hi,

The example code references ipfs nodes for bootstrap peers. Are those "stable"? Can developers use them in their own projects? How to set up our own?

Thanks?

I think these peers are not reliable, you should start your own bootstrap peers.

ivoras commented 5 years ago

Thanks. Any pointers on how to start and register peers in IPFS?

zhizouxiao commented 5 years ago

ipfs daemon will start a node in IPFS. ipfs dht findpeer QmPnLYpNQkMMimRsYQY61PYJNvV6GoR4i4MKdAQvXkwMWF can find the peer started. register action is unneeded.

@ivoras I implemented a simple bootstrap node at simple-bootstrap-node, maybe this will help you

How could circuit-relay be implemented with this example? Is it possible?

When I start my own bootstrap node ,all node stay in "2020-08-12T04:08:12.885+0800 INFO rendezvous chat-with-rendezvous/chat.go:160 Announcing ourselves..." Is there something wrong about my operation?
