A

B

Alright, this begins the ipfs all hands of December 4th 2017 on the agenda. We have ipfs cluster news, its ipfs trimming on the gateway. If we want to start time.

C

Alright yeah everyone just wanted to give a small update. Last week, I deployed glass earn all ipfs gateways, so they're like there is like a glass eye with ten years in it, and it gave me close to no issues which I'm very happy for we injected beam set of two thousand items and everything became pinned in the end and I also integrated in bought partially against, like the others cluster.

C

So now it's it's still been in the way in before, but it's also been in against cluster, so cluster is maintaining the pin set in the pinball I think this is a milestone, because it's the first cluster that we are just running and it's there and it's working life and yes, they working around they're, trying to finish the pinball and trying to add some small features to watch when make it easy to interact with cluster and make it easy to watch for things to see their pins or not because right now, there's no clients, ivory or anything like that, but yeah I just saw I will tell you about it and yeah.

C

We also have T it in this skull and he's gonna make some he's gonna make a demo afterwards and yeah. I won't tell you about it, I'm, looking forward, it's you, but it's related to cluster, to be thanks. Everyone.

C

Also you've had, if you have questions, is the time.

D

There's yeah awesome, so what's the next stage basically, are we gonna do.

C

D

From you to storage, cluster or yeah, what's next.

C

So right now it is polish. The Beamer integration I make sure it just works with raster and it doesn't need to work. Contacting every note or anything like that.

C

Yeah, you told me that we are moving to a better deployment. We are moving to kubernetes, not kubernetes.

C

This has got a solution and I think there we can have a huge storage cluster. If that's what we need well, this is a good, a good start up that we can just have custard peers around the world and things are not erroring. Things are working, you can pin, you can query the pin set, you can see what failed to pin and you can retrigger pinning and basically you can do a cluster. That's and it works. It's just not some testing thing.

D

Great. Thank you.

B

All right, if there's no more questions, it looks like we can move on to demos. The first time I was ipfs Station update.

E

So do we want to do the demo debunker demo first, since it's related with IP, faster or going on to the station right away.

F

All right first trick.

F

Okay well I'm Tom I was looking at a ipfs cluster I'm gonna share my screen.

F

So I'm looking at s, cluster and I wanted a more user friendly UI. So I poured the JSI PFS API and made a.

F

And then there's ported to the JSI confessed cluster API. So it's pretty much extremely similar today's high capacity except for a BFS cluster.

F

It exposes everything that the expose is right now with the promises. So with that I made little front-end for a octopus cluster, which I called a bunker.

F

Which is in my other interpretor II, it's pretty much just a little front-end for at Ravenna sequester is still very limited. It doesn't do very much, but I can see all the nose listed over here. They just added node names and the configuration file. So as my host names, then it lists the files and you could browse through some of them and you can choose new files to upload this.

F

Then you can see it uploads to the classroom and still super basic, but I'd like to add some things about note, health and the metrics, and just more better than usability functions for interacting with IP best clustering.

F

But yeah that's pretty much it if.

F

Any a question is anything nice.

C

Yeah, it is really good, so we are like two features to cluster for this. One is like in name so you can attach a string to your in, which is something that ipfs doesn't have, and we also added like peer names, so you don't have to you.

E

Don't have just.

C

The peer IDE just have a name attached to your to your cluster view, which are really good for for user interfaces, because you can see what your opinion so even.

E

You can think, even if, in a.

C

Single period, Buster cluster is already adding some features on on top of IP FS, which are just nice to have in this sense, and you can always start with one and then add more peers, as you run out of storage and things like that yeah. Thank you very much for for this step and I'm looking forward to see where word leaves goes and what we can do to to support you because yeah, you can clearly see that from the moment you build a user interface.

C

You're gonna need some features to make it easier for the user and, if you're doing that, is this way more tier. What is needed so let us know how how we can support you. Thank.

B

All right, we probably ready to move on to our next number, then, which is the ipfs Station update.

E

All right, thank you and I added up one more item to the agenda, which is just like a quick announcement and it's rhymey as well, so I'll just do book, so just a BFS 0:27 has been released today this morning. So now, if you do install this ipfs, you will get the latest version. A lot of people have been selling it and I'm, seeing a lot of memory and performance improvements make sure to try it out. I put it here, the wheelies issue, so you can see that Iowa.

E

It's like what change, what was improved, what was added and also if you are migrating, what you need to like worry about. Essentially there should be two API calls that you should pay attention if you were using them in the past and there's notes there about what to change too, so yeah check it out and give feedback.

E

Please and hope you like this new release and that perhaps gets faster, the next demo and if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them all otherwise, I'll just like go to the next demo, all right, so the I EFS station epic. So in the pH, which is not here today because II as an exam, he has been working on a previous station. That intersection is the electro rap.

E

That's what you install go ipfs in your desktop machine without having to like that, should common line without having to go down all the binary like just gives you a nice installer, and so I asked Nick to record a video first to show what is a Z yes been up to and and I have applauded it to YouTube I think we can like watch it here. It's like a four minute demo thing about just going through session. That's good! Alright!

E

So I'm, not gonna percent sure if this is going, but if you're going to hear the audio from the video, but let's try. So if I share my screen.

E

Share my screen, you should see, I can browse the window now and video, so we have two two ways: maybe it's work or I play the video and the sound also goes to you guys, which I'm not sure or if it doesn't go to you guys. We can now go to the link. What's the video and then come back, you talk about it, I guess: okay, let's try it.

C

Deep, this is te. How do nope no.

E

Audio okay, so I was just here going voice, chat.

A

Can't you secure the microphone input in zoom to the to the computer, sound, because otherwise we missed the demo from the recording right.

E

Yeah, but the den was already uploaded to the YouTube channel I actually uploaded this morning as well. Well, so we can. We have a link to share with people yeah. Let me see all the options to be used. Give another demo for us. Another demo I feel like through it but like since he kind of like been working on it and like he shows it's working on Windows, I kind of like wanted to give him the chance to be doing presenting. Ok, no, the link keys there shall we do this?

E

Ok, everyone will go to the link everyone play.

E

Can a bunch of thumbs up so usually sure before are doing it.

E

Ok, I'll play it and watch it too, as well, so that I know more or less when people finish up.

E

E

E

E

E

All right, I hope everyone had time to check it out.

E

Yeah so as except by the way, apologize for being so quiet, apparently record video very early in the morning when their roommates, these roommates were still sleeping so kind of like at the quick quiet, so yeah you can check out the station repo you can like git clone. It's change, the redesign branch and I get access to all those things.

E

I know that, like in Hague and big you're, also working on making the packaging really nice so that, like we, can get guild versions for Linux, Mac, OS and Windows right in our these distributions page and yeah. If you have any questions, you can ask me now or just open it an issue for Enrique. So, okay, now this.

E

Interesting all right got something able to stop screen share anymore, any any feedback.

A

I was wondering about the the you are yeah.

E

A

E

A

What he is showing in the video is stop windows specific because it looks like a very windows inspired UI in general.

E

It is not window specific, it is like, so you will get that same UI in Mac, OS and Linux. It is very inspired by a previous contribution from demo.

E

There was a computer like maybe eight months ago, that start working on the redesign and provided a bunch of those assets, a and basically a henrique like grab those assets, improve them a little bit and implement to them on on the UI of station.

E

At Jenny I think you had your hand.

G

Up yeah so where's the repo being saved I'm, looking at the source code now and installing it. But so is it coming from the environmental variable.

E

Are you on the branch like? Are you on the redesign branch yeah.

G

No actually I'm, just the the master branch from from okay.

E

G

Ipfs shipyard and.

E

You're getting an error, is it now.

G

I'm just wondering where it's actually I'm still installing it so where's. Where is it and if they actually like, for instance, I, have like four different locations in my environment and if it's in my home folder, will it automatically open up? My current repo I have, in my home, folder yeah.

E

So it will default to the like you to try the default IP, FS location, so.

E

Like yeah the only room folder you when you are opening it, you can exchange like the default location to something else, and if you'll pick it up on your little repos. Okay.

G

E

And if you go to my server, basically, you have the old version like the old design, but all fixed and working. That was the first Marcel. This new milestone is design which makes it a little more functional.

E

E

E

Awesome: okay, so that was a demo.

B

B

All right, I guess if there is no more agenda items and demos, this will conclude: December 4th, 2017, ipfs, all hands.
