IPFS Devs have FINALLY FIXED THIS!

techcoderx (64)in #dtube • 5 years ago

This is something that I have been figuring out for over a year, since the day I first joined DTube. Now that Protocol Labs (IPFS Devs) have released a new update which fixes many issues and introduced many new features, it's now possible for me to run an IPFS node on my home LTE internet connection (with a VPN of course) without crashing routers!

I have a hotspot with unlimited data, may be worth trying out at home if I can get that working. Though I tend to have poor cell reception at home.

What are your ping times and speeds looking like? I probably get 100ms pings and 1 megabit up and about 5 megabits down with my hotspot. Not sure if thats good enough.

I like the idea of you being able to host all your d.tube videos on your server. Sometimes when I want to show people old d.tube videos I made its a crapshoot if they will load or not. Sounds like by hosting your own they will always work, as long as your router does not crash.

I'm running my node on an LTE connection over a VPN and this is what I get: https://www.speedtest.net/result/7798119723

Here is the speedtest result without a VPN: https://www.speedtest.net/result/7798117628

When I run ipfs ping from our upload server I got about 270ms on average. Although my node does work without router crashes, it can't work well by itself. I would need to have the video pinned on at least 2 nodes for the videos to play smoothly, preferably one of them running on a datacenter network connection.
