v2.10.0.893 (Beta)

✨ Changes

🚪 Preview of *.localhost subdomain gateway support with http proxy (WIP: #853)

This is WIP, but main functionality is there, as long you have go-ipfs 0.5.0-dev you should see interesting change in the address bar:

Examples

There will be a longer write up, for now enjoy some test links:

• Seamless CIDv0 → CIDv1 upgrade:

  → http://bafybeigdyrzt5sfp7udm7hu76uh7y26nf3efuylqabf3oclgtqy55fbzdi.ipfs.localhost:8080/
• Subdomain gateways are now redirected to localhost one:

  → http://bafybeiemxf5abjwjbikoz4mc3a3dla6ual3jsgpdr4cjr3oz3evfyavhwq.ipfs.localhost:8080/wiki/
• ...and finally, DNSLink is probably the coolest one:

Testing with Docker

Docker makes it easy to test with go-ipfs v0.5.0-dev without changing your local setup.
To start an ephemeral instance run:

$ docker run --rm -it --net=host ipfs/go-ipfs:master-2020-03-19-99c0feb

🐛 Found a bug? Got feedback?

It is pretty significant change security and UX-wise, and I am sure there will be kinks to iron out.
