[jbenet]

Sprint Goal - Produce various demos of using IPFS to ship + boot VMs and containers.

Sprint Participants - @whyrusleeping, @dylanPowers, @hosh, @kkoroviev

Sprint Deliverables

Each of this items will have a DRI (directly responsible individual).

• Implement a docker registry that uses a local or remote IPFS node (@whyrusleeping)
• Produce assets for these demos:
  • Prereq: Getting ipfs-docker runnable/compilable
  • Deploying container images with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#1 (@hosh)
  • Publishing container tags with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#2 (@hosh)
  • Start a container in 20 machines in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#3 (@hosh)
  • Writable containers with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#4 (@hosh)
    • Prepare VM that can scale X VMs
  • Boot a VM with PXE in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#5 (@hosh)
    • Blocker: Need to find a copy of VMWare (is it free? open-source?)
  • Dataset Containers ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#8 (@jbenet)
  • Boot VMWare .vmx machine in 5 seconds ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#17 (@whyrusleeping)
    • Blocker: vm's take forever to add, makes working on this painful
• Get Blog Ready (@jbenet)
  • Move ipfs-website outside of protocol/websites (@jbenet)
  • Cleanup website generation (@jbenet)
  • Make the blog structure (pick a static blog generator -- likely still metalsmith) (@jbenet)
  • Make the first post (@jbenet)
  • Publish the blog (@jbenet)
• Repo Reorg
  • move repos all to ipfs/ (@jbenet)
  • move jbenet/ipfs -> ipfs/ipfs (@jbenet)
  • move papers from jbenet/ipfs -> ipfs/papers (@jbenet)
  • Repository map (with links to everything) (@dylan)
• Community
  • Periodic Newsletter (@dylan)
  • figure out best way to get one board (@dylan)
    (Waffle.io, potentially we need to modify it)
• Improve IPNS/DHT Reliability (@whyrusleeping)
  • Reduce Bandwidth Usage of DHT (reduce dht bandwidth consumption kubo#986) (@whyrusleeping)
  • Cache public keys to improve latency (cache public keys and use better method for fetching kubo#987) (@whyrusleeping)
  • Collate records received on 'Get' RPC and choose best (@whyrusleeping)
    • Blocker: waiting on feedback for record validity interface/format
• Other
  • Bitswap bottleneck investigation (@whyrusleeping)
  • Bandwidth Metrics (bandwidth metering on streams kubo#969) (@whyrusleeping)
  • rewrite deps after repo move (Reorged from jbenet/go-ipfs to ipfs/go-ipfs kubo#996) (@hosh)
  • fix fuse file owner permissions (Root has ownership of ipfs mount directories kubo#967) (@whyrusleeping)
  • merge mount test PRs (t0030-mount.sh: 2 known breakages vanished kubo#945) (@kkoroviev, @jbenet, @chriscool)
  • dht handler log keys dht-handlers-log-keys kubo#1003 (@jbenet)
  • gobuilder improvements for user friendliness gobuilder improvements kubo#1004 (@jbenet)

Backlog

• fix refs local bug (Fix breakage: t0080-repo refs local bug kubo#994)
• Implement a tool that achieves ipfs-docker run <ipfs-path>
  • Fix Broken Symlinks (ipfs add doesnt handle broken symlinks kubo#979)
• Produce videos for these demos:
  • Deploying container images with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#1
  • Publishing container tags with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#2
  • Start a container in 20 machines in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#3
  • Writable containers with IPFS in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#4
  • Boot a VM with PXE in 5 seconds. ipfs-shipyard/container-demos#5
