I am trying to deploy one IPFS node on kubernetes. At the moment I have been capable of spinning up a node, and if I am using an Ingress, I can even access the gateway…
but, as I am using a NodePort Service and Ingresses (for the gateway) I can’t ping or connect directly to the node. Probably I should customise somehow IPFS to use the k8s-assigned Service port but I still have to play with it!
Has anybody already accomplished to deploy correctly IPFS on kubernetes?
I will try my best to publish some manifests when I have time, but if somebody already did that it would be cool!
I’ve invited Yuvi Panda who can hopefully help answer your question, I know they have some experience with IPFS + Kubernetes Possibly, @FrankPetrilli, @dgrisham or @ZenGround0 from GH could answer as well.
Thank you!
I saw the git repository but it is using a different Docker image, and also it is not providing any service.
I tried to build it using a Service with NodePort configured, but when I try to connect from remote to the IP_NODE:NodePort (using the correct notation) it was not working, even if k8s was processing the Service correctly… The only idea I had is to manually change the configuration for IPFS to listen to the NodePort used, but it is not the best way IMHO.
Will have a more detailed reply later but wanted to link to https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/pull/1192 which should make it easier to install ipfs on kubernetes. I haven’t added an ingress there yet but should do soon!
I am not super versed in how ipfs works yet - can you tell me what you mean by connect ‘directly’?
Hey guys!
Almost 3 years later, I am attempting the same on federated cluster with 2 or more member k8s clusters. Has anyone been able to achieve this use-case or similar?
I also want to understand communication between IPFS clusters (obviously, in separate k8s clusters)
Possibly,
