IPNS - beyond the basics - no IPNS pinning service? Any docs on this?

Help

First of all my no-backend CMS apparently isn’t possible yet, because:

IPFS in browsers have very limited (essentially no) access to the IPFS network.

Yeah, that is an issue that brings an immediate halt to this project. Bummer :frowning:

:slight_smile: You’re right. There is.

In my future CMS, there will be a Submit button somewhere. In its onClick event handler call-back, I’ll need to do the equivalent of:

  1. ipfs add -r website/
  2. ipfs name publish /ipfs/$hash

Whether the phrase “IPNS pinning” includes item 1 or not doesn’t really matter to me, since I already know how to accomplish item 1. For what its worth I thought of it as only meaning item 2.

But I’d also want it to be a remote service so that the js-ipfs node can terminate shortly after 2 has been completed, so that the user can close the web browser.

But it all doesn’t matter if I have to have a backend anyway. I was hoping that js-ipfs was all the backend I was going to need.
