Falcon\n\nFalcon is a port of the official IPFS node implementation [Kubo](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo).\nIt is one critical component of the [Gateway3](https://www.gw3.io) project, which tries to provide a decentralized IPFS gateway alternative.\nThe falcon node is able to run by its own and acts like a normal IPFS node.\nHowever, it needs to join the [Gateway3](https://www.gw3.io) protocol in order to make its service accessible from the world.\n\n# Setup\nFalcon `checks` runs against major Gateway APIs to ensure they return expected response.\nThe `checks` run requires subdomain to work.\nHowever, localhost does not support subdomain by default.\nWe use local `dnsmasq` service to mock the DNS for localhost resolution.\n\nUse brew to install and start `dnsmasq` on MacOS:\n```\nbrew install dnsmasq\nsudo brew services start dnsmasq\n```\n\nAdd the following line to /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf and restart `dnsmasq`.\n```\naddress=/localhost/127.0.0.1\n```\n\nUpdate resolver so that DNS query for domain `localhost` is forwarded to `dnsmasq`:\n```\nsudo mkdir -p /etc/resolver\n```\n\nCreate a file /etc/resolver/localhost with content:\n```\nnameserver 127.0.0.1\n```\n\n# How to Run\nRun `make` under the repo directory to start Falcon node in loner mode.\nThe loner mode is the same as prod or dev mode except it does not communicate with other [Gateway3](https://www.gw3.io) services.\nIn this mode, you can test Falcon's API using end-to-end checks by running `make checks`.\nThe end-to-end checks report successes or failures for varioues APIs.\nIt is recommended to run checks against changes made to node.\n\nRun `make prod` or `make dev` to start other modes.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphoton-storage%2Ffalcon","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fphoton-storage%2Ffalcon","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphoton-storage%2Ffalcon/lists"}
