IPFS runs as a Service Worker!

[flyingzumwalt]

Run an IPFS node inside a service worker and serve all your IPFS Urls directly from IPFS!

Repo:
https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-service-worker

Please use this issue to discuss roadmap, etc around this worker. Code discussions go in the repo.

@diasdavid will add a link to a video with demo and discussion from the 22 May All Hands call

All right, after 14 failed attempts on trimming and uploading the video using 3 different apps, I finally managed to go around Zoom's corrupted files and upload the cut from the All Hands with this demo, woof!

Apologies for the wait

@diasdavid Super stoked on seeing this finally working!!! 👍

I was inspired and wrote https://github.com/linonetwo/ipfs-browser-gateway
It's very easy to use ipfs in the browser now.

[daviddias]

@linonetwo that's rad! Wanna deploy it somewhere so that it is easy to share it with others?

[linonetwo]

@diasdavid OK~ I'll deploy it to now.sh after I remove all hardcoded parts

@vasco-santos is pushing this endeavor bit further in ipfs-shipyard/service-worker-gateway:

An IPFS gateway fully running on a Service Worker, in order to serve all your IPFS urls directly!

• Foreign Fetch for Service Workers got removed from the spec: Remove foreign fetch w3c/ServiceWorker#1188
• Notes on dealing with lack of Foreign Fetch: Foreign Fetch for Service Workers arewedistributedyet/arewedistributedyet#32
  • Extracted potential iframe-based workaround: Origin isolation warnings, tests and enforcement service-worker-gateway#30

just posting this link here #137 for the relevancy

I believe end-to-end example of using js-ipfs node in SharedWorker from ServiceWorker added in ipfs/js-ipfs#3374 is the best we can do on the web platform for now.
