Description

I have an ipfs gateway running on a kuberentes, all ports exposed and appendAddress has the ip and random port(4001) of the ipfs gateway node, usePubsub is true and on running ipfs name resolve & through ipfs.io i’m able to resolve IPNS hash.

But I have not been able to resolve IPNS hash through the gateway on port 8080.

I keep getting the error could not resolve name.

[lidel]

@Man-Jain are you failing to resolve on the same machine that published the record that works fine on ipfs.io, or a different one?

[Man-Jain]

Yes, failing to resolve on the same machine from which the record was published. It's also not able to resolve any other IPNS record not published from that node.

[Jorropo]

There are two bugs here:

1. Your IPNS entries should be cached by your own node.
   There were a bug that happend during some refactor but I reverted the problematic commit. ipfs/boxo@1226276
2. Even if cache fail you should be able to reach on the network to fetch the record you posted yourself.

So I tested this behaviour (fetching my own record), I can see my own node is reaching out to the DHT

which means at least self-caching is broken. However it loads for me (resolved with the DHT).

[hacdias]

I will likely look (and possibly cleanup) boxo/namesys when working on ipfs/boxo#329, so I can take this one.

[Jorropo]

I found out 3 bugs that prevents IPNS from working quickly right now.
They make it always wait 1 minute before resolving any IPNS record, even if you get the first record in 10ms and DHT quorum in 200ms.
https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C04M8232QRW/p1688125350678669?thread_ts=1688118049.947789&cid=C04M8232QRW

The DHT quorum is between 200~400ms for me, this is the expected IPNS resolution speed and would be if we were not artificially slowing it down.

Triage notes:

• P0→P1 since IPNS works, just slower than it could
• We will most likely park this until @hacdias is back from vacation (unless someone else has bandwidth to debug and propose fix)

2023-07-06 conversation: in addition to doing the fix and test, we need to create metrics and have it show up in Thunderdome. @lidel will create the followup issue for splitting out metrics between dnslink and ipns and making sure it shows up in Thunderdome.
