There was a problem hiding this comment.
I believe this was just a dev alias for ws-star.discovery.libp2p.io

For now we add a TAR with Web UI as a PoC. Next step is to make it more generic. There should be a list of CIDs that should be recursively precached and added to node during the boot.
- async import of TAR archives - streaming where possible - makes webui open instantly in Chromium Known Issue: /api/v0/add does not work with latest js-ipfs, needs to be addressed before merging this to master.

This PR adds precache logic for Web UI which is executed when IPFS API client (or full node) starts.
The main purpose is to make Web UI load instantly in Brave and work in offline environments.
closes #765, closes #682, part of #716 🦁
How does it work?
During the build .tar archives are placed in
add-on/dist/precache.This makes them available to fetch over
*-extension://{extension-id}/dist/precache/*URLs.Right now we have only one archive: a 22MB file with release version of Web UI.
When IPFS client starts, preache logic is executed:
*-extension://{extension-id}/dist/precache/*.tarChecklist
(keeps a single place to update instead of two)
Known Issues
/api/v0/adddoes not work with latest js-ipfs (and we can't use older version due to gc-lock bug breaking precache process)
