Low Power Mode #4137
Comments
First step would be probably running go-ipfs in DHT client mode: We are working on connection closing which should further reduce the number of connections thus reducing bandwidth and power usage. |
Thanks :) |
Yeah, as @Kubuxu pointed out you probably want to use |
Note: Bitswap sessions (#3786) will help reduce background traffic significantly. |
Sweet-IPFS 0.2.2 adds a "low power" mode by using this config

Lines 171 to 187 in 6f730dc
Future work would be to default to a pool of gateways hosting blocks / CARs and starting up P2P/DHT only as a fallback, but that would be tracked in a separate issue. |
Type: Feature
Severity: Medium
Description:
IPFS on Android (with IPFSDroid) already works kinda well, but having the app running is currently not an option, because it sucks your battery empty in no time. Would it be possible, to implement an API call, that switches a node into low power (and possibly also into low bandwidth) mode, so that running this on mobile devices is more doable? Killing the node all the time would be another way, but that does kinda defeat the purpose of IPFS.
