Wonder if it's related to any CloudFlare shenanigans?

Tried to see if I could get the file from Google's cache or The Wayback Machine. No dice.

Came here to ask about this too.

podman install failing here too due to boostchicken.io being down.

@boostchicken any update on a fix or mirror for the files?

Thanks so much.

Sidenote, does podman actually work on recent versions of UDM?

I thought you needed to use another approach to run containers where this package is not needed.

This seems to be a workaround: #533 (comment)

I'd say do this at your own risk, though. Seems like it's just an old backup stored on someone's Nextcloud instance. I am not familiar with this host or why other people here have been deciding to use it. There's no way to easily validate the authenticity of the files or if they are malicious. But the binary stored on that server supposedly comes with podman 3.4.4. I guess the question is who wants podman bad enough?

Maybe we should mirror these artifacts elsewhere.

Can you attach the podman zip to this comment thread that you had hosted so we can at least download it in the interim? Or point us to the source that's in it? Whatever will allow us to get through this?

WE are alive! PLease test it, works from here. I figured out why Traefik was causing odd issues and got it fixed as well.

Thanks!

The code doesn't seem to line-up with the files listed. That is; accoring to the website file list, UDM has a unique zip file, while UDM-PRO and UDM-SE share a file. Comparing that to the code:

case "$(udm_model)" in
udmse | udmpro)
  DESIRED_ZIPFILE="$(udm_model)-podman-install.zip"
  ;;
udm)
  # base UDM works fine with udmpro podman version, but has issues with udmse variant
  DESIRED_ZIPFILE="udmpro-podman-install.zip"
  DESIRED_ZIPFILE="udmpro-podman-install.zip"
  ;;
*)
  # shrug
  # udmse-podman-install.zip seems to work fine on UDM 2.4.x
  true
  ;;
esac

UDM-SE and UDM-Pro should use their unique podman build, while UDM should 'fallback' to the UDM-Pro version (and has issues with the SE version...). Shall I make a seperate issue for this?

Hey @boostchicken -- looks like your site is still down. Are you able to provide the files or a mirror for podman-install?

@boostchicken maybe consider using a pinning service like pinata, or upload into github releases for hosting

Maybe instead of your custom domain, we could try a couple of ipfs gateways as backup? Can you post the IPFS hash here?

But yeah it looks like ipns doesn't resolve to anything for it

I am not sure why everybody is ignoring this and #533 (comment) this solves your issue!

Because it puts the trust into a random other server. You're installing a binary that could include whoknowswhat

(Not saying the current ipfs hosted one is better, but still)

I went ahead and pinned QmZgpm58fKx9qcdZ5CKymT1ABsZXQCsK8efobK7kyExqsb on my pinata.cloud instance and local IPFS node. Hope that helps with keeping the share alive

Here's the direct IPFS link to not rely on IPNS, in case it goes down again: https://bafybeifitoeyohlgttrcivq6xwfkobueoncwyrdig44izro7q2bhfdkply.ipfs.cf-ipfs.com/

Thanks so much! I recovered most of my raidz1 zfs drive but lost my ipfs server, luckily I had a up to date back up in Pinata which is where it is now.

You can probably remove your Pinata pin no need for two on the same infra. Your call, doesn't hurt anything.

My ipns dns links are hard coded to my cids via cloud flare, If you give me permission I'll make sure it round robins between me and you.

I think it shouldn't matter, the more nodes (local, hosted, etc) have the cid pinned, the more distributed it is, and the the easier it is for the network to retrieve it again. So me pinning them will make your cloudflare ipfs gateway also quicker in retrieving it 👍

Pinata isn't very fast, best would be to have an actual server somewhere pinning it, but then it may just be better to self-host and not use IPFS haha. But if you have a VPS idling around somewhere, pinning the cid on that one would probably have the best effects

Thanks for the education I am still an ipfs noob, I'll be putting it on my server with redundant 1gig internet.

Is there any way to pin it locally from Pinata?

Here's a crashcourse:

  • You put the file on your own IPFS node (or pinata or wherever), and you get a CID for it
  • If someone wants to download the file, the IPFS network will search and connect over different peers until it finds peers that have the file with this CID
  • If no node has the CID anymore, the data is considered deleted off the IPFS network

If you type "bafybeifitoeyohlgttrcivq6xwfkobueoncwyrdig44izro7q2bhfdkply.ipfs.cf-ipfs.com", the CloudFlare IPFS node is looking through the IPFS network to find bafybeifitoeyohlgttrcivq6xwfkobueoncwyrdig44izro7q2bhfdkply, then downloads it from the peers that have it, and caches it locally to make it accessible faster. If you have IPFS running locally, and only you have the file, then CloudFlare will download it from your IPFS node.

If you "pin" a CID on an IPFS node, be it local, Pinata, your server, or somewhere else, the IPFS node downloads the file to its local storage and starts advertising it, effectively increasing the number of nodes that own the CID.

So if my local machine pins it, my pinata pins it, your pinata pins it and your server pins it, we'll have a lot more nodes available that replicate the data, effectively making it more available.

(Personal take: out of the options provided, running an IPFS node on your server as an additional pin to your pinata seems like the best option. It likely has the best upload/download rate. Pinata is quite slow)
