Simulated Storage Provider
This little software provides a simulated storage provider for demo purpose only.
Features
Deal Proposal
It accepts all boost 1.2.0 deal proposals.
If the proposal comes with HTTP link to download CAR file, it will download the file and construct the blockstore to serve retrievals.
HTTP Retrieval
It accepts all retrieval types, including
- IPFS Gateway
- Payload Retrieval
- Block Retrieval
Bitswap Retrieval
It accepts bitswap retrieval but only if the block exists in downloaded CAR files.
Retrieval Protocols
The SP will return the corresponding retrieval protocols so it will work with
boost provider retrieval-transports f02815405

/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/24001/p2p/12D3KooWDeNSud283YaRmhqbZDynLNmtATBxjUPAUJxtPyEXXp9u \

Index Announcement
The provider does not make advertisements to IPNI.
How to use it
$ ./sim-sp run -h
NAME:
sim-sp run - Run the simulated storage provider f02815405
USAGE:
sim-sp run [command options] [arguments...]
OPTIONS:
--listen value [ --listen value ] Addresses to listen on for listening for incoming storage deals or retrieval deals (default: "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/24001", "/ip6/::/tcp/24001") [$SIM_SP_LISTEN]
--key value Private key to use for libp2p identity encoded with base64 (default: Built-in key for 12D3KooWDeNSud283YaRmhqbZDynLNmtATBxjUPAUJxtPyEXXp9u) [$SIM_SP_KEY]
--http value HTTP bind address for serving HTTP retrieval (default: ":7778") [$SIM_SP_HTTP]
--car-dir value Directory to store CAR files in (default: "./cars") [$SIM_SP_CAR_DIR]

How to make deal with it
You just need to send deals to f02815405
and make sure sim-sp
is running locally.
How does it work
f02815405
is a real miner on the chain with a real peer ID and libp2p address. The private key and the address is provided as the default value for --key
and --listen
options.
When you make a deal with f02815405
, it will lookup the multiaddr of the miner which will connect to sim-sp
that runs locally.
