Dataset Containers about container-demos

[jbenet]

• ipfs mount (fuse in the container -- probably need to run dockerd in privileged mode)
• prepared datasets

[hosh]

@jbenet do you think there is a way to have the dataset inside the container?

Though that might be a stretch, carting it around. As a seed it would work very well though. Hmm.

[jbenet]

@hosh oh yeah we could ship a container with a node initialized and the data already added to the container. We'd just have to generate an ephemeral ID on first run (so multiple containers have different IDs).

[hosh]

@jbenet roger

[jbenet]

@hosh another way would be to just issue an ipfs pin add -r command through the http api after the container boots. in that case the data would have to be somethere already though.

[hosh]

@jbenet I didn't know the http API lets you issue ipfs commands. Huh.

[jbenet]

Yeah that's how the cli issues commands when daemon is on. (And why the api is separate from gateway route, so we can expose gateway without exposing api)
