Hi,all
I ddint want my files exposed to the world so I reset my bootstrap as a few local machine ip address and I also reset the bootstrap of those machines.
it went well at first,but recently I found that my machine be connected to many other node I dont know…
so what’s the problem is and how to solve it?
@Tim you’re trying to form a private network. There’s functionality to support that. @kubuxu where are the best docs for private networks?
Checkout https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#private-networks
If you have any more questions ask here.
Hi, thanks for ur tips.
I go get the code and I made a file “swarm.key” on the path
but it doesnt work and actually I dont know how to establish the private and run the network,tnx
Just making sure, swarm.key contains key in correct format, right?
Then as you are on windows, could you try converting this file to Unix line ends?
I crated https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-pnet/issues/12 to track it but it might be something else in your case.
tnx, so what’s the format of key?
You can use https://github.com/Kubuxu/go-ipfs-swarm-key-gen to generate it.
Example:
> cat $IPFS_PATH/swarm.key
/key/swarm/psk/1.0.0/
/b16/
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
hi， I generated the key as follow:
but there isnt any file like swarm.key under the path “~./.ipfs”（I didnt set $IPFS_PATH environment path）.
so I created a swarm.key like
my machine environment is windows 10
the 3rd line is just hex string of 32 characters (16 bytes).
