How to modify the gateway about dtube

[skzap]

This app only controls the pictures. So if you remove ipfs.io and only use snap.d.tube for pictures, it should work. If you want videos to load through another gateway for the videos, you will need to edit the player: https://github.com/dtube/embed

Changing to another gateway will probably not be a good solution as it would end up with this new gateway being banned in your country in the future. The only real change that can happen, is implementing js-ipfs into our player for direct loading (without gateway).

modify the gateway

@wg1929 I think you can do a search in the source code for ipfs.io then replace that with an alternative gateway. Here is a list of alternative gateways.

Info from related issues on IPFS repo:

ipfs/kubo#4765

ipfs/community#290

Run your own ipfs daemon: https://ipfs.io/docs/getting-started/

[wg1929]

You did not think seriously about this answer. I certainly have no problem with myself. But what about others? I can't ask everyone to install this

[qwertychouskie]

Use Tor/a VPN.

@wg1929 why don't you make a live fork of dtube with a different gateway.

Why should the rest of the internet change because your country is an oppressive ************ censoring the internet?

Might need other changes not sure never ran this locally. Hopefully the info can help you in getting started.

@skzap I modified the player，But how do you install it?...

[skzap]

in client/views/commons/videos/player.js, just change emb.d.tube for your own modified player !

Our player is hosted with github pages, so you can do the same with your modified player and it will give you a nice url even with https.

[wg1929]

@skzap Can the player be called directly by uploading it to the server?

[wg1929]

@skzap Or modify this https://github.com/dtube/production

[skzap]

Yes the player is a static application too. You can host it on github pages directly and it will give you https://wg1929.github.io/embed link that you can use.

[wg1929]

@skzap Ok, thank you very much

[wg1929]

@skzap Can I modify the player directly here? If so, how to modify https://github.com/dtube/production

@bostrot Does integrating IPFS daemon in a browser will make every person who use this browser to surf freely in any ipfs website without the influence of any existing ban(for example: china ban) ?

[bostrot]

@arni077 Well you don't integrate an IPFS daemon in a browser. You normally create a server with it and then, yes, everyone who has access to this server can access the gateway.

I am not sure if everything would work as expected but you can of course try it.

If you are on mobile you can use the app I made which is available on Google Play and the App Store: https://github.com/bostrot/DTubeViewer where the ipfs gateway can be customized.
