IPNS Resolver

IPFS Name Service Resolver

Are you tired of encountering the "504 Gateway Time-out" error from ipfs.io and dweb.link ?

To access your IPNS name, just use URL https://your-ipns-hash.ipns.surf

How to save and publish a webpage to IPFS and IPNS?

1. Start your IPFS daemon:

# ipfs daemon

2. Create an example.html file on your local disk.

3. Store your file on IPFS:

# ipfs add --cid-version 1 example.html

It will return a CID (hash) for this version of the file. You can access your file through the following URL: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/your-cid

Example output:
added bafkreibvqu2vgcvyjlrwrqxldelrcr3mug45xrv56qcjfhwans66pa4jlm example.html

Where "bafkreibvqu2vgcvyjlrwrqxldelrcr3mug45xrv56qcjfhwans66pa4jlm" is the CID of your file. You can use the following URLs to access your file:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafkreibvqu2vgcvyjlrwrqxldelrcr3mug45xrv56qcjfhwans66pa4jlm or https://bafkreibvqu2vgcvyjlrwrqxldelrcr3mug45xrv56qcjfhwans66pa4jlm.ipfs.dweb.link

4. Publish your link to IPNS:

# ipfs name publish /ipfs/cid-of-your-file

It will return the hash of the IPNS record for your file. You can use this hash as a subdomain of ipns.surf

Example output:
Published to k51qzi5uqu5dipo4719isofxynwutbh3zdhhtqbfgqcp3sr4gxarf2vsniqtnq: /ipfs/bafkreibvqu2vgcvyjlrwrqxldelrcr3mug45xrv56qcjfhwans66pa4jlm

Where "k51qzi5uqu5dipo4719isofxynwutbh3zdhhtqbfgqcp3sr4gxarf2vsniqtnq" is the hash of your IPNS record for this file.

Example of the IPNS URL:

https://k51qzi5uqu5dipo4719isofxynwutbh3zdhhtqbfgqcp3sr4gxarf2vsniqtnq.ipns.surf

Afterwards, you can use this URL permanently on any web pages, messengers, or wherever you need this file.

5. To update your file, run the "add" command again to obtain a new CID:

# ipfs add example.html

6. Publish the new version of your file:

# ipfs name publish /ipfs/new-cid-of-your-file

7. The latest version of your file will always be accessible through the IPNS URL that you obtained in STEP 4.

Enjoy! ;)
