i think i just had it get the size, but it didnt have anything
there are also a lot of test examples that might be able to help as references
do i need to set access control when not creating?
or could that cause issues
i would use just .determineAddress and .open methods, which separates those parts nicely
you might be overwriting the db using create
we are in the process of revamping the api to make it easier to use
db.address.toString() is it different from .determineAddress?
i have the full path from the former
determineAddress will basically create a manifest and return the address of the manifest
you can use the address in the .open method to get the db/store
the access control options are in determineAddress and not in .open because they are part of the manifest which is immutable
okay, adding a lot of entries causes write events publishing on pubsub
but still not persisting
how long should it take to open the store usually
if i havent opened it before
and it resides on another node
the manifest is persisted in ipfs, other nodes need it to open the database. if another node cant resolve it then the nodes arent able to communicate for whatever reason
if it can find it after a while thats pretty normal but can be sped up by connecting the nodes so the content is found faster
ipns wont help here i think
we need pubsub and ipfs/ipld which are a bit different
setting logger to log just log the cache stuff is not super helpful haha
just tells me its trying
if you want to try you can downgrade orbitdb to 0.27 but i dont think this will help
i think its a ipld issue? unable to open database: unable to fetch database manifest, timed out
it was trying to open something along the lines of
Post "http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v0/block/get?arg=%2Fipld%2Fbafyreif[stuff]66sccjv4"
unless that is a different node than the one the manifest was created on
but you still cant fetch it from ipfs/ipld
can you still not load anything on the node that wrote the entries in the first place
im using orbitdb control center to create to try to reduce the amount of potentially wrong things
ill try using my apps creation settings and seeing what happens
still times out if i set a timeout
otherwise hangs?
its broken for the block api + ipfs http api
i set it to time out after 5 seconds so i wouldnt be sitting for hours haha
but trying to access a local store does not hang!
but still no writes
is orbit address supposed to be all lowercase, actually
i noticed when i created a db in control center it was mixed case
