# Fire Portal
|
|
Fire Portal is an experimental IPFS gateway for Handshake domains
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This gateway allows you to access IPFS content through Handshake domain names. It resolves Handshake domains and maps them to their corresponding IPFS content identifiers (CIDs).
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Resolves Handshake domains to IPFS content
|
|
- Uses HNSDoH.com for secure DNS resolution (DoH and DoT supported)
|
|
- Supports TXT records with `ipfs=` and `ip6=` prefixes for IPFS CIDs
|
|
- Caches IPFS content for faster access
|
|
- Simple web interface for manual lookups
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone the repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fireportal.git
|
|
cd fireportal
|
|
|
|
# Install dependencies
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
# Configure environment variables
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env with your settings
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
Edit the `.env` file to configure:
|
|
- IPFS gateway settings
|
|
- Handshake resolution method (DoH, DoT, or local)
|
|
- HNSDoH.com settings
|
|
- Cache settings
|
|
- Server port
|
|
|
|
### Resolution Methods
|
|
Fire Portal supports multiple methods for resolving Handshake domains:
|
|
|
|
- `doh`: Uses DNS-over-HTTPS via HNSDoH.com (default, recommended)
|
|
- `dot`: Uses DNS-over-TLS via HNSDoH.com
|
|
- `local`: Uses a local Handshake resolver
|
|
|
|
### Supported TXT Record Formats
|
|
|
|
Fire Portal supports several TXT record formats for Handshake domains:
|
|
|
|
| Format | Example | Description |
|
|
|--------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `ipfs=Hash...` | `ipfs=QmdbRRQ2CYSFRUEQcUC7TtbsmsWU9411KaHiVJXZFscBNn` | Standard format with equals sign |
|
|
| `ipfs:Hash...` | `ipfs:QmdbRRQ2CYSFRUEQcUC7TtbsmsWU9411KaHiVJXZFscBNn` | Alternative format with colon |
|
|
| `ip6=Hash...` | `ip6=QmdbRRQ2CYSFRUEQcUC7TtbsmsWU9411KaHiVJXZFscBNn` | Legacy format (equivalent to ipfs=) |
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Start the server
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then access Handshake+IPFS content via:
|
|
- `http://localhost:3000/hns/example/` (replace "example" with a Handshake domain)
|
|
- Direct web interface at `http://localhost:3000`
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
### 1. Basic Server Testing
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Start the server
|
|
npm start
|
|
|
|
# Verify the server is running
|
|
curl http://localhost:3000/api/status
|
|
# Should return: {"status":"online","version":"0.1.0"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Testing with Sample Handshake Domains
|
|
You can test with known Handshake domains that have IPFS content:
|
|
|
|
- `http://localhost:3000/hns/welcome/` - The Handshake welcome page
|
|
- `http://localhost:3000/hns/blog.namebase/` - Namebase blog |
