Hello Guix!
Here is a first draft adding support to distribute and retrieve substitutesover IPFS.  This builds on discussions at the R-B Summit with Héctor Sanjuanof IPFS, lewo of Nix, Pierre Neidhardt, and also on the work FlorianPaul Schmidt posted on guix-devel last month.
The IPFS daemon exposes an HTTP API and the (guix ipfs) module providesbindings to a subset of that API.  This module also implements a custom“directory” format to store directory trees in IPFS (IPFS already provides“UnixFS” and “tar” but they store too many or too few file attributes.)
‘guix publish’ and ‘guix substitute’ use (guix ipfs) tostore and retrieve store items.  Complete directory trees are stored inIPFS “as is”, rather than as compressed archives (nars).  This allows fordeduplication in IPFS.  ‘guix publish’ adds a new “IPFS” field innarinfos and ‘guix substitute’ can then query those objects over IPFS.So the idea is that you still get narinfos over HTTP(S), and then youhave the option of downloading substitutes over IPFS.
I’ve pushed these patches in ‘wip-ipfs-substitutes’.  This is rough on theedges and probably buggy, but the adventurous among us might want to giveit a spin.  :-)
Thanks,Ludo’.
Ludovic Courtès (5):  Add (guix json).  tests: 'file=?' now recurses on directories.  Add (guix ipfs).  publish: Add IPFS support.  DRAFT substitute: Add IPFS support.

Hey! Happy new year! This is great news. I'm very glad to see this.I haven't tried this yet but looking at the code there are a coupleof things to point out.
1) The doc strings usually refer to the IPFS HTTP API as GATEWAY. go-ipfshas a read/write API (on :5001) and a read-only API that we call "gateway"and which runs on :8080. The gateway, apart from handling most of theread-only methods from the HTTP API, also handles paths like "/ipfs/<cid>"or "/ipns/<name>" gracefully, and returns an autogenerated webpage fordirectory-type CIDs. The gateway does not allow to "publish". Therefore I thinkthe doc strings should say "IPFS daemon API" rather than "GATEWAY".
2) I'm not proficient enough in schema to grasp the details of the"directory" format. If I understand it right, you keep a separate manifestobject listing the directory structure, the contents and the executable bitfor each. Thus, when adding a store item you add all the files separately andthis manifest. And when retrieving a store item you fetch the manifest andreconstruct the tree by fetching the contents in it (and applying theexecutable flag). Is this correct? This works, but it can be improved:
You can add all the files/folders in a single request. If I'mreading it right, now each files is added separately (and gets pinnedseparately). It would probably make sense to add it all in a single request,letting IPFS to store the directory structure as "unixfs". You canadditionally add the sexp file with the dir-structure and executable flagsas an extra file to the root folder. This would allow to fetch the whole thingwith a single request too /api/v0/get?arg=<hash>. And to pin a single hashrecursively (and not each separately). After getting the whole thing, youwill need to chmod +x things accordingly.
It will probably need some trial an error to get the multi-part rightto upload all in a single request. The Go code HTTP Clients doingthis can be found at:
https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-files/blob/master/multifilereader.go#L96
As you see, a directory part in the multipart will have the content-type Headerset to "application/x-directory". The best way to see how "abspath" etc is setis probably to sniff an `ipfs add -r <testfolder>` operation (localhost:5001).
Once UnixFSv2 lands, you will be in a position to just drop the sexp filealtogether.
Let me know if you have any doubts, I'll make my best to answer them. In themeantime I'll try to get more familiar with Guix.
Cheers,
Hector
PS. There is a place where it says "ifps" instead of "ipfs". A very common typo.

Yes, I’m well aware of “unixfs”. The problems, as I see it, is that itstores “too much” in a way (we don’t need to store the mtimes orpermissions; we could ignore them upon reconstruction though), and “notenough” in another way (the executable bit is lost, IIUC.)

Yes, that makes sense. In the meantime, I guess we have to keep usingour own format.
What are the performance implications of adding and retrieving files oneby one like I did? I understand we’re doing N HTTP requests to thelocal IPFS daemon where “ipfs add -r” makes a single request, but thisalone can’t be much of a problem since communication is happeninglocally. Does pinning each file separately somehow incur additionaloverhead?
Thanks for your feedback!

Actually the only metadata that Unixfs stores is size:https://github.com/ipfs/go-unixfs/blob/master/pb/unixfs.protoand by allmeans the amount of metadata is negligible for the actual data storedand serves to give you a progress bar when you are downloading.
Having IPFS understand what files are part of a single item is importantbecause you can pin/unpin,diff,patch all of them as a whole. Unixfsalso takes care of handling the case where the directories need tobe sharded because there are too many entries. When the userputs the single root hash in ipfs.io/ipfs/<hash>, it will displaycorrectly the underlying files and the people will beable to navigate the actual tree with both web and cli. Note thatevery file added to IPFS is getting wrapped as a Unixfs blockanyways. You are just saving some "directory" nodes by addingthem separately.
There is an alternative way which is using IPLD to implement a customblock format that carries the executable bit information and nothingelse. But I don't see significant advantages at this point for the extrawork it requires.

Yes, pinning separately is slow and incurs in overhead. Pins are storedin a merkle tree themselves so it involves reading, patching and saving. Thisgets quite slow when you have very large pinsets because your pins block sizegrow. Your pinset will grow very large if you do this. Additionally thepinning operation itself requires global lock making it more slow.
But, even if it was fast, you will not have a way to easily unpinanything that becomes obsolete or have an overview of to where thingsbelong. It is also unlikely that a single IPFS daemon will be able tostore everything you build, so you might find yourself using IPFS Clustersoon to distribute the storage across multiple nodes and then you willbe effectively adding remotely.

Yes, the format I came up with also store the size so we can eventuallydisplay a progress bar.

Isn’t there a way, then, to achieve the same behavior with the customformat? The /api/v0/add entry point has a ‘pin’ argument; I suppose wecould leave it to false except when we add the top-level “directory”node? Wouldn’t that give us behavior similar to that of Unixfs?

Hmm weird. When I do /api/v0/add, I’m really just passing a bytevector; there’s no notion of a “file” here, AFAICS. Or am I missingsomething?

Currently, ‘guix publish’ stores things as long as they are requested,and then for the duration specified with ‘--ttl’. I suppose we couldhave similar behavior with IPFS: if an item hasn’t been requested forthe specified duration, then we unpin it.
Does that make sense?

Yes. What you could do is to add every file flatly/separately (with pin=false)and at the end add an IPLD object with references to all thefiles that you added and including the exec bit information (and size?).This is just a JSON file:
{ "name": "package name", "contents": [ { "path": "/file/path", # so you know where to extract it later "exec": true, "ipfs": { "/": "Qmhash..." } }, ...}
This needs to be added to IPFS with the /api/v0/dag/put endpoint (thisconverts it to CBOR - IPLD-Cbor is the actual block format used here).When this is pinned (?pin=true), this will pin all the things referencedfrom it recursively in the way we want.
So this will be quite similar to unixfs. But note that if this blobever grows over the 2M block-size limit because you have a package withmany files, you will need to start solving problems that unixfs solvesautomatically now (directory sharding).
Because IPLD-cbor is supported, ipfs, the gateway etc will know how todisplay these manifests, the info in it and their links.

They are wrapped in Unixfs blocks anyway by default. From the momentthe file is >256K it will get chunked into several pieces anda Unixfs block (or multiple, if a really big file) is necessary toreference them. In this case the root hash will be a Unixfs nodewith links to the parts.
There is a "raw-leaves" option which does not wrap the individualblocks with unixfs, so if the file is small to not be chunked,you can avoid the default unixfs-wrapping this way.

I should add that even if you want to /add all files separately (and thenput the IPLD manifest I described above), you can still add them all in the samerequest (it becomes easier as you just need to put more parts in the multipartand don't have to worry about names/folders/paths).
The /add endpoint will forcefully close the HTTP connection for every/add (long story) and small delays might add up to a big one. Specially relevantif using IPFS Cluster, where /add might send the blocks somewhere else and doesneeds to do some other things.

Yes, in fact I wanted IPFS Cluster to support a TTL so that things areautomatically unpinned when it expires too.

Do I understand correctly that the only reason you don't just store nar files is for deduplication? Reading [this page][1] suggests to me that you might be overthinking it. IPFS already uses a content-driven chunking algorithm that might provide good enough deduplication on its own. It also looks like you can use your own chunker, so a future improvement could be implementing a custom chunker that makes sure to split nar files at the file boundaries within them.

Hi!
(Re-sending to debbugs, sorry for the double email :p)
A little update/recap after many months! :)
I talked with Héctor and some other people from IPFS + I reviewed Ludo'spatch so now I have a little better understanding of the current stateof affair.
- We could store the substitutes as tarballs on IPFS, but this has some possible downsides:
- We would need to use IPFS' tar chunker to deduplicate the content of the tarball. But the tar chunker is not well maintained currently, and it's not clear whether it's reproducible at the moment, so it would need some more work.
- Tarballs might induce some performance cost. Nix had attempted something similar in the past and this may have incurred a significant performance penalty, although this remains to be confirmed. Lewo?
- Ludo's patch stores all files on IPFS individually. This way we don't need to touch the tar chunker, so it's less work :) This raises some other issues however:
- Extra metadata: IPFS stores files on UnixFSv1 which does not include the executable bit.
- Right now we store a s-exp manifest with a list of files and a list of executable bits. But maybe we don't have to roll out our own.
- UnixFSv1 has some metadata field, but Héctor and Alex did not recommend using it (not sure why though).
- We could use UnixFSv2 but it's not released yet and it's unclear when it's going to be released. So we can't really count on it right now.
- IPLD: As Héctor suggested in the previous email, we could leverage IPLD and generate a JSON object that references the files with their paths together with an "executable?" property. A problem would arise if this IPLD object grows over the 2M block-size limit because then we would have to shard it (something that UnixFS would do automatically for us).
- Flat storage vs. tree storage: Right now we are storing the files separately, but this has some shortcomings, namely we need multiple "get" requests instead of just one, and that IPFS does not "know" that those files are related. (We lose the web view of the tree, etc.) Storing them as tree could be better. I don't understand if that would work with the "IPLD manifest" suggested above. Héctor?
- Pinning: Pinning all files separately incurs an overhead. It's enough to just pin the IPLD object since it propagates recursively. When adding a tree, then it's no problem since pinning is only done once.
- IPFS endpoint calls: instead of adding each file individually, it's possible to add them all in one go. Can we add all files at once while using a flat storage? (I.e. not adding them all under a common root folder.)
To sum up, here is what remains to be done on the current patch:
- Add all files in one go without pinning them.- Store as the file tree? Can we still us the IPLD object to reference the files in the tree? Else use the "raw-leaves" option to avoid wrapping small files in UnixFS blocks.- Remove the Scheme manifest if IPLD can do.- Generate the IPLD object and pin it.
Any corrections?Thoughts?
Cheers!

UnixFSv1 is not an option because it lacks the executable bit; UnixFSv2would be appropriate, though it stores timestamps that we don’t need(not necessarily a problem).

I don’t consider the web view a strong argument :-) since we could writetools to deal with whatever format we use.
Regarding multiple GET requests: we could pipeline them, and it seemsmore like an implementation detail to me. The real question is whethermaking separate GET requests prevents some optimization in IPFS.

Again, is the concern that we’re making one GET and thus one round tripper file, or is there some additional cost under the hood?
Thanks for the summary and explanations!

Thanks for the update Pierre! Also adding Alex, Jessica, Eric and Andrewfrom the package managers discussions at IPFS Camp as FYI.
Generating the ipld manifest with the metadata and the tree of files shouldalso be fine AFAIK - I’m sure Hector and Eric can expand more on how tocompose them, but data storage format shouldn’t make a big difference forthe ipld manifest.

There are reasons why we are proposing to create a single DAG with anIPLD object at the root. Pinning has a big overhead because itinvolves locking, reading, parsing, and writing an internal pin-DAG. Thisis specially relevant when the pinset is very large.
Doing multiple GET requests also has overhead, like being unable to usea single bitswap session (which, when downloading something new means abig overhead since every request will have to find providers).
And it's not just the web view, it's the ability to walk/traverse allthe object related to a given root natively, which allows also to comparemultiple trees and to be more efficient for some things ("pin update"for example). Your original idea is to create a manifest withreferences to different parts. I'm just asking you tocreate that manifest in a format where those references are understoodnot only by you, the file creator, but by IPFS and any tool that canread IPLD, by making this a IPLD object (which is just a json).
The process of adding "something" to ipfs is as follows.
----1. Add to IPFS: multipart upload equivalent to "ipfs add -r":
~/ipfstest $ ipfs add -r -q .QmXVgwHR2c8KiPPxaoZAj4M4oNGW1qjZSsxMNE8sLWZWTP
2. Add manifest as IPLD object. dag/put a json file like:
cat <<EOF | ipfs dag put{ "executables": ["ipfstest/1.txt"], "root": { "/": "QmXVgwHR2c8KiPPxaoZAj4M4oNGW1qjZSsxMNE8sLWZWTP" }}EOF---
That's it "QmXVgwHR2c8KiPPxaoZAj4M4oNGW1qjZSsxMNE8sLWZWTP" is the rootof your package files.
"bafyreievcw5qoowhepwskcxybochrui65bbtsliuy7r6kyail4w5lyqnjm"is the root of your manifest file with the list of executablesand a pointer to the other root.

OK, I see. Put this way, it seems like creating a DAG with an IPLDobject as its root is pretty compelling.
Thanks for clarifying!

Héctor mentioned a possible issue with the IPLD manifest growing too big(in case of too many files in a package), that is, above 2MB.Then we would need to implement some form of sharding.
Héctor, do you confirm? Any idea on how to tackle this elegantly?

Doing the DAG node the way I proposed it (referencing a single root) should beok... Unless you put too many executable files in that list, it should largelystay within the 2MB limit.

The reason not to use the UnixFSv1 metadata field was that it's in the spechttps://github.com/ipfs/specs/tree/master/unixfs#data-format but it's notreally been implemented. As it stands in v1, you'd have to add explicitmetadata types to the spec (executable, owner?, group?, etc) becauseprotobufs need to know about everything ahead of time and eachimplementation would have update to implement those. This is all possible& not a technical blocker, but since most effort is centred around UnixFSv2the timescales might not fit with people's requirements.
The more pragmatic approach Hector suggested was to wrap a CID thatresolves to the UnixFSv1 file in a JSON object that you could use to storeapplication-specific metadata - something similar to the UnixFSv1.5 sectionhttps://github.com/ipfs/camp/blob/master/DEEP_DIVES/package-managers/README.md#unixfs-v15in our notes from the Package Managers deep dive we did at camp.

Hi Guix,
I've rebased Ludovic's patch on master(08d8c2d3c08e4f35325553e75abc76da40630334),resolving merge conflicts.
Make and make check succeed, except fortests/cve.scm and tests/swh.scm. For completeness,I've attached the logs of the failing tests.I don't think they rare related to the changesin the patch, though.
I most likely won't have time to test and completethis patch in the near future.
