(Guix) Substitutes over GNUnet

The message queue code seems to work, there is a configuration parser, there is an API to the NSE client, so we almost have enough functionality for a demonstration ... See examples/nse-web.scm I made a web interface instead. (examples/web.scm) Incomplete but good enough. Incomplete but decent? It became build instructions instead.

(Informative) How to use GNUnet FS without networking

For previous attempts, see the guix mailing list and guile-gnunet. (At cost of not finding and sending content from / to other peers, of course)

--no-grafts: its only for testing, so not spending any time with grafting is appreciated.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell gnunetdir=`guix build gnunet --no-grafts` OLDPATH=$PATH PATH=$gnunetdir/bin:$gnunetdir/lib/gnunet/libexec:$PATH export PATH; hash gnunet-service-fs& gnunet-service-datastore& # Now have some fun without having to worry about # any potential security bugs! #+END_SRC

DONE Publishing and fetching directories over GNUnet

Example usage of publish-store: #+BEGIN_SRC shell guile -L . -e '(@ (gnu gnunet scripts publish-store) main)' -- -i `guix build hello` #+END_SRC

Output: #+BEGIN_SRC fundamental Published at gnunet://fs/chk/DD0C9CM0EG1WPV5MQMWJ1B6QPVPR4R0DEZH8EW2BPASV9B9Q13P2TXWWX59RRBYGSS29TJEJE8WBNS97WQBDWHB7PGE0P21FMNYT83G.YVWEM5SWBHFQR1YFG8TAJD5J3284XDEK144BFY3B2F3BRD678T3HZPDTP7WB18A04N3HT4HC0SZZ6H71XQRVVZNZX2ZGJXXSJXD9KW0.24798 in gnunet-nix-archive-json/0 format #+END_SRC

Example usage of download-store: #+BEGIN_SRC shell guile -L . -e '(@ (gnu gnunet scripts download-store) main)' -- -i $THE_GNUNET_URI -o t # Output: plenty of progress messages ls -R t # Success! #+END_SRC

TODO Doing it efficiently [1/7]

Some proposals (some forthe implementation, some of the directory format):

* [ ] inline tiny files * [ ] parallel downloads * [ ] compress files Potential problem: if some peers use different compressors, then the files will be different --> more duplication on the network, less performant. * [ ] maybe use a binary format instead of JSON * [ ] factor out store names.

Sometimes, changing a build dependency changes very little, perhaps only the embedded store names (e.g. when grafting). Maybe zero out the store references in the files, and mark the location anv value in the JSON container. This way, less data should be duplicated over the network (which should lead to better performance!). * [X] indexing (letting gnunet-service-fs refer to the store items by file name instead of inserting the store items in a database). This is done by default in the implementation for the gnunet-nix-archive-json/0 format. The former point ‘factor out store names’ will undo this, however (which could be resolved with a Hurd translator or FUSE filesystem). * [ ] contact 'gnunet-service-fs' directly, instead of calling a binary for each file.

TODO Let Guix use a GNUnet substituter

Make the substituters ‘pluggable’ somehow. Maybe allow to use the user's substituter, instead of the system's subsituter? (Practical for testing and experimentation.)

Allow substitutes over http, ipfs, GNUnet, torrents (?). Insert some text about open coding here.

TODO support nar format [1/2]

For easy use from Guix publish & substitute.

[X] for downloading to
[ ] for publishing from

TODO make Guix publish extensible [2/3]

[X] write proposal
[X] submit proposal
[ ] incorporate feedback for ‘narinfo generation hooks’,

TODO make Guix substitute extensible [3/4]

[X] write proposal
[X] make sure it actually works

[X] submit proposal
[ ] incorporate feedback & proposal makes it upstream

Ludovic Courtes (12 Mar 2021): I don’t think my concerns are really addressed :-), but at the same time I think we need a playground for these things so we can actually grownew substitute methods like those you’ve been looking at. Hmmm tricky!

TODO add gnunet extension to guix publish and guix substitute [0/5]

[ ] clean up source code somewhat
[ ] release
[ ] submit package definitions
[ ] submit extra service definitions
[ ] incorporate feedback & code makes it upstream

TODO (external) GNUnet service for Guix System

TODO more TODO

Put it in a container to easy people's minds (including my own). Maybe substitutes in GNS or something? Let's first address the former points.
