    It might not be what you are looking for, but you could have a look and experiment with libp2p. Plenty of stuff to build with that.

  • Libp2p Peerstore Persistence
    1 project | /r/ipfs | 10 Mar 2021
    I am quite new to ipfs and peer to peer work. I am trying to build a simple app that leverages the P2P platform. I have an up and running nodejs libp2p node that can dial and connect with a second node on a separate test device. I am trying to save the second node to my primary node's peerstore. However I noticed that it is not persisted on restart. I followed the instructions here on configuring my node for peerstore persistence to the letter: https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/blob/8e1fc78353cba194c86102dafcd68373b3f9a796/doc/CONFIGURATION.md#configuring-peerstore. However, when I set the secondary node again into my peerstore it still doesn't persist on restart. The setup above did create a mydb folder with log input however so it has definitely implemented a datastore. However I am not sure why my peerstore isn't saving to it.
