The idea is to make a network where nodes can add values to the DHT (and not store them locally, a value should be stored in the closest node to its key) and others who have the keys (which for me are
sha2-256 multihash) can retrieve these values.So to get these nodes to be in the same network without having to hardcode the addresses etc. I found the pubsub pattern (the code im using is the
pubsubexample in theipfs-camp-2019) that can give me this, and i found a DHT already defined there for routing.This example uses
Provide()to tell nodes that it has a certainCIDand peers :CIDof the value i want to storeCIDbydht.GetClosestPeers()CIDand the value (using thechatexample)key:valueto the storage, it executesdht.Provide()to announce that it has that entrydht.FindProviders()to find a peer having that, and it establishes a connection with it to retrieve the value from its local storage.
