A new type of DHT node designed to accelerate the Content Resolution & Content Providing on the IPFS Network. A (cute) Hydra with one belly full of records and many heads (Peer IDs) to tell other nodes about them, charged with rocket boosters to transport other nodes to their destination faster. Only run a hydra-booster on machines with public IP addresses. Having more DHT nodes behind NATs makes DHT queries in general slower, as connecting in generally takes longer and sometimes doesn't even work (resulting in a timeout). The total number of heads a single Hydra can have depends on the resources of the machine it's running on. To get the desired number of heads you may need to run multiple Hydras on multiple machines.

Features

  • Run a hydra booster with a single head
  • Run Multiple Hydras
  • Only run a hydra-booster on machines with public IP addresses
  • When running with -nheads, please make sure to bump the ulimit to something fairly high
  • Peer IDs of Hydra heads are balanced in the DHT
  • A datastore is shared by all Hydra heads but not by all Hydras
