Hi Folks,
Not really sure where to ask this question, so I'll start here.
I've been thinking of migrating our mail infrastructure to a virtual server,
running in the Web3 IPFS cloud - without having a physical IP address
attached to it.
Virtual servers can and do have IP addresses.
Are you *choosing* not to have one, or is it "forced" upon you ?
Do we need a pointer to the Web3 IPFS cloud not to guess what is special
about it ?
https://web3.storage/ suggests that it is about *data*.
I suspect that you cannot *run* anything on it
(except database queries ?).
The obvious question becomes:
How do I publish an address to it?
How do I set up an MX record to point to a socket listener that has nothing but an
IPFS CID to identify it?
I can set up a DNS_Link TXT record, pointing to an
IPNS record - but MX records have to resolve to an FQDN.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts on where to ask the question?
