MSX Metadata Hash update

[gr33k]

Ok - this one barely scraped any of the games. Many of these are Japanese, so I did my best to find the content. Most are complete with video and logo. A few are just logos. All of these are games mostly not programs (as there are a few programs I have as well that did not readily have logo/video available). Took quite some time to update these - Please let me know if you aren't able to pull them @thelamer :)

This is the only one that came through, the rest of them cannot be pulled from the network.

Write this to a file and exec it inside the emulatorjs container to pin these cids, this has all the ones you posted:

docker exec -it emulatorjs bash > put the file in like /tmp or another directory > bash pinstuff.sh

[gr33k]

Thanks @thelamer - I did the command and went in to /tmp and created that pinstuff.sh file but got a couple of errors.

Not sure if this is part of the issue or if I am doing something wrong? I have rebuilt the server from scratch due to a raid failure...so I'm sad to see this isn't propagating automatically.

Happy to do whatever I have to do help share this stuff though!

UPDATE: I created a symlink in /root/.ipfs to /data/.ipfs and it seems to be doing stuff now:

UPDATE 2:
so it goes through a lot of files then eventually decides to hang after a given amount of them. I've tried removing the one in question but it just jams up on another one. When this happens - I can't even manually do ipfs get commands (from another terminal) they just sit there and hang. I'm wondering if there is some type of limit in ipfs that is getting reached? If so, how can I do this in chunks without filling up ipfs? Guessing here though - no errors happen it just gets stuck. From the list you provided - it gets stuck after QmcNs6hRCSG7PCdxYua9a9EX7P1rQh6BPgzd7hUDdRoXWL (Which successfully downloads then nothing else happens after). Still has plenty more to go through to complete the script :(

[thelamer]

FYI you can just set your home dir to /data

export HOME=/data

[gr33k]

Ok I made a smaller version of that script and I was able to put through almost 955 entries (get and add) without issues. I'm going to tinker with it some more to see if I can get the rest to go through even if I have to run 3 separate scripts. Even after running the shorter script - It still jams up when I run the second script...so there must be some kind of limit I'm hitting. I'll update the results here when I can..

UPDATE:
restarted container and created 2nd part of that script to continue...but it still gets stuck after attempting 2 more then hangs

If there is some limit - I'm hitting it - do you have any suggestions? 😅

[thelamer]

My concern is and i have not confirmed it, is that the stuff is getting purged from your ipfs node because I set them to low power mode.
You can add the files manually though just doing ipfs add * in the directory of files, this will pin them to your node.

[gr33k]

OK - it seems some of these files are 'bad'. Not sure why they get stuck, but if I remove them from the script or ctrl+c to cancel EACH of them (found over 100 so far in this situation), it will eventually continue with the ones that it can grab. I will then do ipfs add * in the directory and...VOILA - they should be done. Hopefully that means you will have them now?

Regarding the purge - yikes! - Something has to be going on though man. I have the port forwarded and traffic should be allowed (happy to check anything if ya need on my end). I'm happy to manually do whatever it takes to get these in to the cloud so others can benefit from a 'plug and play' experience (as well as me if I ever have to rebuild again lol).

Please let me know once you've confirmed that the files are being received and will not be purged (I know you said you haven't confirmed your suspicion as of yet). It would suck if the files are getting purged 😩

Thank you for your help as well!

[thelamer]

Well I was just saying you can go into the data directories and run ipfs add on the source files. This pull and push method is not needed you can technically refresh your node by adding the stuff in the folders.
Does that make sense? Just have to do it from inside the container.

[gr33k]

Good news is I was able to pull the 'working' files from that list and added them.

Regarding the source files ... So I can go in to, for example, /data/arcade/videos or /data/arcade/logos and just run ipfs add * and that will work just the same?

Hell...that's easy - if that's really all I have to do, I'm happy to go in to each system and do it in all logo and video folders just in case 😄

[thelamer]

Yeah that's the ticket, you can do whole folders too, but don't want to pin the roms as well.

[gr33k]

Awesome! Ok, so I've gone into every single system I have setup and did ipfs add * explicitly in the /data/"system"/logo and video folder.

Seems like at least 10GB+ worth of videos and logo files. If there is a way for you to confirm they have been received "in to the system" - please let me know 🍺

[thelamer]

Yes, pulling in now, it might take me a bit to merge all the json into master, but the pinning on the seed server is the hard part.

[thelamer]

These are in the latest release thanks @gr33k !

[gr33k]

Great news! It sounds like all the metadata tickets I've opened can be closed with a reference that we manually synced everything 😄 Thank you for your help @thelamer - you rock 🍺
