Caution

Do not merge, this is PoC/exploration.

this is poc of optional configuration that would allow for IPNS-only and Peer-only endpoints.

unsure how useful this would be in real world, my assumption is that single config is better and also encourages people to decentralize/federate routing systems with tools like https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/someguy
which exposes providers+peers+ipns

👉 parking this as a draft for now – let's see how single config from Kubo 0.35 works, and if anyone raises a need for this at all

my personal preference would be to keep things simple for now and not split – feedback welcome

Open questions

  • how to handle implicit default of cid.contact, which is providers-only, and we explicitly disabled querying its endpoint for peers and ipns? how to ensure users are able to override default, or set own routers?
  • should we do this in Kubo when it is not supported by Rainbow first? (likely no)
