It's great to see someone self-hosting, and I noticed your note about seeing a blue header if running ipfs. I'm running ipfs with the companion extension. However, I can't resolve your dnslink. ipfs resolve -r /ipns/notryan.com > Error: context deadline exceeded I tried the ipns multihash too: ipfs resolve -r /ipns/QmZaQZyPXjyXWB2FZUUXV9Ft5qciCDMX6CPP2FmiuPSyAq > Error: context deadline exceeded You may not be forwarding your swarm address port, 4001 by default, to your laptop. I'm pretty new to ipfs so take this with a grain of salt. edit: It's worth noting that I can access other ipfs content using my gateway :) edit2: I also noticed you're hardcoding the local gateway port to 8080 for your header background image. This port is configurable, mine is set to 5080.

Ah, yeah I don't have IPNS running right now. Also my website is not up to date on IPFS right now... maybe I'll resync it today. Anyways, this is a shortcut to it https://notryan.com/ipfs https://notryan.com/ipfs. IPNS was annoyingly slow (30+ second resolves) due to how it functioned in the past. So I stopped using it. I think they changed this in 0.5.0 so it might be better now. The blue banner was just a hack where the referenced jpeg loads if available. It's a call to url("http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmX63Pan72CB2vMhNiFMKxKgEhmffbkgEnaEuagyEtmK8L"); http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmX63Pan72CB2vMhNiFMKxKgEhmffbkgE... which is a Monet painting I like. Basically, if you've got IPFS you'll see a bar. If not, you'll see nothing. Did that at least work? If you had `ipfs daemon` running in the background on port 8080, you should've seen something.

  Whoops, I ninja'd an edit right as you commented. I'm running my gateway on 5080 so it didn't load, but I can access the image after updating the url.

    Hmm yeah I see. I wonder if there would be a way to programmatically detect it. Even still, I'm not running any JS on my website because I like to keep it snappy. Also how many people do you think are not running on port 8080? It's annoying for sure as a dev, when every program decides it wants its local web server to be 8080.
