how to just serve the IPFS repository?

I'm not really sure what you are asking, however the actual p2p capabilities are mostly missing or their integration partially implemented in this implementation even if rust-libp2p would have near complete-ish implementations available.

there is no "main loop" thingy

This is true. The idea is that ipfs would be a library, as such, the user's application would ensure that there is a runtime which lives long enough. You can find an "application example" in under the http/, maybe that clears some parts of this up.

[matthiasbeyer]

Yeah, I found the http example and am currently playing with its ideas... although when my app shuts down I get

Error: Invalid argument (os error 22)

And I don't know where this is coming from...

[koivunej]

Error: Invalid argument ...

This does not appear to come from within this repository, and it doesn't sound familiar at least. What operating system are you using?

[matthiasbeyer]

I'm running on Linux. I also do not get a backtrace with RUST_BACKTRACE with this... so I am really confused where this is coming from actually.

[koivunej]

Maybe you could find it by removing all other output and breaking on stdout (or stderr) writes.

[matthiasbeyer]

Good suggestion, thanks! But it did not work at all.

Error: Invalid argument (os error 22)

Meh, that was actually my fault and bad error messages. Thanks for your support, though ❤️ ! It seems that I am getting somewhere with this crate! I'll close this now as I think it is resolved for me, or will be soonish!
