go-ipfs-swarm-key-gen's Issues

ipfs swarms with the same swarm.key

I've setup 2 ipfs daemons with the same ~/.ipfs/swarm.key. I've 2 questions:

Should the command "ipfs swarm peers" show 1 result? I now get nothing as a result.
I added a file in the first node but I can't see it from the other node.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

Can't use `go get` — 'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.

$ go get -u github.com/Kubuxu/go-ipfs-swarm-key-gen/ipfs-swarm-key-gen
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
	'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
	To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
	like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'

$ go version
go version go1.18.2 linux/amd64

alternate version or binary

the requirement for go seems like an overkill for this, or this project should provide a binary or we can use a shell script
curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dcharbonnier/2643600fad1981ac3051a8ef92336d55/raw/0534ef105c5940a33a3703d6a6d8341a1329cd64/ipfs-swarm-key-gen.sh | sh

The shell script is limited to Linux with an OpenSSH installed but it's more common than a go interpreter.

Why not release a big packaged binary?

It's a strange thing to think about

ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key

Unable to find the swarm.key in my installed IPFS

Can anyone detail how to get a swarm key and prepare a private IPFS network. though i followed github and few sites it is very difficult to follow. I'm not a techie but still i'm trying to understand and implement.
I have successfully installed IPFS and used below script in CMD and got ipfs-swarm-key-gen. But unable to find where the swarm key is.

npm install ipfs-swarm-key-gen -g

I'm get struck here for a long time and need someone to assist in detail. Thanks.

can't use command

can't use this command :
ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key
i install go and have path
$ go version
go version go1.16.3 linux/amd64
Is there a solution or alternative to solve this command

ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key produce error

When i write the comand:

ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key :
console result say " ipfs-swarm-key-gen : comand not found

if i write: ./go/bin/ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key (like this tutorial https://medium.com/@s_van_laar/deploy-a-private-ipfs-network-on-ubuntu-in-5-steps-5aad95f7261b )
Console: -bash: ./go/bin/ipfs-swarm-key-gen: No such file or directory

And if i write ipfs-swarm-key-gen > IPFS_PATH=~/.ipfs/swarm.key
Console: -bash: PFS_PATH=/home//.ipfs/swarm.key : No such file or directory

How To Use It On Windows "ipfs-swarm-key-gen > ~/.ipfs/swarm.key"

Proxy / Bridge node using swarm.key

Following up on our conversation from IPFS Discourse here.

How about creating a Layer-2 alike key management for an IPFS node to bridge the contents between two heterogeneous IPFS cluster having their own respective swarm.keys?

All thoughts & approaches are welcome.

Longer swarm keys and documentation about swarm in general?

Is it possible to use swarm keys that are longer in length for better security?

Also is there any documentation, or technical papers on swarm, and the various key formats, etc...

Thanks.

Python port

Hi @Kubuxu, I needed the functionality of this package in https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb, so ported it to Python at https://github.com/machawk1/piskg but was not sure how else to contact you beyond filing a GitHub issue. I plan on testing this further a la ipfs/kubo#3397 (comment) .
