How do you set up a cluster? about field-manual HOT 6 OPEN

How does orbit-db determine which db wins during the sync?

from field-manual.

This is not yet figured out for orbit-db. orbit-db is a CRDT-modelled thing-- and it's in the leveldb or sqllite "db" category. (it may make sense to make clusters of it, but not yet there)

from field-manual.

Possible we may be able to use something like https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster -- (which maybe is just a libp2p-cluster) to do this

So is the idea that under the current system, every node stores a complete copy of the entire database, but it's still possible for two nodes to sync their copies?

Edit: Ah, and I think the part that I was missing was that two nodes that are both on the global IPFS network and have databases with identical names will automatically sync with each other, yes?

from field-manual.

@raptortech-js that's the idea, yeah! Currently all databases are in the public network and open to anyone. Obviously this is not what we want and we're working on IPFS primitives that orbit-db can use to provide mechanisms and protocol-level guarantees for private/access controlled databases. Today, if you need such functionality, you have to do it on application level.
