Single points of failure

[buhman]

Isn't the API server a single point of failure? What does this claim mean?

Hi @buhman thank you for asking.

No, it isn't.

There's a lot more to talk about it, but when you start up the service the api server is only responsible to serve the client (admin interface) you use to publish the incidents on IPFS network.

So the admin interface served on port 7200 it's not suposed to be open to the world.
The IPFS gateway (port 8080) hava access to the IPFS network and hold you files.

Give it a try, follow the instructions and publish a single incident them click on View your status page on Dashboard screen.

I'm working on a more detailed spec of how to use this software.

Please follow for updates.

I think admin interface availability and being able to guarantee the currently displayed public page is up-to-date is probably more important than the availability of a historical version of the status page.
