[DOCS] Add note about IPNS and DNSLink #6696
Conversation
Using a DNS alias to point to a gateway is not well documented outside the dnslink.io site, this adds a reference to those docs to the main go-ipfs documentation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This doesn't seem like the right place for this documentation. This document is about gateway features and these are just general IPFS features.
Maybe we should add sentence to the top saying that the gateway provides access to files/directories served on IPFS and then briefly describe /ipns/... and /ipfs/...?

that's fair, the main thing that I want to point out is the fact that the gateway can accept the ipns/dnslink name via Host header instead of url parameter (or subdomain), which doesn't seem well documented other than on the dnslink site happy to reword this with more focus on that or move elsewhere |
Ah, that makes a lot of sense. |
