In 04_P2P_Part_1, NPP.connectToPeer got Error: Circuit relay dial failed as addresses did not have peer id

[zhiquan911]

When I was studying the chapter of 04_P2P_Part_1, I opened two browsers, and the node of one browser called NPP.connectToPeer("QmUExv5GFBqqMWq9PQcur4UmnEGiY99gmqZQoMgCd2C8rd") to connect to the node of the other browser. I got Error: Circuit dial relay failed as addresses did not have peer id.

I had the same problem. I ended up having to implement a Webrtc-star server (https://suda.pl/free-webrtc-star-heroku/) to fix connection issues.
Let me know if I can help further!

Hi @julienmalard, thanks so much for pointing to this. Do you have any example code you could share for how you implemented this in regards to the orbit-db tutorial?

[julienmalard]

No problem! Here's my code: https://github.com/reseau-constellation/ipa/blob/main/src/ipfs.ts
I added a line for my specific Webrtc-star server.

You would then simply pass this ipfs instance into the orbit-db instance when you create it, and all should then work.
