Docs (https://developers.ceramic.network/run/nodes/nodes/#staying-connected-to-ipfs) says the swarm port is 4011 but it might be 4001 instead -- swarm port is the one that needs to be externally reachable" --- docs/run/nodes/nodes.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/run/nodes/nodes.md b/docs/run/nodes/nodes.md index 0c675504a..d5bff3131 100644 --- a/docs/run/nodes/nodes.md +++ b/docs/run/nodes/nodes.md @@ -264,7 +264,7 @@ The Ceramic daemon serves an HTTP API that clients use to interact with your Cer ### **Staying connected to IPFS** -Ceramic nodes rely on IPFS for networking.

IPFS nodes connect to each other using a Libp2p module called "switch" (aka "swarm"). This module operates over a websocket, on port `4001` by default, as well as port `4011`. The websocket port must be accessible to the internet so your Ceramic node can be connected to the network, i.e. not blocked by a firewall. In addition, the port must match the swarm address announced by IPFS. !!! warning ""
