Orbit-db: Error: Could not append entry, key "xxx" is not allowed to write to the log

Created on 18 Jul 2020 · 2Comments · Source: orbitdb/orbit-db

I followed the basic example to get a test app running. But running into the following error

Error: Could not append entry, key "028a86f815eb53ae14cc65937f36b03be664a5cb7cf02702e03a21075418e7fa71" is not allowed to write to the log

Versions

Node.js - v10.13.0
ipfs- ^0.47.0
orbit-db- ^0.24.2

Code

const IPFS = require('ipfs')
const OrbitDB = require('orbit-db')

async function main() {
    try {
        const ipfsOptions = {
            EXPERIMENTAL: {
                pubsub: true
            }
        }
        const ipfs = await IPFS.create(ipfsOptions)
        const orbitdb = await OrbitDB.createInstance(ipfs, {
            directory: "./db01"
        })
        console.log(`orbitdb.identity.id :: ${orbitdb.identity.id}`)
        const db = await orbitdb.kvstore("firstDB", {
            overwrite: true,
            create: true
        })
        await db.load()
        await db.put("name", "asd")
        data = await db.get("name")
        console.log(data)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err)
        process.exit()
    }
}

main()

It's the same error for all kinds of database types.
