IPFS

A possibility for hosting a distributed network.

  • IPFS might be able to provide our website system. Each project could be a node.
  • We can have clustering to cope with when some nodes are not available.
  • VPSs could be used to provide 24 hour coverage, like the pinning services.
  • We could avoid dependency on any one person/entity because the pinning sevices can be run by anyone, we can have many.

Here are some Diagnostic Tools!
Will try installing it on ES5

Installation Notes

Lots of pages with instructions that go nowhere… but

Start with this page, and once installed, switch to this one.

  • On the docs page I found "NEVER EXPOSE THE RPC API TO THE PUBLIC INTERNETThe API port (by default 5001) provides admin-level access to your Kubo IPFS node. See RPC API v0 docs for more information." which I dont understand. Forging ahead…
  • I got as far as “interact with the node using the web console” http://89.116.106.121:5001/webui but it doesn’t work. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
