Sitting at the decentralized web summit today, there’s lots of talk about IPFS. So I played with it while they were talking. It was much simpler to set up than I thought. Here are my steps:
- I run Arch Linux (in VirtualBox, on my Mac)
pacman -S ipfs-go
ipfs daemon &
- Created a file called
index.html
ipfs add index.html
- This prints out a hash, which is the address of the content I just published. Here it is: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPPmVDvqYdm2mSufz2UmGFog8WzMGNHxX6k1mB676bSrk.
Hmm, should we put this daemon into UBOS?
