Hi all. Please find the attached port of go-ipfs [0]. Also attached is a patch to infrastructure/db/user.list to reserve a uid/gid for _ipfs.
I'm running an ipfs node at home and pinned a "Hello, OpenBSD!"
file [1] for you :)
DESCR:
IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas
from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single
bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an interface as
simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. You can also mount the
world at /ipfs.
Two questions:
1)
The tar.gz provided by upstream contains files at the root without an go-ipfs
folder. I did the following to unpack everything in WRKDIST instead of in
WRKDIR directly. Is there a better approch to do this?
EXTRACT_ONLY =
post-extract:
mkdir -p ${WRKDIST}
tar xzf "${FULLDISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}" -C ${WRKDIST}
2)
By default, ipfs creates all files in ~/.ipfs. This can be changed by
specifing IPFS_PATH. Personally I don't like a hidden folder at /var/ipfs/.ipfs
which is why I set IPFS_PATH=/var/ipfs in the rc file.
This requires users of ipfs to always remember to set IPFS_PATH=/var/ipfs
What would you prefer?
2.1) Setting HOME of the _ipfs user to /var/ipfs and have the data
under /var/ipfs/.ipfs.
2.2) Setting IPFS_PATH=/var/ipfs in the rc file and whenever a user wants to
interact with ipfs.
Cheers,
Fabian
