IPFS transport for apt # Requirements sudo apt install python3-pip git sudo pip3 install ipfsapi sudo snap install ipfs ipfs init ipfs daemon & # Install Copy the ipfs file from this repo to the directory for apt transport methods: git clone https://github.com/JaquerEspeis/apt-transport-ipfs cd apt-transport-ipfs sudo mv ipfs /usr/lib/apt/methods/ipfs # Configure Add an IPFS mirror to your apt sources.list file. TODO set up a mirror. # Hacky test While we set up a proper IPFS mirror, this can be tested by using a hardcoded IPFS hash that was manually set up to serve the hello deb.

To set it up again, use the script in `scripts/add_test_mirror.sh`.
