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.
Backup your /etc/apt/sources.list, remove all the lines that it has and leave it
just with:
deb ipfs:/ipns/QmdyaTjqXayZVQULcEyHQFx6n76TrMBc5aEDCgvp5cUTEi xenial main
To test it, run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install hello
This IPFS node is not permanent and will disappear. To set it up again, use the
script in `scripts/add_test_mirror.sh`.
