## What is IPFS?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.

## Security Issues
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The IPFS protocol and its implementations are still in heavy development. This means that there may be problems in our protocols, or there may be mistakes in our implementations. And -- though IPFS is not production-ready yet -- many people are already running nodes in their machines. So we take security vulnerabilities very seriously. If you discover a security issue, please bring it to our attention right away!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you find a vulnerability that may affect live deployments -- for example, by exposing a remote execution exploit -- please send your report privately to security@ipfs.io. Please DO NOT file a public issue. The GPG key for security@ipfs.io is [4B9665FB 92636D17 7C7A86D3 50AAE8A9 59B13AF3](https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x50AAE8A959B13AF3).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the issue is a protocol weakness that cannot be immediately exploited or something not yet deployed, just discuss it openly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Install
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The canonical download instructions for IPFS are over at: https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/install/. It is **highly suggested** you follow those instructions if you are not interested in working on IPFS development.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### System Requirements
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IPFS can run on most Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. We recommend running it on a machine with at least 2 GB of RAM (it’ll do fine with only one CPU core), but it should run fine with as little as 1 GB of RAM. On systems with less memory, it may not be completely stable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Install prebuilt packages
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We host prebuilt binaries over at our [distributions page](https://ipfs.io/ipns/dist.ipfs.io#go-ipfs).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From there:
|
|||
|
|
- Click the blue "Download go-ipfs" on the right side of the page.
|
|||
|
|
- Open/extract the archive.
|
|||
|
|
- Move `ipfs` to your path (`install.sh` can do it for you).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also download go-ipfs from this project's GitHub releases page if you are unable to access ipfs.io.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### From Linux package managers
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [Arch Linux](#arch-linux)
|
|||
|
|
- [Nix](#nix)
|
|||
|
|
- [Snap](#snap)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Arch Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In Arch Linux go-ipfs is available as
|
|||
|
|
[go-ipfs](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/go-ipfs/) package.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S go-ipfs
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Development version of go-ipfs is also on AUR under
|
|||
|
|
[go-ipfs-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-ipfs-git/).
|
|||
|
|
You can install it using your favourite AUR Helper or manually from AUR.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Nix
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Linux and MacOSX you can use the purely functional package manager [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ nix-env -i ipfs
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also install the Package by using it's attribute name, which is also `ipfs`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Guix
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GNU's functional package manager, [Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/), also provides a go-ipfs package:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ guix package -i go-ipfs
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Snap
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With snap, in any of the [supported Linux distributions](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo snap install ipfs
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Build from Source
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Install Go
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The build process for ipfs requires Go 1.11 or higher. If you don't have it: [Download Go 1.11+](https://golang.org/dl/).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You'll need to add Go's bin directories to your `$PATH` environment variable e.g., by adding these lines to your `/etc/profile` (for a system-wide installation) or `$HOME/.profile`:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
|
|||
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(If you run into trouble, see the [Go install instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install)).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Download and Compile IPFS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ go get -u -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
|
|||
|
|
$ make install
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are building on FreeBSD instead of `make install` use `gmake install`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Building on less common systems
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If your operating system isn't officially supported, but you still want to try
|
|||
|
|
building ipfs anyways (it should work fine in most cases), you can do the
|
|||
|
|
following instead of `make install`:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ make install_unsupported
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note: This process may break if [gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx)
|
|||
|
|
(used for dependency management) or any of its dependencies break as `go get`
|
|||
|
|
will always select the latest code for every dependency, often resulting in
|
|||
|
|
mismatched APIs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Separate [instructions are available for building on Windows](docs/windows.md).
|
|||
|
|
- Also, [instructions for OpenBSD](docs/openbsd.md).
|
|||
|
|
- `git` is required in order for `go get` to fetch all dependencies.
|
|||
|
|
- Package managers often contain out-of-date `golang` packages.
|
|||
|
|
Ensure that `go version` reports at least 1.10. See above for how to install go.
|
|||
|
|
- If you are interested in development, please install the development
|
|||
|
|
dependencies as well.
|
|||
|
|
- _WARNING_: Older versions of OSX FUSE (for Mac OS X) can cause kernel panics when mounting!-
|
|||
|
|
We strongly recommend you use the [latest version of OSX FUSE](http://osxfuse.github.io/).
|
|||
|
|
(See https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/177)
|
|||
|
|
- For more details on setting up FUSE (so that you can mount the filesystem), see the docs folder.
|
|||
|
|
- Shell command completion is available in `misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash`. Read [docs/command-completion.md](docs/command-completion.md) to learn how to install it.
|
|||
|
|
- See the [init examples](https://github.com/ipfs/website/tree/master/static/docs/examples/init) for how to connect IPFS to systemd or whatever init system your distro uses.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Updating go-ipfs
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Using ipfs-update
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IPFS has an updating tool that can be accessed through `ipfs update`. The tool is
|
|||
|
|
not installed alongside IPFS in order to keep that logic independent of the main
|
|||
|
|
codebase. To install `ipfs update`, [download it here](https://ipfs.io/ipns/dist.ipfs.io/#ipfs-update).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Downloading IPFS builds using IPFS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
List the available versions of go-ipfs:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs cat /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/versions
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then, to view available builds for a version from the previous command ($VERSION):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs ls /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To download a given build of a version:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_darwin-386.tar.gz # darwin 32-bit build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_darwin-amd64.tar.gz # darwin 64-bit build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_freebsd-amd64.tar.gz # freebsd 64-bit build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-386.tar.gz # linux 32-bit build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-amd64.tar.gz # linux 64-bit build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-arm.tar.gz # linux arm build
|
|||
|
|
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_windows-amd64.zip # windows 64-bit build
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

ipfs uses a repository in the local file system. By default, the repo is located
|
|||
|
|
at ~/.ipfs. To change the repo location, set the $IPFS_PATH environment variable:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
export IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfsrepo
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
See also: http://ipfs.io/docs/getting-started/
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To start using IPFS, you must first initialize IPFS's config files on your
|
|||
|
|
system, this is done with `ipfs init`. See `ipfs init --help` for information on
|
|||
|
|
the optional arguments it takes. After initialization is complete, you can use
|
|||
|
|
`ipfs mount`, `ipfs add` and any of the other commands to explore!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Some things to try
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Basic proof of 'ipfs working' locally:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
echo "hello world" > hello
|
|||
|
|
ipfs add hello
|
|||
|
|
# This should output a hash string that looks something like:
|
|||
|
|
# QmT78zSuBmuS4z925WZfrqQ1qHaJ56DQaTfyMUF7F8ff5o
|
|||
|
|
ipfs cat <that hash>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Docker usage
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An IPFS docker image is hosted at [hub.docker.com/r/ipfs/go-ipfs](https://hub.docker.com/r/ipfs/go-ipfs/).
|
|||
|
|
To make files visible inside the container you need to mount a host directory
|
|||
|
|
with the `-v` option to docker. Choose a directory that you want to use to
|
|||
|
|
import/export files from IPFS. You should also choose a directory to store
|
|||
|
|
IPFS files that will persist when you restart the container.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
export ipfs_staging=</absolute/path/to/somewhere/>
|
|||
|
|
export ipfs_data=</absolute/path/to/somewhere_else/>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Start a container running ipfs and expose ports 4001, 5001 and 8080:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
docker run -d --name ipfs_host -v $ipfs_staging:/export -v $ipfs_data:/data/ipfs -p 4001:4001 -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -p 127.0.0.1:5001:5001 ipfs/go-ipfs:latest
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Watch the ipfs log:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
docker logs -f ipfs_host
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wait for ipfs to start. ipfs is running when you see:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Gateway (readonly) server
|
|||
|
|
listening on /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8080
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can now stop watching the log.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Run ipfs commands:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
docker exec ipfs_host ipfs <args...>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example: connect to peers
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
docker exec ipfs_host ipfs swarm peers
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Add files:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
cp -r <something> $ipfs_staging
|
|||
|
|
docker exec ipfs_host ipfs add -r /export/<something>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stop the running container:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
docker stop ipfs_host
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When starting a container running ipfs for the first time with an empty data directory, it will call `ipfs init` to initialize configuration files and generate a new keypair. At this time, you can choose which profile to apply using the `IPFS_PROFILE` environment variable:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

### Troubleshooting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you have previously installed IPFS before and you are running into problems getting a newer version to work, try deleting (or backing up somewhere else) your IPFS config directory (~/.ipfs by default) and rerunning `ipfs init`. This will reinitialize the config file to its defaults and clear out the local datastore of any bad entries.

Description: Dotted means "likely going away". The "Legacy" parts are thin wrappers around some commands to translate between the new system and the old system. The grayed-out parts on the "daemon" diagram are there to show that the code is all the same, it's just that we turn some pieces on and some pieces off depending on whether we're running on the client or the server.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Testing
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
make test
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Development Dependencies
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you make changes to the protocol buffers, you will need to install the [protoc compiler](https://github.com/google/protobuf).
