![]() ![]() I prefer compiling the ipfs/go-ipfs repository from scratch to debug the code when needed, and let's be honest: GoLang rocks. I will be documenting the Ubuntu installation process below. Open the official IPFS docs installation page and follow the instructions depending on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). If you tried storing two identical 1MB files in the same IPFS node, they would be stored only once, eliminating the duplication, because their hash would produce an identical CID. Second, the integrity of IPFS content can be cryptographically verified.Īnd finally, the IPFS content is de-duplicated. In that case, you can still access a decentralized version of Wikipedia indexed on April 17th by loading it from the IPFS peer-to-peer network persisted under CID: "QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX" Your personal IPFS node goes offline? Don't worry, the website will still load from other nodes across the globe serving it.įor example, suppose your government bans Wikipedia. Store your website in IPFS to avoid censorship and a single point of failure. Every piece of data is cryptographically hashed, resulting in a safe, unique content identifier: CID. What is unique about IPFS?įirst of all, the IPFS is decentralized because it loads the content from thousands of peers instead of one centralized server. The nodes can communicate between each other and exchange files. As in the blockchain world, every user is running its node (server). IPFS is a protocol for storing and sharing content. The InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS for short, is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open.
