IPFS

IPFS, or the InterPlanetary File System, is a peer-to-peer distributed file system designed to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. It works similiarly to Torrents.

Key Concepts

1. Decentralization:

IPFS is designed to be a fully decentralized system where each node in the network stores a collection of hashed files. This eliminates the need for a central server, providing greater resilience and reducing single points of failure.

2. Content Addressing:

IPFS uses content addressing, where each file and all of the blocks within it are given a unique fingerprint called a cryptographic hash. This hash becomes the file's address on the network.

3. Distributed Hash Table (DHT):

IPFS utilizes DHT for efficient peer discovery and file lookup. It enables nodes to find the closest peers with a specific file.

Docker Compose

version: '3'

services:
  ipfs-node:
    image: ipfs/go-ipfs
    restart: always 
    ports:
      - "4001:4001"
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" 
      - "127.0.0.1:5001:5001" 
     volumes: 
       - ./ipfs-data:/data/ipfs
     command: ["--enable-pubsub-experiment", "--gateway", "all"]
