ipfs implementation in go. GoDoc Build Status

See: https://github.com/jbenet/ipfs

Please put all issues regarding IPFS design in the ipfs repo issues. Please put all issues regarding go IPFS implementation in this repo.

Install

Install Go 1.2+. Then:

go get github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs
go install

NOTES:

  • git and mercurial (hg) are required in order for go get to fetch all dependencies.
  • Package managers often contain out-of-date golang packages. Compilation from source is recommended.
  • 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. (See https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/issues/177)

Usage

ipfs - global versioned p2p merkledag file system

Basic commands:

    add <path>    Add an object to ipfs.
    cat <ref>     Show ipfs object data.
    ls <ref>      List links from an object.
    refs <ref>    List link hashes from an object.

Tool commands:

    config        Manage configuration.
    version       Show ipfs version information.
    commands      List all available commands.

Advanced Commands:

    mount         Mount an ipfs read-only mountpoint.
    serve         Serve an interface to ipfs.

Use "ipfs help <command>" for more information about a command.

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 help init for information on arguments it takes. After initialization is complete, you can use ipfs mount, ipfs add and any of the other commands to explore!

NOTE: if you have previously installed ipfs before and you are running into problems getting it to work, try deleting (or backing up somewhere else) your config directory (~/.go-ipfs by default) and rerunning ipfs init.

Contributing

go-ipfs is MIT licensed open source software. We welcome contributions big and small! Please make sure to check the issues. Search the closed ones before reporting things, and help us with the open ones.

Guidelines:

  • see the dev pseudo-roadmap
  • please adhere to the protocol described in the main ipfs repo and paper.
  • please make branches + pull-request, even if working on the main repository
  • ask questions or talk about things in Issues or #ipfs on freenode.
  • ensure you are able to contribute (no legal issues please-- we'll probably setup a CLA)
  • run go fmt before pushing any code
  • run golint and go vet too -- some things (like protobuf files) are expected to fail.
  • if you'd like to work on ipfs part-time (20+ hrs/wk) or full-time (40+ hrs/wk), contact @jbenet
  • have fun!

Todo

IPFS is nearing an alpha release. Things left to be done are all marked as Issues

Development Dependencies

If you make changes to the protocol buffers, you will need to install the protoc compiler.
