IPFS on Cloud Foundry

A very basic example of ipfs daemon running on Cloud Foundry

Overview

The up.sh script will stand up 1 app called ipfs running ipfs daemon --init. All the data is written to /home/vcap/app/.ipfs/.

You can access the node with cf ssh and use the ipfs binary at app/ipfs but may need to export HOME=/home/vcap/app.

Testing

The test.sh script will:

1. cf ssh into the node
2. On the node, run ipfs add adding a message like I <3 IPFS -vcap on Sun Jul 23 03:12:01 UTC 2017
3. On the node, run curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/$hash"
4. Disconnect from the node
5. On your local machine, run curl "https://ipfs.io/ipfs/$hash"
6. The output from the above commands should be identical
