Go IPFS is a command-line tool that allows users to store, retrieve and share files across a decentralized network. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Go IPFS on Fedora Server latest version.
Git is a version control system that is required to download Go IPFS from GitHub. To install Git, open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo dnf install git
Go is a programming language that is used to build Go IPFS. To install Go, open a terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo dnf install golang
This will install the Go programming language.
Next, we will clone the Go IPFS repository from GitHub. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs.git
This will clone the Go IPFS repository into a new directory called "go-ipfs" in your working directory.
To compile and install Go IPFS, navigate to the go-ipfs directory that was created in the previous step. Enter the following commands:
cd go-ipfs
make install
This will compile and install Go IPFS onto your system.
Finally, start the Go IPFS daemon by entering the following command:
ipfs init
ipfs daemon
This will initiate the Go IPFS daemon and start the service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Go IPFS on your Fedora Server. You can now use the IPFS command to store, retrieve, and share files across a decentralized network.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
