Go IPFS is a decentralized file system that allows you to share files with other users on the network without relying on a centralized server. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Go IPFS on OpenBSD.
Before you start installing Go IPFS on OpenBSD, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing any software, run the following command to update the system and install the necessary packages:
$ sudo pkg_add -u
This command will update the installed packages on your OpenBSD system.
You can download Go IPFS from the official GitHub repository using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs.git
This command will clone the Go IPFS repository into your current directory.
After downloading the Go IPFS source code, change to the cloned directory using the following command:
$ cd go-ipfs/
Next, build and install Go IPFS using the following commands:
$ make install
This command will compile and install the Go IPFS binary on your OpenBSD system.
After installing Go IPFS, you need to initialize the IPFS repository using the following command:
$ ipfs init
This command will create an IPFS repository in your home directory.
Finally, start the IPFS daemon using the following command:
$ ipfs daemon
This command will start the IPFS daemon on your OpenBSD system. You can now use Go IPFS to share and access files on the network.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Go IPFS on OpenBSD. With Go IPFS, you can easily share and access files on the network without relying on a centralized server.
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!
