IPFS Proxy

Configuring Your Node

The go-ipfs config file is a JSON document located at $IPFS_PATH/config which is by default ~/.ipfs/config . It is read once at node instantiation, either for an offline command, or when starting the daemon. Commands that execute on a running daemon do not read the config file at

Host a website using IPFS, IPNS, and DNSLink

Linked Data

In the previous lessons, we have learned how we identify(address) data in Distributed Systems such as IPFS, using the content addressing approach. In this section, we will learn how we link data in Distributed Systems. But let's first see why do we need to do link data,

Pinning

In the content addressing section, we learned that different IPFS peers store the data(for example, wiki web pages) that they can share with other IPFS peers too. But as you can imagine there is a limit on how much your device can store. Let's say an IPFS
