Its comparable to a bittorrent swarm and evokes the +spirit of the original version of the web. + +## What can I do with it? + +Ipfs is designed to make anything you post on it, near impossible to get rid of as +as the network is up. This means you can make files that are impossible censor and +cant 404 just because the server hosting it craps out. Its even possible to make +an indestructible, completely decentralized static website! + +## Basics of IPFS + +You can install it with your native package manager or snap if your distro supports it + +`sudo apt install snapd` +`snap install ipfs` +`ln -s /snap/ipfs/current/bin/ipfs /usr/local/bin` + +Setup is just as easy! + +`ipfs init` +`ipfs less /ipfs/QmS4ustL54uo8FzR9455qaxZwuMiUhyvMcX9Ba8nUH4uVv/readme` +`ipfs daemon` +`ipfs swarm peers` + +## Cool stuff to do after set up + +### Adding a file to ipfs + +If having you're own immortal file sounds awesome, you'll be happy to know doing the +same is easy! + +Simply type: +`ipfs add the_meaning_of_life.txt` + +and you're done! + +The command will return a hash that looks something like this: `QmZtmD2qt6fJot32nabSP3CUjicnypEBz7bHVDhPQt9aAy` + +You'll need that has to get your file from ipfs, just like a website url gets you the site. The hash changes when the file changes, so as long as the file is the same the has will also be. + +More can be found [here](https://flyingzumwalt.gitbooks.io/decentralized-web-primer/content/files-on-ipfs/lessons/add-and-retrieve-file-content.html) + +### Making an Indestructible Website + +If you've every wanted a website but + +a) Couldn't afford hosting +b) Needed to post things you're government wouldn't approve +or +c) thought it was too complicated + +Ipfs has you covered! + +Start by making a directory containing your html files, lets say `zerzangang` is your +folder name.

And you're done! All you have to do is type `http://localhost:8080/ipfs/$SITE_CID` where `$SITE_CID` is your hash of your site's directory. + +And you're done! + +#### IPNS: The Problem Solver + +You might remember me saying that the entire hash changes when you change the file. +So one downside is that if you edit your website and republish it on ipfs, your site's +hash, which is part of its url, will change completely. This is obviously a pain in +the ass. But dont worry IPNS has you covered! IPNS allows you to register one hash +that stays the same despite the file changes. Lets set it up with your site now! + +Start by running: + +`ipfs name publish $SITE_CID` + +The command will return + +`Published to $PEER_ID: /ipfs/$SITE_CID` + +`PEER_ID` will be the new site hash and you can verify everything went write by typing +`ipfs name resolove PEER_ID`. You can now visit your site on `https://ipfs.io/ipns/PEER_ID`. The next time you you want to update the site, simply run: + +`ipfs add -r zerzangang/` +`ipfs name publish NEW_SITE_HASH` + +Now when someone wants to visit your site the address stays the same! + +## Up and Coming projects using IPFS + +[Neocities](https://neocities.org), the spirtual successor to geocities, uses ipfs to +back up every change made on the sites it hosts. Making sure that a wealth of web +culture won't go AWOL again. + +[Radicle](http://radicle.xyz/) is a really interesting project that uses ipfs to make +a p2p way to collab on code. -- 2.46.1
