  • improving download infra
    3 projects | /r/openSUSE | 16 Sep 2022
    For me, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/9044 is the main blocker atm and https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/2167 is still around and annoying.
  • is there a way to sync Ipfs with Dropbox?
    1 project | /r/ipfs | 26 Jun 2022
    It makes me wonder if you use the IPFS FUSE mount and symlink an IPNS address of files that you want to sync if it would be read by Dropbox.
  • Cheap, reliable way to host free archive of films of solidarity and struggle
    3 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 22 Jun 2022
    I'm using the IPFS fuse mount to load mine into Plex/Jellyfin. It's nice that I can load a movie into a virtual directory on IPFS and my home and remote servers get updated automatically. (when I update my IPNS) So you could run an official solidaritycinema IPNS address that people load into their Plex as a library.
  • Remote Plex server and local Plex Server Sync
    3 projects | /r/PleX | 15 Jun 2022
    Maybe tangentially related, I've been interested in IPFS as a network medium. ( Using the IPFS fuse mount ) Rather than syncing the entire file it syncs the Library list. When the Plex server makes the request for the file, IPFS negotiates the download. It makes it more like Netflix.

  • Best way to share library with family/friends?
    1 project | /r/PleX | 6 Jun 2022
    I've been messing with Plex + IPFS and I think it's pretty cool. The IPFS FUSE Mount gives IPFS network access to Plex as just a regular filesystem. To keep it private within my family I'm using a Private Swarm.

    Going on six years now. You can use external tools (like "trickle") or your OS knobs.

  • Multiple plex servers same content
    1 project | /r/PleX | 18 May 2022
    So my plan is to setup plex on a relative's Raspberry Pi so that it works off the IPFS mounted network directories in the same way. They'll have a virtual library that takes basically no memory on their Pi unless they request a video, then it'll start caching to their machine.
