  • ipfs-desktop

    An unobtrusive and user-friendly desktop application for IPFS on Windows, Mac and Linux.

    • I'm also going to assume you've used ipfs before. If not, then take some time to discover IPFS with IPFS Desktop, IPFS Companion and go-ipfs!

  • ipfs-companion

    Browser extension that simplifies access to IPFS resources on the web

  • Go IPFS

    Discontinued IPFS implementation in Go [Moved to: https://github.com/ipfs/kubo]

    • sh apt install make pkg-config libssl-dev libcrypto++-dev mkdir -p ~/Applications git clone https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs.git ~/Applications/ipfs cd ~/Applications/ipfs go get github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go@go118 GOTAGS=openssl make install

  • multiaddr

    Composable and future-proof network addresses

    • If you want people to be able to connect to your gateway via ipfs swarm connect /dnsaddr/ipfs.example.org, then you need to add some TXT records. You can type ipfs id to get the list of addresses associated with your node.

  • ipfs-w3auth-gateway

    A web3 authentication service on IPFS gateway

    • There are several interesting possibilities out there. Crust.network has published a W3auth Gateway for IPFS, which uses reverse-proxy access to a private IPFS node. Peergos.net offers both file-access control and, most recently, block-level access control (this blog post summarizes block access tokens, or BATs). Axel.network has built a private IPFS network with masternodes and sharding data among hosts.
