I have a server and wish to setup it as an IPFS node. In fact, I wish to contribute to the IPFS ecosystem and have permanently pinning a file. Would you please help me in details? How to setup my server as an IPFS node?
Thanks in advance,
Install IPFS
wget https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.4.14/go-ipfs_v0.4.14_linux-amd64.tar.gz -O go-ipfs.tar.gz
tar xvfz go-ipfs.tar.gz
sudo cp go-ipfs/ipfs /usr/local/bin/
Run the daemon
ipfs init
ipfs daemon &
You'll now be part of the IPFS P2P network
