[](#known-ipfs-support-experimental-)

This plugin adds IPFS file support to Known.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Step Zero: Install an IPFS server. This is a little bit out of scope, but I used [go-ipfs](https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/install/) during development.

Once you've done that:

- Download the latest version of Known. I recommend that you either use the [GitHub](https://github.com/idno/known) version or the [Unofficial packages](https://www.marcus-povey.co.uk/known) available from my website.
- Create an **IPFS** directory in your `IdnoPlugins` directory, and copy these files into it.
- Activate it from the Admin panel.

or

- `composer require mapkyca/known-ipfs`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The IPFS plugin will default to using `localhost:8080`. If you want to change this, you will need to modify your `config.ini` as follows:

```
[IPFS]
host = 'servername'
port = 1234
apiport = 5678

```

Replace the values accordingly, but make sure you keep the `[IPFS]` section header.

Known Issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

This software is very much experimental at the moment, but feel free to issues in github.

That said, I know about:

### Don't run composer

[](#dont-run-composer)

The plugin makes use of the [php-ipfs-api](https://github.com/cloutier/php-ipfs-api) library.

Unfortunately, the version that is currently available via composer has a small bug that corrupts uploaded data, and so I had to fix the error in place.

I have [filed an issue](https://github.com/cloutier/php-ipfs-api/issues/12) with the author, but the composer package is updated to what's currently on github, running a `composer install` will likely break the plugin.

Still to do
-----------

[](#still-to-do)

This plugin functionally does not change how files are actually stored - a local object is still created , although the data itself is stored elsewhere.

Could this be done more efficiently? For example, could a direct link be provided? Likely this would require some core hooks - for example a getFileURL() on file objects.
