hubot-ipfs

A hubot script that lets you interact with a local IPFS daemon, including pinning files.

This is a script/plugin-ified version of the ipfs.coffee script by @jbenet: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-hubot

Commands

• hubot pin QmDEADBEEF... -- pin files
• hubot ipfs api-info -- show configured local and global gateways
• hubot ipfs swarm peers
• and almost all other go-ipfs daemon commands
• See src/ipfs.coffee for full documentation.

Ouput Looks like this:

hubot> hubot ipfs pin QmXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
hubot> TODO FIXME show don't tell. Add a screenshot

Installation

This assumes you already have setup a Hubot.

In your hubot project repository, run:

npm install hubot-ipfs --save

Then add hubot-ipfs to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-ipfs"
]

Configuration

Some things in life you can't change, but these things you can.

• IPFS_LOCAL_API (default=localhost:5001)
• IPFS_LOCAL_GATEWAY (default=http://localhost:8088)
• IPFS_GLOBAL_GATEWAY (default=https://ipfs.io/ipfs)

Development

Clone this repository, then:

npm install

To run tests:

npm test

To actually work on the script, it's easiest to setup a Hubot and include your local hubot-ipfs plugin as a dependency. e.g. in the hubot's package.json, something like:

 	"dependencies": {
    "hubot": "^2.19.0",
    "hubot-ipfs": "file:~/dev/hubot-ipfs"
  },

Protip: try out the hubot-reload plugin so you don't have to restart your REPL on changes

Publishing a new version

npm run semantic-release
