ipfs-hypercube

WorkInProgress

Aim of Project

Easy to deploy IPFS (local/LAN) nodes on ARM single-board computers.

• yay, been refered from Apollo-NG project Argus

Boards that I plan document and deploy

• Hardkernel ODROID-X2 (tested/running)
• TP-LINK TL-MR-3020 (have it, onboard wifi)
• Hardkernel ODROID-C2 (Shipping date is March 4, 2016)

ODROID-X2

• buy board from hardkernel
• storage SanDisk MicroSDHC 32GB Extreme UHS-I (U3)

Easy go (quick & dirty, ~2h of hacking)

Prepare board

Download ubuntu 14.04lts-server from odroid.in Then extract .xz

xz -d ubuntu-14.04lts-server-odroid-x2-20140604.img.xz

Push image to SD card

sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04lts-server-odroid-x2-20140604.img of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

Insert SD card, boot your X2, login credentials are root:odroid

Download odroid-utility and resize rootfs && update your kernel to latest

sudo -s

wget -O /usr/local/bin/odroid-utility.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdrjr/odroid-utility/master/odroid-utility.sh

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/odroid-utility.sh

odroid-utility.sh

reboot

IPFS part

• go for ipfs, yay! (I had go through secret level http://dist.ipfs.io/ and open very secret doors => http://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.4.0-dev/go-ipfs_v0.4.0-dev_linux-arm.tar.gz)
• mv ipfs /usr/local/bin
• mkdir -p /mnt/ipfs/datastore

Turn off firewall (even iptables are missing in image)

• apt-get install ufw
• ufw disable

Initialize IPFS, it will generates your privkey and other stuff

• ipfs init

You can run ipfs daemon from terminal (or put it in screen/tmux/byobu) or use my upstart script

• ipfs daemon

Upstart script for ubuntu 14.04 /etc/init/ipfs.conf

#!upstart
description "ipfs"

#env USER=nobody
env USER=root # need change this

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

respawn
respawn limit 2 5

exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid $USER --exec /usr/local/bin/ipfs -- daemon >> /var/log/ipfs.log 2>&1

Now should IPFS daemon start on every boot, cheers

and some pointless information, yaay :D

Credits goes to guys on #ipfs @ freenode, need fix traversal/discovery of external IP

Some quick fixies

rm -rf $GOPATH/src/gx and try it again go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx and go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go try it again
