Deploy IPFS on NODE Lacchain

• Quickly deploy an ipfs node using docker here.

• If you want to deploy an ipfs node on kubernetes following the instructions here.

• Bellow you will find instructions about deployment of ipfs peers lacchain using Ansible. This implies that it will be executed from a local machine to a remote server. The local machine and the remote server will communicate via ssh.

• The installation with ansible provided is compatible with Ubuntu

Minimum System Requirements

Recommended hardware features for ipfs peers :

• CPU: 2 cores

• RAM Memory: 2 GB

• Hard Disk: 10 GB SSD

• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, always 64 bits

It is necessary to enable the following network ports in the machine in which we are going to deploy ipfs peers:

• IPFS Peers:

  • 4001: TCP - Port to establish Communication p2p with other peers.

  • 5001: TCP - API Server.

  • 8080: TCP - Gateway server.

Pre-requisites

Install Ansible

For this installation we will use Ansible. It is necessary to install Ansible on a local machine that will perform the installation of the peers on a remote machine.

Following the instructions to install ansible in your local machine.

Clone Repository

To configure and install IPFS , you must clone this git repository in your local machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/LACNetNetworks/ipfs
$ cd ipfs/

Obtain SSH access to your remote machine

Make sure you have SSH access to nodes you're setting up. This step will vary depending on your context (physical machine, cloud provider, etc.). This document assumes that you are able to log into your remote machine using the following command: ssh remote_user@remote_host.

IPFS Installation

Preparing installation of a new ipfs peers

• After cloning the repository on the local machine, edit inventory file to add a line for the remote server where you are deploying the new ipfs peers. You can do it with a graphical tool or inside the shell:

  $ cd ipfs/
  $ vi inventory
  [ipfs]#  depending on type node
  192.168.10.72 ---> Change for your IP Node

Deploying the new node

• To deploy a IPFS peers execute the following command in your local machine. If needed, don't forget to set the private key with option --private-key and the remote user with option -u:

   $ ansible-playbook -i inventory --private-key=~/.ssh/id_rsa -u remote_user site-lacchain-ipfs.yml
