#IPFS Gateway Website Host

This project contains a set of scripts to easily create an IPFS public gateway that serves static content for a set of specified domain names.

1. Install IPFS and nginx
2. Add an A record for the domains you want to serve content at your host
3. Add a TXT at the subdomain _dnslink.[domain] pointed at the IPFS/IPNS content you want to host
4. Clone this project and run init [domain]

• This will request a Let's Encrypt certificate for the domain. Ensure the DNS records have had a chance to propogate.
• You can specify multiple domains at once with init example.com example.net
• init is idempotent and is safe to be called multiple times with new domains as needed

1. Set up a cron job to call cron every 10 minutes:

• $ echo "*/10 * * * * root /path/to/repo/cron | sudo tee -a /etc/crontab > /dev/null

1. Set up a cron job to call certbot renew on some interval:

• $ echo "0 0,12 * * * root python -c 'import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)' && certbot renew -q" | sudo tee -a /etc/crontab > /dev/null

1. Restart nginx

• (systemctl restart nginx if using systemd)
