IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a hypermedia p2p protocol suite
|
|
that has HTTP gateway built in. It can be used to store any kind of
|
|
immutable datasets, organized in files, directories, and commits.
|
|
|
|
For more information, check out go-ipfs (which is central package for
|
|
IPFS, but not a direct dependency for ipfs-pack).
|
|
|
|
ipfs-pack is a tool and library to work with ipfs and large
|
|
collections of data in UNIX/POSIX filesystems.
|
|
|
|
It identifies singular collections or bundles of data (the pack).
|
|
|
|
It creates a light-weight cryptographically secure manifest that
|
|
preserves the integrity of the collection over time, and travels
|
|
with the data (PackManifest).
|
|
|
|
It helps use ipfs in a mode that references the filesystem files
|
|
directly and avoids duplicating data (filestore).
|
|
|
|
It carries a standard dataset metadata file to capture and present
|
|
information about the dataset (data-package.json).
|
|
|
|
It helps verify the authenticity of data through a file carrying
|
|
cryptographic signatures (PackAuth).
