IPFS-Nucleus is a minimal block daemon for IPLD based services. You could call it an IPLDaemon. It includes optional auth for retrieving blocks over bitswap.
It implements the following http api calls from IPFS:
- id
- block.get
- block.put
- block.has
- block.stat
- block.rm (only needed by GC)
- refs.local (only needed by GC)
As well as implementing the p2p http proxy (incoming and outgoing).
- Addresses.ProxyTarget - The incoming http proxy target
- Addresses.AllowTarget - The api for allow calls when blocks are requested over bitswap - allow(cid, block data, source peer id, auth string) => boolean
It is designed as a drop in replacment for IPFS with the minimal functionality that Peergos needs to operate, including running an external GC. It includes support for leveldb datastore and flatfs and S3 based blockstores including bloomfilter based wrapping.
It will read its config from a prior existing ipfs config file if present, or create one with the relevant parameters. It uses a v0 blockstore (cids) rather than a v1 (multihashes).
The CLI supports the following sub-commands similar to ipfs:
- init
- config
go build daemon/ipfs-nucleus.go
