next-bucket

Why would I use this, Jim?

• Want to put things on IPFS easily.
• Love using Textile. Data on a Textile Bucket is stored on IPLD and pinned on to IPFS automatically.
• You can use any gateway to retrieve your CID. This CID is a GIF version of the NFT-linked-asset that exists for https://foundation.app/ertdfgcvb/1613493082123-355.
• [EARLY TESTING] Take your bucket and put it on the Filecoin Network with a storage deal.
• [IN PROGRESS] Easier ways to verify your Filecoin address to make verified deals.

Introduction

This template should provide an easy way for you to set up Textile Buckets and pin content to the IPFS network. NextJS is the logical choice because

• It is easy to learn.
• Minimal setup for maximum output.
• A lot of people know it.
• Has a story around environment variables and light server functions.

In addition, NextJS and decentralized solutions such as Magic are an awesome combination if you want to create a website such as OpenSea.

I would like it to be easy for anyone to roll their own website without the need for a separate database such as Postgres or MongoDB. If you take a poke around hopefully this is a simple enough configuration for you.

Setup (MacOS)

Start by cloning the repository, or by clicking on Use this template above.

git clone [email protected]:application-research/next-bucket.git
cd next-bucket

• Create a .env.local file.
  • The command: touch .env.local.
• In this file you will want to include your Textile Hub keys and other secrets you don't want exposed to the client.

TEXTILE_HUB_KEY=XXX
TEXTILE_HUB_SECRET=XXX
IPFS_GATEWAY=https://ipfs.io

The easiest way to generate your user group keys for Textile is to download the latest version of the hub https://github.com/textileio/textile/releases/tag/v2.6.6

• Stuck? Read this: https://docs.textile.io/hub/apis/.
  • Still stuck? Post an issue if you have any questions :-)

Now install dependencies and run the server.

npm install
npm run dev

Go to http://localhost:3000 in your browser of choice. Enjoy!
