go-ipfs-example-plugin

example plugin for go-ipfs

This repository contains a set of example go-ipfs plugins, demonstrating how to integrate external plugins into go-ipfs.

Packages:

• delaystore: an example datastore plugin that wraps an inner datastore in a "delayed" datastore.
• greeter: an example daemon plugin that prints "Hello!" on start and "Goodbye!" on exit.

NOTE 1: Plugins only work on Linux and MacOS at the moment. You can track the progress of this issue here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19282

NOTE 2: This plugin exists as an example and a starting point for new plugins. It isn't particularly useful by itself.

Building and Installing

You can build the example plugin by running make build. You can then install it into your local IPFS repo by running make install.

Plugins need to be built against the correct version of go-ipfs. This package generally tracks the latest go-ipfs release but if you need to build against a different version, please set the IPFS_VERSION environment variable.

You can set IPFS_VERSION to:

• vX.Y.Z to build against that version of IPFS.
• $commit or $branch to build against a specific go-ipfs commit or branch.
  • Note: if building against a commit or branch make sure to build that commit/branch using the -trimpath flag. For example getting the binary via go get -trimpath github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs@COMMIT
• /absolute/path/to/source to build against a specific go-ipfs checkout.

To update the go-ipfs, run:

> make go.mod IPFS_VERSION=version
