ipfs-key - unmaintained

[koxon]

To generate a CLUSTER_ID and PRIVATEKEY you suggest in the documentation to use ipfs-key from this repo: https://github.com/whyrusleeping/ipfs-key

It appears that this repo is unmaintained, PRs are not merged, and the install process doesn't work anymore after GO deprecated some functions.

Could you please explain how to generate this ID and KEY so we can do it ourselves? Never I found explanation on how to generate this ID and key. What is the expected format?
Or could you bring this util inside the IPFS Cluster official repository along with ipfs-cluster-ctl?

This is very confusing for non-coders and people getting started. It creates frictions we could easily avoid.

thanks

You can use ipfs-cluster-service -c <temp_folder> init and pick up key/values from the identity file. Or IPFS_PATH=<temp_folder> ipfs init and do the same. ipfs-key is only to facilitate generating multiple keys in a single place.
