Run an isolated, private IPFS network in a Docker container.
The container runs two IPFS nodes using go-ipfs v0.4.18 that share a private IPFS network. This allows for isolation from the main IPFS network and fast and reliable responses, especially with IPNS.
docker run \
--volume ipfs-test-data:/data \
--publish 4001:4001 \
--publish 5001:5001 \
--name ipfs-test-network
gcr.io/opensourcecoin/ipfs-test-network
To wait until the nodes have connected to each other run
docker run ipfs-test-network /app/wait-until-ready
The command will timeout after 10 seconds and exit with status code 1.
You can now talk to a node in the test network from your host machine through
the ipfs CLI.
ipfs --api /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001 swarm peers
You can pass options to all nodes in the network
docker run \
ipfs-test-network \
--enable-pubsub-experiment
You can also use the ipfs executable inside the container
docker exec -it ipfs-test-network ipfs swarm peers
The IPFS repos for the two nodes live in /data/0 and /data/1.
For every master build we provide an image tagged with the short commit SHA.
(That is the first seven characters of the Git commit SHA.) The latest image
build from master has the latest tag.
