Dumio - Decentralized Video sharing and Social Media platform

About The Project

Dumio is a Video sharing and Social Media Platform similar to YouTube, but runs on Blockchain. Dumio is built for secure, and faster video sharing and broadcasting. Videos uploaded to Dumio are stored in a distributed manner through IPFS, which makes hackers lose their attack targets and makes data more secure.

Built With

• Frontend framework: React.js
• Smart contracts: Solidity
• Ethereum web client library: Web3.js
• File storage: IPFS
• CSS Framework: Bootstrap
• Ethereum development environment: Truffle, Ganache
• Layer 2 blockchain: Polygon

Getting Started

To get this application up and and running on your local machine follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

You need to have Node.js, NPM and hardhat installed on your computer, before running this project.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/roshangeorge97/Dumio
   

2. Change Directory

   cd Dumio
   

3. Install NPM packages

   npm install

   or

   yarn install

4. Create an .env file and get an API key from Livepeer studio, Web3 Storage and Imagekit.

   MNEMONIC=

5. Migrate the smart contract

   For Ganache:

   truffle migrate

   For Mumbai Testnet:

   truffle migrate --network matic

   Note : When Deploying Polygon Network ie; Mumbai Testnet, you would get a Polling Error, so its recommended to use a Custom RPC

   Setting up a custom RPC

   step 1 : Sign up to https://rpc.maticvigil.com/ and Create an App server

   step 2 : Copy the Custom RPC Url and Paste in the .env file

   Mumbai_Testnet_RPC_URL=
   

6. start IPFS node

   Note : you must Install IPFS in your system before starting the IPFS Node.

   IPFS installation :

   $ npm install -g ipfs

   Run the Node:

   $ jsipfs daemon
   
   
   

7. Run the app

   npm run start
