Wishlist: Make more IPFS options available

@TheDiscordian this sounds really great!

I really like to test this out, but I would need a couple of options, so I thought I could maybe post a wishlist 🥺

Ability to

  • set blake2b-256 as hash algorithm
  • select rabin as chunker (with min/max/avg)
  • use only CIDv1 (not sure if that's not already the case)
  • use raw-leaves

Additionally, I think I would need a way to trigger the whole sync process manually, as I would fetch a lot of data via rsync in irregular intervals. After the rsync process has completed its work I would like to notify ipfs-sync to start pushing the changes and terminate afterwards (or just pause the sync and wait for the next signal).

So maybe the easiest way would be to have it listen to SIGHUP or something like that. So I can send a signal vial kill to start syncing.

Sorry for my super late response, not sure how I missed this issue. I like all of this, more options the better!
