dgkncelik/c-ipfs

IPFS implementation in C. Why C? Think Bitshares' Stealth backups, OpenWrt routers (decentralize the internet/meshnet!), Android TV, decentralized Media, decentralized websites, decentralized Apps, Browsers and mobile chat, decentralized CDN's and App Stores, RasPi's, old pc's and more...

C-IPFS

IPFS implementation in C, (not just an API client library).

Quick start for users:

• ipfs init to create an ipfs repository on your machine
• ipfs add MyFile.txt to add a file to the repository, will return with a hash that can be used to retrieve the file.
• ipfs cat hash to retrieve a file from the repository

For techies (ipfs spec docs):

• getting started
• specifications
• getting started
• libp2p

Prerequisites: To compile the C version you will need:

• lmdb
• c-protobuf
• c-multihash
• c-multiaddr
• c-libp2p

And of course this project at https://github.com/Agorise/c-ipfs

The compilation at this point is simple, but not very flexible. Place all of these projects in a directory. Compile all (the order above is recommended) by going into each one and running "make all".
