Is there a way to start Orbit without starting ipfs-deamon, because one is already running.

Hi @fentas! Currently it's not possible to use a running IPFS daemon, Orbit always starts its own, isolated one.
However, there's technically no reason why we couldn't do this and the support for doing so is provided by the modules used to start the daemon, mainly ipfs-daemon.
Would you be interested in adding this feature and do a PR? If so, let me know and I can point you to the right places in the code where changes are needed.
