Raw Blame History

Intergalactic

Intergalactic is a client-side gateway to the IPFS distributed web. After the initial page load and bootstrapping, it pulls content from IPFS peers entirely in your browser.

Motivation

Intergalactic brings the distributed web to anyone with a web browser. This allows web developers and content producers to publish their content through IPFS, while still allowing users to consume it. All without having to download any software or go through a centralized gateway.

Installation

npm install

TODO

Usage

Development

First, run the following from your copy of Intergalactic's source code:

node server.js

Then, enter a URL like http://localhost:3000/ipfs/<hash> into your web browser, where <hash> is the IPFS hash of some content on the network.

If the corresponding content is loadable, it will load and render in your browser.
