Try the docker-compose.yml
file to build a single peer in the public network first.
On Ubuntu 18.04, i got some message like:
Error: /data/ipfs is not writeable by the current user
And, the same error while using the formal docker image ipfs/go-ipfs
.
! Even with a sudo
permission and the param --privileged
in docker.
So, use the command sudo ./start.sh X
to create a private network of ipfs with X peers instead. But, the web UI on port 5001 is not usable yet.
Damn the Linux?
