Dockerfile and script to integrate the go-ds-s3 plugin

The Dockerfile builds IPFS and the go-ds-s3 plugin together using the same golang version. It copies the relevant files to the final Docker image.

At the moment, this solution supports Kubo v0.19.x base Docker image. The v0.20.x is not yet supported.

We also copy the 001-config.sh shell script to manipulate the IPFS config file before startup.

Config changes

The script injects the correct config in the Datastore.Spec object to setup the plugin and update the datastore_spec file to reflect the new datastore configuration.

Edit the 001-config.sh to fit your use case.

Building the image

cd docker
docker build -t my-ipfs-image .

Running a container

export ipfs_staging=/local/data/ipfs_staging
export ipfs_data=/local/data/ipfs_data
docker run -d -v $ipfs_staging:/export -v $ipfs_data:/data/ipfs -p 4001:4001 -p 4001:4001/udp -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -p 127.0.0.1:5001:5001 --env-file .env my-ipfs-image

Note that we pass a .env file that contains the following environment variables:

AWS_REGION=<my_region>
CLUSTER_S3_BUCKET=<my_bucket>
CLUSTER_PEERNAME=<node_name>
CLUSTER_AWS_KEY=<aws_key>
CLUSTER_AWS_SECRET=<aws_secret>
