Welcome to Dead Man Switch!

The documentation what this project is about can be found here The following steps describe the process of hosting the dead man switch application.

Prerequisites:

• Golang installed (Version 1.11+)
• goBuffalo installed (Version 13.07+)
• Postgres Database running (Docker or native is up to you)

IPFS Node Setup

First get navigate to your $GOPATH and install go-ipfs component

go get -u -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs

Then navigate to the folder which was created in the previous step

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs

Next you will install the IPFS with the make command. This takes some time so grab yourself a hot beverage

make install

To finally spin up your local IPFS node you have to initialize and start the node

ipfs init
ipfs daemon

Now you have a IPFS node running on your machine. Visit the dashboard by browsing to http://127.0.0.1:5001/webui
