ipfs-stay-connected

A simple app that issues IPFS shell commands to keep the local node connected to a list of other IPFS nodes.

IPFS has a poor habit of dropping connections to peers as part of its normal operation. This is extremely frustrating when trying to send and receive files with specific peers that you manually connected to. This app will renew the connection every 2 minutes by issuing a ipfs swarm connect <peer> command for each peer listed in the peers.js file.

This app is intended for personal use, but other people are free to fork and use it if they find it useful.
