Permalinkable Content-Addressing for IPFS

[onedrawingperday]

I am opening this issue after this forum topic

IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data, that uses a content identifier, or CID, as a label used to point to material in IPFS. Last month the Brave browser became the first browser to integrate the new protocol

Basically this is a feature request about offering Permalinkable Content Addressing through Hugo.

• Calculate the SHA256 hash (and/or other hash functions) of a content page.
• Use the generated value as a permalink for a Custom Ouput Format (in this case IPFS)

Currently IPFS documentation recommends that Hugo users set relativeURLS=true and only generate a CID for the folder that contains the data.

This feature would allow for a complete IPFS implementation.

Instead of being location-based, IPFS addresses a file by what's in it, or by its content. The content identifier above is a cryptographic hash of the content at that address. The hash is unique to the content that it came from, even though it may look short compared to the original content. It also allows you to verify that you got what you asked for — bad actors can't just hand you content that doesn't match.

Just a note that this semi-duplicates #7621

I am closing this issue since #7621 is a more comprehensive issue.
