IPFS hosting

Playground exploring various ways of automating deployment of a static website to IPFS.

file	description
deploy.sh	Simple bash script using locally installed ipfs daemon
deploy.js	Deploy from Node.js via js-ipfs-api & js-ipfs

Scope

Every way needs to go from build output to live:

• add dist/ folder and contents to IPFS
• output the final IPFS url
• write IPFS hash into versions/current and add to versions/history
• DNS either via IPNS or DNS provider API calls
• consider to be run in a CI context

DNS settings

CNAME: `subdomain.domain.com` -> `gateway.ipfs.io`
TXT: `_dnslink.subdomain.domain.com` -> `dnslink=/ipns/<peer_id>`
