Caused by not setting ipfs repo environment variable. To prevent this from happening again, launching of all temporal services has been scripted to set the environment repo accordingly.

Possible solutions:

• Sym linking the standard IPFS path, to the non-standard path. This would ensure that if we forget to ever set the environment variable it should still function properly.
