This is a simple web application that allows users to upload files, store them in an IPFS cluster, and download files from the cluster.

Prerequisites

• Go programming language (v1.16 or higher)
• IPFS (go-ipfs)
• IPFS Cluster
• PostgreSQL (optional if you want to store metadata)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rishitashaw/ipfs-cluster.git
   cd ipfs-cluster

2. Install the dependencies:

   go mod download

3. Start the IPFS daemon:

   docker-compose up -d

4. Build and run the application:

   go run main.go

   The application will be available at http://localhost:8888.

Usage

• Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8888.
• Use the file upload form to select a file and upload it to the IPFS Cluster.
• Once the upload is complete, the file will be stored in the IPFS Cluster, and you will see its hash displayed on the page.
