To set up IPFS Cluster, follow these steps:

  1. Install IPFS: Ensure that you have IPFS installed on your machine. You can refer to the IPFS documentation for installation instructions specific to your operating system. Here is the link to the documentation: IPFS Installation.

  2. Initialize IPFS: Initialize your IPFS node by running the command ipfs init. This command will create the necessary configuration files and set up your IPFS node.

  3. Configure IPFS Cluster: Configure IPFS Cluster by referring to the IPFS Cluster documentation. The configuration file for IPFS Cluster is typically located at ~/.ipfs-cluster/service.json. Detailed instructions on how to configure IPFS Cluster can be found in the documentation: IPFS Cluster Configuration.

  4. Set up Cluster Peer: Start the IPFS Cluster service to set up a cluster peer. Execute the command ipfs-cluster-service daemon to start the service. This will initiate the IPFS Cluster peer and establish a connection with your IPFS node.

  5. Join Cluster: Once your cluster peer is running, you can join it to an existing IPFS Cluster or create a new one. To manage your IPFS Cluster, utilize the ipfs-cluster-ctl command-line tool. For detailed instructions on joining or creating a cluster, refer to the IPFS Cluster documentation: IPFS Cluster Join/Create.

Please note that setting up IPFS Cluster can be a complex process. It is highly recommended to carefully read the documentation and follow the provided instructions to ensure a successful setup.
