Configuring gomobile-ipfs for Private IPFS Network
I am exploring the use of gomobile-ipfs to leverage IPFS on my Android/iOS smartphone. I have successfully built and run the source code, but it automatically starts a public IPFS node. I would like to configure it to launch as a private IPFS network instead. Can anyone guide me on how to set up gomobile-ipfs for a private IPFS network on a smartphone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1To configure gomobile-ipfs to launch as a private network IPFS, you can modify the configuration file of the IPFS node that is started by gomobile-ipfs.
Locate the configuration file of the IPFS node. In gomobile-ipfs, the configuration file is typically located at ~/.ipfs/config on your device.
Open the configuration file in a text editor.
Look for the Swarm section in the configuration file. This section defines the network settings for the IPFS node.
In the Swarm section, you can configure the IPFS node to connect to specific peers by adding their multiaddresses to the Peers array. For example, you can add the multiaddress of another IPFS node that you want your gomobile-ipfs node to connect to.
You can also configure the Announce and NoAnnounce arrays to control which addresses your IPFS node announces to the network and which addresses it does not announce.
Save the configuration file.
Restart gomobile-ipfs to apply the changes.
By configuring the Swarm section in the configuration file, you can control the network behavior of your gomobile-ipfs node and make it part of a private IPFS network.
