IPFS pkg

[succube]

Guys,

Any plan to integrate IPFS Distributed file system in QNAP ?
Check this: https://ipfs.io
Cheers

There are many apps, particularly distributed apps which serve information to areas with intermittent internet connections, which would benefit from a port of ipfs to QNAP NAS devices. Pinning data to a QNAP NAS as a highly reliable IPFS peer is something I seek for some apps supporting global health workers!

I was entertaining the idea of creating this as a QPKG, but then read the security notes:

IPFS Alpha Security Notes

We try hard to ensure our system is safe and robust, but all software
has bugs, especially new software. This distribution is meant to be an
alpha preview, don't use it for anything mission critical.

Please note the following:

- This is alpha software and has not been audited. It is our goal
to conduct a proper security audit once we close in on a 1.0 release.

- ipfs is a networked program, and may have serious undiscovered
vulnerabilities. It is written in Go, and we do not execute any
user provided data. But please point any problems out to us in a
github issue, or email security@ipfs.io privately.

- ipfs uses encryption for all communication, but it's NOT PROVEN SECURE
YET! It may be totally broken. For now, the code is included to make
sure we benchmark our operations with encryption in mind. In the future,
there will be an "unsafe" mode for high performance intranet apps.
If this is a blocking feature for you, please contact us.

Might be too early to trust this software.
