dbio - Share your bio via the InterPlanetary File System

dbio is a web application that allows you to very easily publish an about.me-style web page to IPFS.

Using

To use this app, your node needs to be writable with CORS enabled. You can do that by running:

$ ipfs config --json Gateway.Writable true
$ ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin '["*"]'
$ ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Methods '["PUT", "POST", "GET"]'

Running

First, like all good Node.JS projects, you've got to run:

$ npm install

Since this project was started a long time ago, it uses Elm 0.18.0. Binaries for this version aren't available using NPM anymore. Instead, this version of Elm must be downloaded as a tarball from a github repository. To do this, run:

$ npm run install-tarballs

Now, you can use

$ npm run build
$ npm start

All the files are accessed using relative links, so you can host the entire app on your IPFS node by pinning the www directory, or you can host it wherever you like.
