I had some issues with running a local ipfs client on my server, so I decided to switch to a pinning service to host this blog.
After a short Google escapade, I found ipfs-deploy, a nodejs program that automates pinning to several services.
I selected pinata as my pinning service because it gives 1 GB of free storage and allows some minimal pin management. I do not expect to continue to serve past versions of this website, so I am less worried about the perpetual availability of old versions of these pages.
My setup remains the same as what I described
previously with the difference that now I
call ipd
instead of ipfs add
.
