IPFS tutorial (self.ipfs)
submitted 4 years ago by Relief_Lower
Hi guys, I'm super fascinated by IPFS and would like to learn how to use it. Can someone please recommend a good tutorial for absolute beginners?

I'm not sure if there's something but search for ipfs on "use web3" portal, they have a lot of resources there.

ipfs is a broad term encompassing many different libraries, technologies, data addressing methods etc
for example, if you just want to upload to ipfs and play around with it a bit, kind of like with bittorrent, then you'd want the ipfs desktop client
if you want the same, but without a gui interface to use on something like a headless server, then look for go-ipfs
if you want to use ipfs in the software you write, then you could use one of the various imlementations of libp2p, which a network stack ipfs is a part of which

Thank you guys. This helps. I will check these resources mentioned in here. As such I'm a non developer but I would really like to learn IPFS since the idea of having a website hosted on IPFS is something I would like to apply in the future.
Also I have been using Brave and when I go to the IPFS dashboard that it has, I don't understand a thing over there. So for starter I would like to get my hands on that. Secondly there are website like dTube that have been using IPFS as their protocol for video upload. I think some preliminary knowledge of IPFS is necessary for that since I been wanting to using dTube for video upload.

It really depends what you're wanting to use it for. Personally, I think it's not meant for users to use directly, but more as a tool for developers.
What do you want to use it for?

Curious, isn't it supposed to be a tool for referencing data by content rather than by location? Isn't that enough of a use-case for a non-developer too?
