ipfs-kubo

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers and operators to manage IPFS/Kubo nodes and content via a single, CLI-driven guide, reducing setup time and misconfigurations in distributed storage workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Node lifecycle: init, daemon, id, version for quick node bootstrap and status checks.
• File operations: add, get, cat, ls, refs to store and retrieve content by CID.
• Pin and repo management: pin add/rm/ls and repo gc to control retention and garbage collection.
• Network and remote operations: swarm peers/connect and --api usage for remote node control.
• Migration and config diagnostics: repo migrate, config show/get/set for migrations and troubleshooting.
• Use case: deploy a node, publish data to IPFS, then migrate to a new host with preserved identity.

Quick Start

Initialize a local IPFS node with ipfs init and start the daemon, then add a sample file to IPFS.
