I am interested in cloning a “.ipfs” directory with all content (included cached and pinned files), copy it to a new machine, change its “ipfs id” identity and serve content.
Basically, I am cloning microSD cards with a primed “.ipfs” cache and I want the new raspberry PI to reuse that content but having a new IPFS personality.
Would it be enough to change “Identity/PeerID” and “Identity/PrivKey”?. Are there fingerprints of the old identity somewhere in the “.ipfs” directory/database?
If I am right, I would do a “ipfs init” in a different directory and then I would simply replace “Identity/PeerID” and “Identity/PrivKey” in “.ipfs/config”.
Please, let me know if my approach would work or, if faulty, please, provide some details.
Thanks.
