Setting a web server as IPFS node

1

hi,

Sorry if my question is very elementary.

Is it possible to set our private web server to act as a node for IPFS ( for example “myServer.com/…/…”? I mean is there any possibility for setting a server address for IPFS node in order to put files on server and share it with others?

(May be it is titled as “Setting up a public IPFS gateway at a custom domain name”

thanks in advance,

hi,

when we run your node with ipfs you have gateway enalbe aftr that locally you can define a DNS for that. for configure url in ipfs see config set manuals also.

Thanks a lot for your attention.

Do you have any clear example to show me how to do this?

hi,

see that : http://ipfs.git.sexy/sketches/run_a_gateway.html for step ‘Next, modify your ipfs configuration’ see that

ipfs config edit - Opens the config file for editing in $EDITOR

DESCRIPTION:

To use 'ipfs config edit', you must have the $EDITOR environment
variable set to your preferred text editor.
