Configure IPFS node #9
Description
For this we will need to provide ipfs as a custom dockerfile, same as we do for the pickup worker image here https://github.com/olizilla/pickup/blob/65a1d9b1b20201119f80a9fe659455b394091e7a/stacks/PickupStack.ts#L14
An example of setting up your ipfs node from a container init script is here

Some config changes to make
# dont add provider records to the dht
ipfs config --json Experimental.StrategicProviding true
# maybe have go faster dht... but makes it unusable for the first 5 mins!! https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#accelerated-dht-client
ipfs config --json Experimental.AcceleratedDHTClient true
# as per gateways
ipfs config --json Swarm.DisableBandwidthMetrics true
# no MDNS plz
ipfs config --json Discovery.MDNS.Enabled false
# plz fail early if bits get flipped in blockstore
ipfs config --json Datastore.HashOnRead true
if we want auto GC-ing then... but might be better to just do it manually.
# Gotta GC, set with reference to the ephemeral storage available
ipfs config --json Datastore.StorageMax "200GB"
ipfs config --json Datastore.StorageGCWatermark "50"
ipfs config --json Datastore."GCPeriod" "10m"
# Maybe manually GC after each upload as well.
