IPFS Daemon cannot be started though it is already running

[ligi]

System information

AKASHA version: 0.7.2

Operating System: ubuntu 18.04

Expected behaviour

If I run a local IPFS daemon in recent version I should be able to start akasha and ideally akasha having this daemon used

Actual behaviour

akasha fails to start when local IPFS daemon running

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. start IPFS (ipfs daemon)
2. try to start akasha

⋊> ~ ipfs version                                                       20:43:17
ipfs version 0.4.15

I've also had a case once when Akasha started IPFS, but the daemon did not stop when Akasha was closed which of course yielded this result when I tried to start Akasha back up. It seems to me that Akasha should be able to piggyback on running daemons so that those daemons are not dependent on whether Akasha is running or not (the same way that the IPFS companion piggybacks on a running IPFS daemon).

Right now it always tries to start a new instance of go-ipfs. You can change the configuration to use a different storage path and different ports than the default ones.
