Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the shareable links default to using ipfs.io to resolve the content. It would be nice if we were able to set which gateway we'd like to use (whether another public gateway or our own).

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally, there's a box somewhere I can enter a gateway URL to be used whenever I copy from a shareable link.

This is a good idea.

• MVP: define default gateway URL in the config file (src/common/store.js) and use value from the config when copying link
• Better: allow user to set value in config via UI (prompt for gateway URL + validate it is correct by loading test CID and comparing payload)

I'm happy to review a PR if someone wants to take a stab at this.

@amackenzie In the meantime, you can specify public gateway (for your own fallback, and for shareable links) in IPFS Companion's prefs.

(moving to ipfs-webui repo, since this work would happen upstream)

MVP here would be to allow override via localStorage (so ipfs-companion can control used gateway):)

window.localStorage.setItem('ipfsPublicGateway', 'https://cf-ipfs.com')

Nice to have: add UI for setting this via Settings screen. PRs welcome!

This is possible via the settings screen:
