Please add IPFS Cluster as a pinning service alongside Piñata

Open ec1oud opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Since ipfs-cluster-service is readily available for users to install on their own servers, it should be easier to set up in the web UI: not a custom service, but a primary supported one.

There are some vague docs here: http://ipfscluster.io/documentation/reference/pinsvc_api/ The process to get a "secret access token" is to use basic auth first. So maybe it's better to have UI for doing that too? If one is setting it up for the first time on a local network, providing user and password would be a good place to start; after that's been done once, and the UI has downloaded the auth token, it should offer to save it to a file for next time, and for use outside the local network.

@ec1oud thanks for submitting this feature request. I think this is a great idea and something we want to do in the future, but it will be de-prioritized in favor of #1965. We're open to PRs for adding this functionality.

Since it's already possible to add a pinning provider via the custom pinning service form, I'm setting this as P3.

@hugomrdias @tinytb @lidel re: adding IPFS Cluster Pinning service secret access token support in webui

We don't have the bandwidth to take this on for a while, but do we want to pursue more GUI support for IPFS Cluster inside of webui moving forward?
