IPFS datastore implementation backed by s3
A Datastore implementation that stores data on Amazon S3.
If the flag createIfMissing is not set or is false, then the bucket must be created prior to using datastore-s3. Please see the AWS docs for information on how to configure the S3 instance. A bucket name is required to be set at the s3 instance level, see the below example.
import { S3 } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3'
import { S3Datastore } from 'datastore-s3'
const s3 = new S3({
region: 'region',
credentials: {
accessKeyId: 'myaccesskey',
secretAccessKey: 'mysecretkey'
}
})
const store = new S3Datastore(
s3,
'my-bucket',
{ path: '.ipfs/datastore', createIfMissing: false }
)
Using with Helia
See [examples/helia](./examples/helia) for a full example of how to use Helia with an S3 backed datastore.
