galacteek can either spawn an IPFS daemon and use it as transport, or
connect to an existing IPFS daemon. By default it will try to run a daemon. You
can change the IPFS connection settings by clicking on the settings icon in the
toolbar and restart the application afterwards. If using a custom daemon, you
should enable pubsub and p2p streams, or some features won't be available
(Check this page <https://github.com/pinnaculum/galacteek/wiki/Setup-your-daemon>_
for more information).
Use the -d command-line switch to enable debugging output. Using --profile gives you the ability to have separate application profiles (main is the default profile). Use --help for all options.
If you've changed some settings and want to go back to the default configuration, use --config-defaults.
You can run the IPFS daemon in offline mode, using --offline
Time-rotated log files can be found in the $HOME/.local/share/galacteek/main/logs directory
Enable colorized log output with --log-color
Development: Use --monitor to enable event-loop monitoring with aiomonitor_ (install aiomonitor_ manually as it's not a dependency). Then connect to the aiomonitor_ interface with nc localhost 50101
Please see the shortcuts_ page (or from the application, click on the Information icon in the toolbar, which will open the documentation).
For instructions on how to build the application, look at the BUILDING_ page.
