A minimal file uploader that uploads a a file to ipfs, compiles an ethereum smart contract with the file identifer from ipfs(cid). Allowing
dapp developers to query for the ipfs file on ethereum's blockchain
Built and tested on debian 10
local instance of ipfs(run sh make install)
solc(run sh make install_solc)
Rust
$ make install
$ make build
You can either just run the binary from the target folder or use:
$ cargo run --release myfile.txt

usage: target/release/ipfs_contract file_to_upload Or target/release/ipfs_contract:
./target/release/ipfs_contract /tmp/test
Welcome to the IPFS file uploader and cid smart contract generator
Connecting to ipfs on localhost
Uploaded file to ipfs with Cid: "QmeomffUNfmQy76CQGy9NdmqEnnHU9soCexBnGU3ezPHVH"
Generated solidity contract: QmeomffUNfmQy76CQGy9NdmqEnnHU9soCexBnGU3ezPHVH.sol
Compiled the smart contract
You can now deploy the compiled contract and get the cid to your file on ipfs by quering the getfile function
