Trujillo 🌍

Trujillo is an experimental software that combines IPFS and Apache to serve static content on the web as a Content Delivery Network.

Requirements

• Python 3
• Apache 2
• Ipfs

The current theoretical configuration is as follows:

WEB <-----> Apache 2 <-----> IPFS

Apache 2 works as a reverse proxy between the web user and IPFS, thats because ipfs stores files on the network and indexes with a hash.

Because when the static content is made available on the network, the filename is lost, apache is needed to map the hashes to its respective filenames so that the end user can still use its original filename to reach the file.

Generate content mapping

python map_generator.py /path/to/static/content

This command generates a file map_file.txt similar to this :

map_file.txt will be then used in the VirtualHost file to configure the reverse proxy.

Generate apache configuration

python apache_configuration_generator.py
