IPFS cluster management tool
ipfs-cluster-ctl
is the client application to manage the cluster nodes and perform actions. ipfs-cluster-ctl
uses the HTTP API provided by the nodes and it is completely separate from the cluster service.
Usage information can be obtained by running:
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl --help
You can also obtain command-specific help with ipfs-cluster-ctl help [cmd]
. The (--host
) can be used to talk to any remote cluster peer (localhost
is used by default). In summary, it works as follows:
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl id # show cluster peer and ipfs daemon information
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl peers ls # list cluster peers
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl peers add /ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/1234/<peerid> # add a new cluster peer
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl peers rm <peerid> # remove a cluster peer
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl pin add Qma4Lid2T1F68E3Xa3CpE6vVJDLwxXLD8RfiB9g1Tmqp58 # pins a CID in the cluster
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl pin rm Qma4Lid2T1F68E3Xa3CpE6vVJDLwxXLD8RfiB9g1Tmqp58 # unpins a CID from the cluster
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl status # display tracked CIDs information
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl sync Qma4Lid2T1F68E3Xa3CpE6vVJDLwxXLD8RfiB9g1Tmqp58 # sync information from the IPFS daemon
$ ipfs-cluster-ctl recover Qma4Lid2T1F68E3Xa3CpE6vVJDLwxXLD8RfiB9g1Tmqp58 # attempt to re-pin/unpin CIDs in error state
ipfs-cluster-ctl
takes a --debug
flag which allows to inspect request paths and raw response bodies.
