This repo is an experiment created during a Hack Week (2021 Q1) to explore if it is possible to provide most of IPFS Desktop functionality without dependency on the Electron/Chromium Rube Goldberg machine.
Consider this experimental for now!
Pre-built artifacts can be found here.
They require ipfs (go-ipfs binary) to be present on PATH or in the same directory as go-ipfs-desktop.
Set IPFS_PATH to override the default repo location.
This is a portable app, meaning no installation is required.
Make sure libappindicator is present, eg. apt-get install libappindicator3-dev
