Seems like a good place to ask, is there a guide for IPFS implementers? I know there is a bunch of specs, but it's a bit hard to understand the complexity of the thing and where to look in case I was looking to implement it, instead of say bittorrent-based content delivery.



We have bunch of interfaces + tests you can use and also a good place to start is over here: https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/master/overviews/implemen...

We want to make it easier though, and haven't really got there yet. But if you have questions, #ipfs on freenode is a good place where core devs and the community hang around usually.


Acknowledged -- the documentation around IPFS and libp2p is not exactly delighful yet :) A new community member as written up their notes on diving into the IPFS ecosystem here: https://github.com/ipfs/specs/issues/145


There's a Docker repo which you may find useful: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs#docker-usage
