Running multiple ipfs

[ottuzzi]

Hi,

how can I run multiple ipfs daemon on a single machine? It would be useful to change:

• ipfs init to specify where to create .ipfs directory
• ipfs daemon to specify from which directory to read config file
• ipfs any other command to specify from which directory to read config file

I cannot see in any help if these features are already available.

What do you think?
Thank in advance
Bye
Piero

You can use the IPFS_PATH env variable with any command (it defaults to ~/.ipfs)

you can also specify the command line flag -c with the same effect.

you can also use the --api flag to target a remote daemon
