IPFS Video Network

Every investigation on this site includes video evidence. Those videos are stored on IPFS — the InterPlanetary File System — a decentralized network where files are identified by their content, not by a server address. That means no single company can take them down.

When you run the script below, you pin the videos to your local IPFS node. Pinning fetches the content from the network and makes your machine a host for it — anyone else who wants the videos can get them from you, just like BitTorrent. The more people who run this, the harder the videos become to censor or lose.

Run it

Paste this command in your terminal. It installs IPFS if needed, starts the daemon, and pins all videos to your node. Works on Mac (requires Homebrew) and Linux. Windows users: run in WSL or Git Bash.

What the script does

1. Checks if IPFS (kubo) is installed — installs it via Homebrew if not
2. Initializes your local IPFS repository if this is your first run
3. Starts the IPFS daemon in the background if it isn't already running
4. Fetches and pins each video to your node by content hash (CID)
5. Your node becomes a host — others can retrieve the videos from you

After running it, keep the daemon running (or set it to auto-start with brew services start kubo) so your node stays connected and serves videos to others. Videos are accessible locally at http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/<CID>.
