Example of Dumping Vitalik's Blogs On-Chain

Steps

1. Run git clone https://github.com/ethstorage/vitalik.blog.git

2. Run cd vitalik.blog

3. Run npm i -g ethfs-cli

4. Create a FlatDirectory contract, which should return a contract address.

   ethfs-cli create -p <private-key> -c <chain-id>

5. Upload the blog via:

   ethfs-cli upload -a <contract-addr> -p <private-key> -f blog -c <chain-id>

(Note: if the upload process hangs, feel free to stop and restart the upload command)

Finally, you should be able to browse the blog at web3://<contract-addr>:3334/ or using our gateway https://<contract-addr>.3334.w3link.io/index.html. Enjoy!

Bonus: Do you know how to set up default file so that you could directly browse using a directory pointer (e.g., https://<contract-addr>.3334.w3link.io/ without index.html)

Existing example:

• https://vitalikblog.eth.1.w3link.io/
• https://0xd8029dEDb2A16B378aF6D13413a5781ff1a640Da.3334.w3link.io/
