Port to IPFS Go-reference Client

[christroutner]

Enhancement request:

Creating a Tor transport has appeared to stall within the primary Protocol Lab/IPFS organziation. A lot of people would get value from this tor-transport if it could be easily included in the IPFS go-reference client.

@placer14 pointed me to this document:
https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/master/docs/tor.md

I'm a little confused as to how one would go about including this transport into an IPFS node, assuming a Tor daemon was running on port 9150.

@christroutner This is how ob-go does it: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/master/cmd/start.go#L353-L373

Another great link. Thanks!

I think what I'm confused on, at this point, is how to edit the IPFS config file to communicate exclusively over tor.

It's easy enough to install Tor daemon in Ubuntu with the command sudo apt install tor, which result in a SOCK5 proxy daemon running on port 9150.

I can follow Open Bazaar Tor setup document, but how would I actually 'plug in' this transport into a vanilla IPFS node?
