How to Save YouTube Videos on IPFS in 5 Minutes: SimpleAsWater Tutorial

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized file system that transforms the approach to data storage and transmission on the internet. In this guide, we will show you how to download and save YouTube videos on IPFS in just a few minutes, ensuring their preservation and accessibility.

Key Steps:

  1. Installing IPFS

    • First, you need to install IPFS. Instructions for installation are available on the official IPFS site.

  2. Installing YouTube-dl

    • To download videos from YouTube, we use the youtube-dl utility. Install it using the command:
      sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

  3. Downloading Video from YouTube

    • Download the video using youtube-dl:
      youtube-dl <video URL>

  4. Adding Video to IPFS

    • After downloading the video, add it to IPFS with the command:
      ipfs add <file name>
    • You will receive a hash that will be used to access the video via IPFS.

  5. Accessing Video through IPFS

    • Use the obtained hash to access the video through IPFS:
      https://ipfs.io/ipfs/<file hash>

Benefits of Using IPFS:

  • Decentralization: Videos are distributed across network nodes rather than stored on a single server.
