If I had a device at home running an #IPFS node, would it "dox" my IP address or is there some abstraction layer inbetween that serves as security measure?

To my understanding it does. Just about to get into the whole thing, I want to make sure to take appropriate security measures and what to look for.

@Natanox Peers taht talk to you will see your IP address, like with any other network connection. But that doesn't imply it is your content that gets loaded from your peer.

Once you put something up, let me know the content IDs and I will pin them to my nodes for improved deniability ;).

@nik Okay, that's what I thought. Will use a most cheap VPS for it then.
I've seen there are JS implementations, I could only find frameworks though. Do you know if there's a node as well? Using a webspace instead of VPS would be way cheaper.

Thanks for the federational help offer. I want to use it for patches necessary in Lutris install scripts, so it's definitely for data that helps everyone!

@nik
The files are up now, in case ~600mb ain't too much for you.
I'll include those files into an updated Lutris install script for the game later since the current one is broken, as I planed to.

/ipfs/bafybeifeau2wo6tz7w25g7fu3sjhozpalpmdi6pxy3zalma2rqsuvgzeiq/

A directory of content-addressed files hosted on IPFS.

A quick question: I now got a go-ipfs node running on a server (inside docker). Should I configure it in some special way to be in the safe side, legally? Or are nodes by default not collecting & sharing random data?
