Role Variables

ipfs_ansible_group: Ansible group, that contains managed ipfs nodes. Default: all.
ipfs_home_dir: default /var/lib/ipfs
ipfs_version: (it's obvious)
ipfs_init_profile: Profile to apply when initializing ipfs (see Configure profile)
ipfs_gc_when: When to run ipfs repo gc. Systemd time (see man systemd.time).
ipfs_force_https_download: Force downloading binary archive from https, even when service is running. Default: no.
ipfs_force_migration: Force running ipfs repo migrate. Implies unconditionally stopping the service. Default: no.
ipfs_swarm_port: 4001
ipfs_public_addresses: Public swarm addresses. Default:
- /ip4/{{ ansible_default_ipv4['address'] }}/tcp/{{ ipfs_swarm_port }}
- /ip4/{{ ansible_default_ipv4['address'] }}/udp/{{ ipfs_swarm_port }}/quic
- /ip4/{{ ansible_default_ipv4['address'] }}/udp/{{ ipfs_swarm_port }}/quic-v1
- /ip4/{{ ansible_default_ipv4['address'] }}/udp/{{ ipfs_swarm_port }}/quic-v1/webtransport
ipfs_private_addresses: Formatted like ipfs_public_addresses. Used for direct connection between IPFS nodes. May be useful when connecting over LAN on VPN.
ipfs_config_extra: Additional IPFS node config. The yaml structure is converted to json and sent to ipfs config. Default value is
```
ipfs_config_extra:
  Gateway.PublicGateways:
    localhost: null
```
This results in running
```
ipfs config --json Gateway.PublicGateways '{"localhost": null}'
```
which comes from https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/config.md#implicit-defaults-of-gatewaypublicgateways
