Running websocket-relay doesn't work if you already have IPFS running

ipvm-wg / homestar

Homestar is the individual node that makes up the Everywhere Computer network (similar to how IPFS Kubo, Iroh, Nabu, or other implementation nodes make up the IPFS network). It's written in Rust and is designed for performance and composability.

Running websocket-relay doesn't work if you already have IPFS running #348

I have IPFS Desktop running which runs a kubo instance locally

If I have kubo running and run the cargo run -- start -c config/settings.toml command as listed in examples/websocket-relay it doesn't work.

Recommendation:

if we're going to puppet kubo like this we should use the not-default-port
future: config option for people to run a binary of their choice / port of their choice (and even with examples, I'd rather us start leaning into iroh here)

@bmann future is more open. We'll be running a mixture of iroh and libp2p internally (they just offer different things that we need). IPFS is not a hard requirement for homestar, it just acts as a registry for the example.
