Explore and document usage of IPFS cluster for FFS Hot Storage.

Mayeu commented 2 years ago

Hello 👋

I'm exploring powergate, and I'm curious to know why using an IPFS cluster for FFS would require specific development. From the IPFS cluster documentation, I see that:

A drop-in to any IPFS integration: each cluster peer provides an additional IPFS proxy API which performs cluster actions but behaves exactly like the IPFS daemon’s API does.

Which I interpret as "there is no difference at all between a single node or a cluster", and thus I'm surprised that FFS would require something specific to make it work.
