This one looks better: https://github.com/maxogden/electron-packager
from ipfs-desktop.
We currently ship .exe for Windows (npm run dist-all
) but it would be nice if we would have a 'installer dialog' like Windows users are used to.
Or maybe nowadays with Win 8.1, Win 10 and their app store the convention is different. Is there some Windows users that can advise?

the electron package will build that installer dialog
from ipfs-desktop.
While I won't argue with a Windows Installer, it's kind of a weird set up
in the Windows world.
IPFS on Windows should run as a service, kind of like BitTorrent. However
right now, it is only available as a command line app. So what do we
bundle? If the installer runs IPFS as a service, then maybe we can set up a
shortcut to the "localhost" in a browser.
If we want IPFS as just a CLI tool, then we can use chocolatey.org and
build something that targets CLI users. Of course if we have the above
service installer, Chocolatey can run that installer as well.
I seem to recall that we had investigated a Windows service wrapper a few
months back. Did they ever get installed for setup?

some quick thoughts:

oh yeah? nice

Yeah, this repo (electron-app) makes a tray-hosted service. try it out!

Looked at the screenshots for all these and this process makes sense. Do we have these binaries built anywhere so that I can test them out? Or are we waiting for them to get built? (i.e.: does someone need help for Windows here?)

@gatesvp we need windows help! (could you stop by irc for a chat?)

Hello! I have created insttaller for windows: https://github.com/bogdoslav/ipfs-windows-installer
Firewall rules and windows start-up task created during install.
Please test and give a feedback.

Another piece of the puzzle: https://github.com/marcin212/ipfs-gui
It does not touch firewall, but provides basic GUI via tray icon:
