Learn how to use Dedicated Gateway plugins to supercharge your IPFS delivery system
Dedicated Gateways are crucial for retrieving and delivering content on IPFS, but there are times you may need additonal functionality. Gateway Plugins serve that purpose, anything from hot swapping CIDs to delivering signatures and more!
To install a plugin navigate to the Plugins Marketplace tab on the right side.
Once there you can find the plugin you want to install and click “Install.” This will bring up a drop down of your Dedicated Gateways to choose which the plugin is installed to.
Once installed you can confirm its there by going to the “My Plugins” tab.
To uninstall a plug from the API you can use the /ipfs/gateway_plugins/:gateway_id/plugin/:plugin_id endpoint, where the gateway_id is the target gateway and the plugin_id is the target plugin to uninstall.
