Question 1

How to deploy a static site to IPFS with ipfs-deploy?

Install via npm with 'npm install -g ipfs-deploy', then run 'ipd public/' where 'public/' is your static site directory; it automatically uploads to a pinning service and provides a public gateway link for testing.

Question 2

ipfs-deploy vs manual IPFS upload: which is better for beginners?

Question 4

Is ipfs-deploy free to use?

Accepted Answer

The tool itself is open-source and free, but it relies on external IPFS pinning services which may have costs or usage limits; it typically uses free tiers where available, so monitor service policies.
