Awesome! Maybe also add:
By default, the gateway is only accessible locally. To expose it to other computers
in the network, use 0.0.0.0 as the ip address:
ipfs config Addresses.Gateway /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8080
The API address can be changed the same way:
ipfs config Addresses.API /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/5002
Be careful if you expose the API. It is a security risk, as anyone could use control
your node remotely. If you need to control the node remotely, make sure to protect
the port as you would other services or database (firewall, authenticated proxy, etc).
i took @jbenet's suggestion, but reorganised it a bit to *not* suggest what is actually warned against later. :)
