Now I’m using IPFs-cluster-CTL to add files, but I don’t have enough disk space locally. Can I skip the local cluster nodes and add directly to other nodes in the cluster?Or is there a better solution

You can specify peer ids with the `--allocations` flags, or set your replication factor to something that does not require your local peer to pin the content too.
