I am running ipfs-cluster and would like to disable pinning on my network’s trusted peers. In other words, pin content on follower peers only.
Is this supported?
I do see the pin_only_on_trusted_peers setting in the ipfs-cluster config. However, what I want is the inverse: pin_only_on_untrusted_peers.
I’ve also come across similar questions (example) where the advice given is to manually place pins through a combination of the --allocations and --replication-factor flags. In my case the network is so large, this approach is impractical.
A quick workaround is to set MaxStorage in the Kubo configuration in the trusted peers to 0. That will put them last in the priority list when deciding allocations.
