Censorship-resistant, tamper-proof and privacy compliant cloud solution, open-source, fully decentralized and built on top of InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)

hexa is a fully decentralized and open-source cloud solution which replace traditional cloud providers having centralized governance, cumbersome infrastructure, inadequate security and privacy measures with users datasets.

hexa is build on top of IPFS and inherits all the features of Blockchain Technology to emerge as an immutable, censorship-resistant, tamper-proof and privacy complient with user dataset.

hexa integrat IPFS Core powered by Filecoin to enable users to store, manage and share their datas in a decentralized way. Few of the core value propositions are:

• Increased User Adoption: Providing a smooth and intuitive process with seamless user experience to store, manage and share datas in a decentralized way will increase the adoption of IPFS and Filecoin.

• Real-world utility: hexa provide a real-world utility for censorship-resistant, tamper-proof and privacy complient cloud solution by providing multi services composition that allow users to manage datas with total privacy and security controls of access by using Encryption and Decryption technologies to increase data acces security.

• IFPS Core Browser implementation of the IPFS protocol to manage files storage and retrieval to IPFS network
• Pinata Default pinning CID service to pin files to IPFS network
• Web3.storage Alternative pinning CID service available and configurable with user API Key
• Ceramic Decentralized database to manage storage metadata files and user profile data
• XMTP Decentralized messaging service to manage in app notifications and messaging
• Ceramic 3id Connect Decentralized authentication service to manage user identity and Cryptography Access Control
• Ethersjs Ethereum SDK to manage Web3 wallet connection and account management
• Magic.link SDK to onboard users to web3 apps
• Covalent Unified API bringing visibility to billions Web3 data points
• Valist Software distribution tool to manage releases and updates hosted on IPFS

hexa is a web application that can be used in any modern browser.

You can also install hexa as a desktop application using Progressive Web App (PWA) technology by click install icon from browser url section or from options section of your browser. You can find more informations about PWA installation and specification here.

• Clone the hexa repository
• Install dependencies using NodeJS and NPM
• Install Nx Workspace CLI to manage workspace project
• Provide environment variables in .env file (see Environment Variables section)
• Run developpment server using nx serve command will open the hexa application in the browser
• This project was generated using Nx Workspace.

• Run nx build:browser to build the hexa application for the browser as PWA.

The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

hexa is deployed automatically using Github Actions. Every commit to the main branch will trigger a new deployment.

• Run npm run docs:browser to generate the appplication documentation

The documentation will be generate in the dist/ directory. Open the dist/compodoc/browser/index.html file in browser to see the documentation as website.

Environment variables are set in the .env file in the root of the project. The following file .env.example at the root of the project contains the list of environment variables used in the project with example values.

Environment variables can be update for each mode. Go to the environment folder and update the environment.{MODE}.ts file to change the environment variables for the desired mode.
