feat: revamped /install landing

lidel · lidel · commit b18b62021bf9 · 2024-10-03T18:09:24.000+02:00
Wanted to add Rainbow and Someguy to /install page, but realized the
page was not very intuitive, so I've separated it into three sections:

1. User-Friendly Options
2. Command-Line &amp; Infrastructure Tools
3. Software Development

Updated some links and applied minor fixes along the way.

 IPFS is a collection of protocols, packages, and specifications that allow computers to send and receive data. Because of this, users can interact with and use IPFS in many different ways. A developer building network applications will use a different set of tools to interact with IPFS than someone who wants to store files on IPFS. Pick the one that best suits what you're here to do.

-If you want to install IPFS in a server environment and offer IPFS as a service, you should look at [IPFS Cluster](https://cluster.ipfs.io/) as a way to scale your IPFS deployment beyond a single IPFS daemon. IPFS Cluster provides data orchestration across a swarm of IPFS daemons by allocating, replicating, and tracking a global pin-set distributed among multiple peers. This makes it significantly easier to manage multiple IPFS nodes and ensure that data is available across an internal network.

 IPFS Cluster is a distributed application that works as a sidecar to IPFS peers, maintaining a global cluster pinset and intelligently allocating its items to the IPFS peers. This makes it significantly easier to manage multiple IPFS nodes and ensure that data is available across an internal network. IPFS Cluster powers large IPFS storage services like [nft.storage](https://nft.storage/) and [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/).

 To see if IPFS Cluster is suitable for your project, follow this quick start guide and spin up a local IPFS Cluster instance. At the end of this guide, you will have a solid understanding of how IPFS Cluster is set up and how to interact with it. To create a local cluster, complete the prerequisites. Then, follow the procedure.
