IPFS Dedicated Gateways: Hosting a Resume or Portfolio
Learn how to use an IPFS dedicated gateway to host a static webpage such as a resume or portfolio.
Filebase IPFS dedicated gateways can be configured to serve a single IPFS CID at the root of the gateway. This means that instead of needing to specify the IPFS CID in the gateway URL, by default the URL will host the configured CID.
For example, when using an IPFS gateway, the format typically follows:
When using a dedicated gateway with a root CID, the path and CID fields are not required to return the root CID. A dedicated gateway through Filebase will use the following domain structure:
https://gatewayname.myfilebase.comIf a root CID is set, this single URL can be shared to distribute the stored CID’s content.
In this tutorial, we’ll use this feature to host a static HTML file that contains resume or portfolio information. Then, this URL can be distributed to share your resume using a human-readable, easy-to-remember URL.

Filebase IPFS Dedicated Gateways are a feature only available to paid users. They are not available for users on the free tier.
Gateway names are subject to the same naming restrictions as bucket names. All gateway names must be lowercase, between 3-63 characters, and must be unique.
Since we’ll be hosting a resume with this gateway, choosing something that reflects your name or professional title may be ideal.
You can create a new IPFS bucket by clicking ‘Create Bucket, or select an existing bucket.
To upload a file, select 'Upload', then select 'File' from the options.
