+When used in conjunction with @option{--cache}, instruct @command{guix

+distributed data store} in addition to HTTP.

+As of version @value{VERSION}, IPFS support is experimental.  You're welcome

+
+The IPFS HTTP interface must be reachable at @var{gateway}, by default
+@code{localhost:5001}.  To get it up and running, it is usually enough to
+install IPFS and start the IPFS daemon:
+
+@example
+$ guix package -i go-ipfs
+$ ipfs init
+$ ipfs daemon
+@end example
+
+For more information on how to get started with IPFS, please refer to the
+@uref{https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/usage/, IPFS documentation}.

 When @option{--cache} is used, request the allocation of @var{N} worker
 threads to ``bake'' archives.
