To use pinning service you shall use all of those: remote_service_name, remote_service_endpoint and remote_service_key.

To publish to IPNS you shall define both publish_key_name and publish_key_value.

To unpin old CID you shall define remote_unpin_old_cid and also have to publish.

publish_key_value is a content of key.pem got by running the command:

ipfs key export --format=pem-pkcs8-cleartext <KEY-NAME>

Default key name is self.

NOTE: During setting the secret, remember to remove header and footer (----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY---- and ----END PRIVATE KEY----).

Your content's IPFS content identifier e.g.
