You CAN have replication between client and server-side orbitDBs so long as you nest your IPFS node
inside of a node.js script, and you connect both nodes manually. You won't have to jump through these
hurdles if any of the following conditions are met. This should happen in a near-future version of
either OrbitDB or js-ipfs:
1. js-ipfs implements DHT
2. js-ipfs implements Circuit Relay
3. OrbitDB implements REST API support
