▲ 17 ▼ Would you use a Decentralised file system? (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by Valmond@lemmy.world to c/decentralization@lemmy.world 34 comments fedilink hide all child comments How could a robust decentralised file system be useful? Would you use one if one was available? If so, to what use (storing, sharing, building apps on top of it, ...)? If not, are there some specific reasons like difficulty to set up, legal, you already use one, or other? I'm making one and it is fully functional but adoption is not here yet so I'm trying to figure out why. Cheers Edit: I'm referring to a decentralised online storage, accessible from anywhere.

I've been working on maintaining the server more than testing the client. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) It's really simple to set up if I understood correctly, is it maintenance heavy or is it just like you need to upgrade it sometimes? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) So it is pretty simple to set up but not if you containerize it like I have I've decided to put it in a container because it's still beta and to do that you have to give it persistent storage and route the ports correctly and all that stuff and people do seem to have trouble with that. Regardless, I wanted to do something to support the project and that seemed like a pretty good way to do it and it took some effort but not a whole lot and I learned a few things in the process so it was fun. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 1 year ago Definitely nice of you! Yeah the port forwarding seems to be the tricky part for everyone. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 point 1 year ago I applied for the beta ages ago, maybe it hasn't opened up again yet. Maybe it's full. permalink fedilink source parent
