Peergos, the foss p2p e2ee cloud storage thing with an app ecosystem. check it out
let me save you the hassles of self-hosting nextcloud 😂 however it's a pretty small company so don't be surprised that hosting on their stuff is overpriced. nextcloud has free open servers, this doesn't. then again nextcloud's encryption is more fake than matrix

How is this FOSS if its more expensive than Nextcloud?

Edit nvm I found it

Self hostable - A user should be able to easily run Peergos on a machine in their home and get their own Peergos storage space, and social communication platform from it

I wrote it's self-hostable in the header, you don't have to narrate your total lack of reading comprehension to me

No, you didn't. You said that self-hosting nextcloud is a pain in the ass.

and what follows from that, don't self-host at all? the link is part of the context of the statement, you don't get points for jumping into the replies without even reading to say something pointless

anyone who has basic familiarity with the topic or utilizes the link I provided would be able to understand I am talking about Peergos as a self-hosting solution.

I'm inducing the realization that clicking the link would have been less effort than saying inane shit, it's traditional

Actually, I had utilized the link, thank you. I just mostly found their promotional hosting services, and nothing of self host. A lot of times people post links to projects pages on GH and that's it, so after a minute I wanted to chime in.

THEN buried on their page I found it and wanted to clarify my comment for anyone else who might be looking for the info themselves...

Now we got your douchey self in the comments being, well, a douche, and instead of maybe fixing your link to go straight for the self-host section or anything useful, you decide to just be a dick as if that's any benefit...

A more clear and concise post would say something like: While this company offers paid (and slightly more expensive) hosted solutions like Nextcloud, you also have the option to self -host and view the files here github.com/peergos/peergos
It offers E2EE over a P2P network, which is better than NC too.

And that's it folks.

The immutable data store is provided by IPFS and allows anyone authorised to retrieve cipher text from its hash through any Peergos node


Built on top of IPFS. Finally something useful built with IPFS. Although that means it's going to require a virtual filesystem to access stuff. Reading on, yes that's WebDAV.

Interesting. It also uses TOR for transmitting share requests.

I'm... Intrigued, but IPFS is my biggest problem. Ever time it was used on my system it was a massive resource hog. It would kill a phone battery right quick.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. This will end up I'm my bookmarks for when there's time to test something again. If you have a github account,do add this to one of those "awesome IPFS" lists floating around. It could help.

Cheers

You're right that ipfs is normally very resource hungry and slow. That's why we wrote our own implementation which used much less bandwidth and cpu and is faster (github.com/peergos/nabu). Be aware that we don't use Tor yet (see warning at beginning of book - book.peergos.org/).

Does nabu support mounting? I never got ipfs mount nor ipns mount to work. I'd like to be able to nabu mount /mount/path and see everything that was downloaded with nabu in it. Is that possible?
