Anyone else interested in decentralized storage? I mentioned that I have a MooseFS pool, but I'm looking at poking at a few other distributed storage systems. Mostly curious if there are any that someone here is interested at looking into that I'm unaware of, I'm going to be looking at: SeaweedFS, Kubo (IPFS), Zookeeper, Bookkeeper, Bob, Tra, Venti, and MinIO. Ceph and GlusterFS do not look all that interesting to me as I'm looking at more JBOD solutions.
22:20
<&[R]>
Note: I'm specifically interested in network filesystems that can survive at least one server being down. Contrast something like NFS, CIFS/SMB, or diod where if the server you're talking to goes down, you can't access the files until it's back up.
22:21
<&[R]>
(Might not have mentioned MooseFS here)
22:27
<&ToxicFrog>
I have in the past poked at IPFS. It's not really a filesystem in the usual sense, though, it's a distributed content-addressed store. You can make it behave like a filesystem, kind of, but it's awkward.
22:28
<&[R]>
That's fine, venti isn't a FS either :p
22:30
<&ToxicFrog>
I'm not familiar with any of the others except Ceph and Gluster, neither of which I've actually used.
22:30
<&[R]>
Fair, I've been kind of hoovering links up to eventually look into
22:31
<&ToxicFrog>
(all of my previous experimentation with distributed storage has inevitably ended up back at either network drives on a central server using sshfs/nfs/smb, or full replication to all nodes using syncthing)

22:38
<&[R]>
Fair enough
22:38
<&[R]>
I was doing something like that for a while
22:38
<&[R]>
But it gets frustrating
22:56
<&ToxicFrog>
In my experience it works quite well, the biggest issue is that syncthing's multiuser support just doesn't exist
22:56
<&ToxicFrog>
So if you want to run multiple syncthings for different users on the same node, that's possible, but it's a pain in the ass
22:58
<&[R]>
Yeah, I was using syncthing for stuff at my last job, worked great, but that was only with one user

<&ToxicFrog>
You end up having to either run a separate daemon for each user listening on a different port, or run syncthing as root and don't let end users configure their shares at all
