Peergos VS upspin

G'day mempko, I remember firestr! Very nice! You might remember around the same time (2013) I started Peergos. We're still working on it!

https://peergos.org

I'm looking for the same. Open source, self hosted, and end-to-end encrypted.

I haven't found anything that really does all of this, but it seems like Cryptpad[0] and Peergos[1] are viable platforms upon which something like this could be built.

Except for encryption, Atomic Data[2] seems like a really cool platform to build this on.

AWS SDK is huge yes, but you can implement an S3 client in 300 lines of Java.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Peergos - https://peergos.org

A good Dropbox alternative is Peergos (founder here). Peergos is an E2EE P2P storage, sharing and application protocol. Fully open source, including the server, self-hostable, no VCs.

You can do that with peergos [1]- mount a peergos folder locally using FUSE. Or login to the web interface and share easily and privately.

Sad. As a fan of Plan 9 myself it’s somewhat expected. The ideas are strong but there’s something about it all not quite catching on.

I regularly referred others to Upspin’s source tree [1] if they wondered about larger systems written in Go but weren’t too big and gross like Kubernetes.

Super intriguing. Thanks for sharing!

It reminds me a bit of an early Go project called Upspin [1]. And also a bit of Solid [2]. Did you get any inspiration from them?

What excites me about your project is that you're addressing the elephant in the room when it comes to data sovereignty (~nobody wants to self-host a personal database but their personal devices aren't publicly accessible) in an elegant way.

By storing the data on my personal device and (presumably?) paying for a managed relay (and maybe an encrypted backup), I can keep my data in my physical possession, but I won't have to host anything on my own. Is that the idea?

There are a few Go projects meant to be learned from:

- https://github.com/pion/opus for to learn audio

- https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf for overall production quality

- https://github.com/upspin/upspin difficult to explain, personally I'm not a fan of the errors

You could also take a look at some real-world open-source projects. I like upspin for its idiomatic approach.

For example, Rob Pike's upspin places all its validations in the separate package. Do you agree with that approach? Which yet proven options there are?

Just a few projects that could perhaps interest you in terms of design of your own solution :
