inet256

3 123 1.3 Go

Identity Based Network API with 256-Bit Addresses

Project mention: Show HN: A version control system based on rsync | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-19

My approach to hosting with Got has been to make it easy and secure for users to host from any machine.
INET256 solves that problem nicely. If you have access to an INET256 network, then all you have to do is swap addresses and two Got instances can communicate.

Also, end-to-end encryption is table stakes. Any data that leaves the user needs to be encrypted in transit, and if it hangs around away from the user, at rest.

Project mention: MinIO HA and distributed setup on VMs | /r/minio | 2023-01-03

Once you have the setup, you can benchmark with https://github.com/minio/nperf and https://github.com/minio/dperf and if you really want to stress test you can use https://github.com/minio/warp. If those numbers are acceptable for your use case, you can move forward assuming you have some ability to predict / prepare for traffic patterns to ramp up in the future.
