OpenCloud #4

A DIY at-home cloud made entirely from open-source code. Why?

At home cloud technology is expensive, even the cheapest home cloud will fetch for $150 easily All at home clouds rely on third-party connection software (who knows what actually happens to your data) There is a definite need for off-device file saving, but many people don't trust big-name companies with their data

Thoughts?

I've used this application before, which essentially meets all those requirements: https://owncloud.org/features/

It already exists, but I don't think that means we can't do it as a project.

SeaweedFS is another alternative.

GitFS is an alternative built on top of git. I had some trouble getting it working, but I really like the idea of using Git to synchronize.

Likewise with git-annex-assistant.

Merkle Trees are an interesting way to compare two binary data files for differences so that you only have to send the updated data to the server.
