Fairdrive

Where innovation, interoperability and decentralization unite in the name of fair data. Fairdrive is a community-driven initiative with the mission to empower freedom. By enabling decentralized storage, developers can create and build interoperable, decentralized and open-sourced dApps so users can reclaim their privacy, own their data and control their digital identity.

What is Fairdrive

Fairdrive is a dApp that enables decentralized storage on Swarm. It consists of a typical "Drive" interface with files and folders, and a BZZ wallet to manage token balances and keypairs. Under the hood, FairOS is running a filesystem on top of Ethereum Swarm. Fairdrive Protocol is used to communicate with FairOS.

How does it work

Fairdrive works very similar to Google Drive or Dropbox, yet with some big differences:

• Data is encrypted out of the box
• Data is owned by the user only
• Data is stored on a decentralized Incentivised network
• Only the user has access to this data and thus controls how data is used
• The user gets the revenue of their data

Development

Devnet deployment: https://app.fairdrive.dev.fairdatasociety.org/ Mainnet deployment: https://app.fairdrive.fairdatasociety.org/

Demo: http://fairdrive.fairdatasociety.org/

Run locally with local API:

Ensure that you have Docker, Git and wget installed. Verify that ports 3000, 1633, 1634, 1635 are available.

1. One-liner for installing Fairdrive (Bee node, FairOS and Fairdrive) extracted from this repo: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fairDataSociety/fairdrive-theapp/master/docker-compose.yml
2. docker compose up
3. open http://localhost:9090 to check that FairOS is running successfully.
4. open http://localhost:3000 to view and use Fairdrive in the browser.

How to fund your node with test tokens?

• Copy wallet from YOUR logs:
  • open docker and bee-1_1.
  • Your address should be at the start of the docker terminal, beside “using ethereum address”
• Open official SWARM faucet: https://discord.com/channels/799027393297514537/841664915218628619 to fund your wallet with 10 gBZZ + 0.5 gETH
  • For gBZZ: Request in any channel “/faucet sprinkle + your address”
  • For gETH: https://faucet.goerli.mudit.blog/

If this process takes some time - which it may - please run "docker compose up" again.

Wait for bee to deploy chequebook and this message appears "fairos_1 | time="2021-07-10T19:30:11Z" level=info msg="fairOS-dfs API server listening on port: 9090""

Open http://localhost:9090 in your browser and you can see a few lines with information about FairOS. These lines will appear only after chequebook deployment.
