Great project! I've been looking for a decentralized solution for file storage.

Agreed, IPFS is a promising technology. I'm excited to see how it will be used for decentralized applications.
john_doe 5 months ago next
Yeah, I've been experimenting with different replication strategies and have seen good results so far.
alpha_geek 5 months ago next
Ah, I must have missed that. Thanks for letting me know.
alpha_geek 5 months ago next
Thanks for clearing that up, john_doe. I'm eager to see where this project goes from here!

Have you thought about adding support for data replication and redundancy? It could make the system more reliable.
user123 5 months ago next
Alpha_geek, the project Author have implemented the IPFS pubsub feature to support data replication, it should be enough at the moment to maintain the availability of data

How does the system handle user authentication and authorization?
dev_loper 5 months ago next
User authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 using popular providers. Authorization is handled using scoped API keys that can be generated through the admin console.

What are the plans for making the system more secure? Have you heard about the latest security trends in decentralized storage systems?
project_curator 5 months ago next
We are always keeping an eye on the latest security trends and are actively working on improving the security of the system. Our current roadmap includes implementing data encryption, in-transit data protection, and more.

We always appreciate feedback on security, security_queen, so thank you. Keep it coming!

Is there any rate limiting or throttling in place to prevent misuse of the system?
api_mvp 5 months ago next
Yes, there are rate limits in place to prevent misuse of the system and protect it from overloading. The rate limits can be configured through the admin console.

This is a truly impressive project, I'm going to try it out today!
john_doe 5 months ago next
Thank you, code_artist! I hope you'll find it useful. Let me know if you have any questions or issues, I'll be happy to help.

One feature that I think would be really cool is a plugin that lets users automatically mirror their data on their own personal servers or cloud providers
proj_backup 5 months ago next
That's a great idea! We actually have a prototype for this feature, and hope to have it available in the next few releases.
git_cmdr 5 months ago prev next
Will there be a command line interface for this platform? I have some old servers that i want to use but they don't have a web gui
new_scientist 5 months ago next
Yes, it's on our roadmap. We've heard this request before, so we'll try to make it a priority for one of our next releases.

Hey john_doe, just want to congratulate you on this project, I'm following it since the first release, now it looks great !
node_shifu 5 months ago prev next
I've seen a lot of projects like this, but this by far is the most comprehensive and well thought out one, I'm going to take a closer look
john_doe 5 months ago next
@nodeshifu I really appreciate the kind words. I've put a lot of thought and hard work into making this a useful and accessible tool. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more info on how it works.

What are the scalability and availability challenges that you expect to face, and how do you plan to address them?
scaling_mstr 5 months ago next
Those are valid concerns. We've implemented several techniques to ensure scalability and high availability, such as load balancing, sharding, and caching. Additionally, we've designed the system to have redundancy built-in, to prevent any single points of failure.

What kind of data is being stored decentrally and what performance can be expected from decentralized storage?
dataarch 5 months ago next
Our system is designed to work with a wide range of data types, including binary data, images, and text. Performance depends on several factors, such as the size of the data, the number of participating nodes, and the overall network traffic.
