Why is @onidel not in your signature
MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
moosefs can do that https://github.com/moosefs/moosefs
why @emgh ?
How simple it is to setup? I thought about doing the same, got like 30 VPS's.
Latency gonna be big sucky sucky but I don't care.
I also thought about seaweedfs but pain to setup and uses a shiton of memory.
GlusterFS is an option too.
Sorry sorry I’ll fix it
Maybe worth doing like US cluster, EU cluster and APAC cluster.
Should not suck so much then.
I'm afraid it's pretty complex, lots of moving parts... Though, once you get it to work, it's pretty solid. And it does work over WAN, at least it did several years ago when I last ran it. But take good care of the security, because it wasn't meant to be run that way. Also, I don't think that anything below 2 GB RAM is suitable, and depending on the number of files you have, your master server (which keeps all the metadata) might need much more.
Something like this would work:
BUT
You are effectively managing a RAID system by hand.
It would quickly become a nightmare to manage.
When I did some research about that, there was a lot work done by projects and start-ups about 10-15 years ago.
We know now that none of them succeeded.
But maybe with 10G becoming more available, IPv6 to reduce latency and whatnot, it will be worth to give another shot.
It looks as complex as glusterfs and seaweedfs.
Well, so what is the best option?
Yea I am aware that you need to run a VPN of some sort.
Awesome @kuroit
Picked one.
I see people posting invoice numbers, is there something else attached to these offers?
Good that you mention seaweedfs, I've also tested it briefly. It is good for what it has been made for, millions of small files. MooseFS would not work well in such an environment. It prefers (and was built for) much bigger files, which it chunks in IIRC 64MB files and then takes care of redundancy.
I've also heard about https://github.com/cubefs/cubefs but have never had time to try it, would appreciate if anybody can share any experience about that one.
Yeah, all those network FS are designed for entreprise grade infrastructure, so pretty complex to deploy.
You will also often need jumbo frames, metadata servers, ...
I remember looking at MooseFS but I dismissed it, Do not remeber why, but I quickly found this recent Reddit thread. And if you look at the comments, well...
Considering seaweedfs is probably the easiest to setup.
However as you said, only usable for smol files.
I already managed to make it crash a few times since upload large files cost you about equal memory usage.
So either seaweedfs for cluster optimized for small files or glusterfs/moosefs for bigger ones.
Dedicated server ... $8.88/yr

I think only @DataIdeas-Josh can do it with their Rpi Zero...
cmon drop it like its hot.
where is @host_c today?
Spent all IPv4, gone fishin'...
Trying to look at which minion underperformed and need to be removed
Setting up more storage for LET/LES.
I'm up to 3 Dedicated, 7 VPS from this thread. FYI scrolling back through flash deals and.............. Some of them have been back in stock. (Guessing from unpaid invoice removal)
I forgor about this one.
https://github.com/Ne00n/seaweed-spawner-3000
However its not really decentralized, should be able to grow a cluster at least though.
Can you point me to a storage one? 😁
I think I got the last VPS Hornet Revision 2.0 - Storage 1TB - I125 from Host-c
but I know i clicked others that were in stock, just don't want to go back pages LOL
Servarica, and LevelOneServers have some good yearly prices for storage vps's over in their threads.
...
Oh no! I found that when my browser refreshed to another page, it was also at the moment when the "invoice removed" notification was sent. I saw that it was Host_C's IPv6 1TB box. Then I went to look for a discount code, but by the time I entered it, it was out of stock.
hmmm yea dc and rack options, lit.
So you can just set the default to put your files in 2 different datacenters.
