Hello!
I recently had issues with my self-hosted instance of Nextcloud so I started looking for an alternative to it.
I would like something that could allow me to make a local network of shared files between devices I choose, if that makes any sense.
I stumbled upon Syncthing but it doesen’t seem what I had in mind: I understand that it replicates folders between devices, but I am looking for a way to distribuite files between machines. Again, like Nextcloud but without a central server to rely to.
Do you know if something of that sort exists?
Or if you have any other solution?
Thank you.
P.S. I am posting it here because it seems like some sort of self-hosting, but maybe I will cross-post it to the decentralized comunity.
The closest thing to what you’re describing is https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs
However they’re right now in the middle of a Python 2 to Python 3 port, have to keep an eye on github for a new release.
Here’s a good video on the technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xdEyquCl2I
Ok I’ll take a look at it. Thanks!
They need a Python to Rust port. :(
Some of the underlying libaries are in C, but yes; there was some discussion on their IRC about potentially using Rust instead.
