Your backup is someone else's computer. What if it were everyone's?

Описание и применение

RedundaNet – это сеть совместного хранения, где резервные копии распределяются по участникам, шифруются на клиенте и кодируются для надёжности. Это обеспечивает контроль над данными, географическое распределение и автономию от облачных провайдеров.

Задача

Relying on commercial cloud backups gives limited control over redundancy, geographic distribution, privacy, sovereignty, and resilience to provider changes.

Результат

RedundaNet provides a self‑managed, verifiable, geographically distributed backup network that users can run on spare hardware, ensuring privacy, sovereignty, and resilience without relying on a single provider.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Generate a GPG key and submit its fingerprint to the network join form.
• 2. A bot verifies the key and a maintainer merges a pull request adding the member to the Git repo.
• 3. The node software (Dockerized) starts with one configuration file and automatically updates and self‑heals.
• 4. Files placed on the node’s share are encrypted and erasure‑coded by Tahoe‑LAFS and replicated across the mesh VPN to other nodes.
• 5. The public status page continuously counts existing copies and alerts on missing replicas.
• 6. Members can fork the repository, edit membership and network name, and run an independent private storage commons.

Доказательства

RedundaNet has a public status page that counts, continuously, how many copies of every stored object actually exist on distinct machines.

The difference is where encryption happens. If your files are encrypted on your own device before they leave it, and the key never leaves with them...
