We have identified that the main problem is linked with the DHT service,
|

and proposed some improvements (disabling the DHT server, keeping an in-memory index of the blocks, using the S3 back-end only for user data).

It is possible to modify Peergos to make it work without IPFS.

we might have a great proof of concept of an end-to-end encrypted "cloud storage" over Garage.

From an IPFS design perspective, it seems however that the numerous small blocks handled by the protocol
|
||||
do not map trivially to efficient use of the S3 API, and thus could be a limiting factor to any optimization work.

This choice makes sense for us as we want to reduce the ecological impact of our services

by deploying less servers, that use less energy, and that are renewed less frequently.

After discussing with Peergos maintainers, we identified that it is possible to run Peergos without IPFS.
|
||||
With some optimizations on the block size, we envision great synergies between Garage and Peergos that could lead to
|
||||
an efficient and lightweight end-to-end encrypted "cloud storage" platform.

*We are also aware of the existence of many other software projects for file sharing
|
||||
such as Nextcloud, Owncloud, Owncloud Infinite Scale, Seafile, Filestash, Pydio, SOLID, Remote Storage, etc.
|
||||
Many of these could be connected to an S3 back-end such as Garage.
|
||||
We might even try some of them in future blog posts, so stay tuned!*
