= About = The volunteergrid is a tahoe storage grid from users for users. Contrary to the TestGrid–which may be flushed at any time for development/testing reasons–the volunteergrid is meant as a stable alternative to the commercial [http://allmydata.com/ allmydata.com grid]. It was [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001248.html proposed by Eugene L.] in February 2009 and an introducer [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001341.html was set up] by Zooko after the idea received a fair amount of praise. This introducer unfortunately died when nooxie's upgrade went wrong. A [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-December/003290.html new, more resilient, introducer] was implemented by [mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch François Deppierraz] in December 2009. There are usually between 10 and 15 active server nodes, but new nodes are always welcome. = Setting up a volunteergrid (storage) node = * Follow the [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/quickstart.html install instructions] * If your storage server is behind a firewall/NAT, please set up port forwarding to your ''tub.port'' and point ''tub.location'' to your external IP address (see [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/configuration.txt configuration]). * Set your introducer.furl to {{{ #!html

Please inform us on the mailing list or ping us on IRC. * Please provide at least as much space as you use. (Don't forget to consider the redundancy factor: If you upload 1 GB of data, the grid will receive 3.33 GB of encoded data (3-of-10 encoding = 10/3 x file size = 3.33 x file size).) = Links = * [http://webcontent.osm.lab.rfc822.org/tahoe/ Map of servers and people involved with the volunteergrid] * [http://tahoe.ctrlaltdel.ch:8123/ Introducer web interface] * [http://secorp.net:8126 Public web interface (secorp.net)] provided by Peter S. * [http://volunteergrid.org Public web interface (volunteergrid.org)] provided by David T. = Servers = == Introducer == The introducer is currently run by [mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch François Deppierraz] on ''tahoe.ctrlaltdel.ch'', an OpenVZ VE running under Debian lenny. In the unfortunate case where the current introducer disappear, the following people should be able to bring it back into life: Zooko, Brian Warner and David T.
