on-demand, secure, distributed storage – one step closer

Posted on 31 August 201527 August 2015 By antipaucity No Comments on on-demand, secure, distributed storage – one step closer

In follow-up to a post from 2013, and earlier this year, I’ve been working on a pointy-clicky deployable MooseFS+ownCloud atop encrypted file systems environment you can rent/buy as a service from my company. I’ve also – potentially – kicked-off a new project from Bitnami to add MooseFS to their apps list.

owncloud vs pydio – more diy cloud storage

Posted on 30 April 201523 April 2015 By antipaucity 2 Comments on owncloud vs pydio – more diy cloud storage

Last week I wrote a how-to on using Pydio as a front-end to a MooseFS distributed data storage cluster. The big complaint I had while writing that was that I wanted to use ownCloud, but it doesn’t Just Workâ„¢ on CentOS 6*. After finishing the tutorial, I decided to do some more digging – because…

why do i use digital ocean?

Posted on 21 April 201523 April 2015 By antipaucity No Comments on why do i use digital ocean?

Besides the fact that I have a referral code, I think Digital Ocean has done a great job of making an accessible, affordable, cloud environment for folks (like me) to spin-up and -down servers for trying new things out. You can’t beat an average of 55 seconds to get a new server. There are other…

create your own clustered cloud storage system with moosefs and pydio

Posted on 21 April 20153 September 2019 By antipaucity 2 Comments on create your own clustered cloud storage system with moosefs and pydio

This started-off as a how-to on installing ownCloud. But their own installation procedures don’t work for the 8.0x release and CentOS 6. Most of you know I’ve been interested in distributed / cloud storage for quite some time. And that I find MooseFS to be fascinating. As of 2.0, MooseFS comes in two flavors – the…

on-demand, secure, distributed storage

Posted on 7 October 20133 October 2013 By antipaucity 2 Comments on on-demand, secure, distributed storage

In follow-up to a friend’s blog post on TrueCrypt, and in conjunction with some previous investigation and interests I have had, I am wondering how difficult it would be to run a tool like MooseFS in conjunction with TrueCrypt to provide a Wuala-like service as a plausibly-deniable data haven a la Cryptonomicon.

#moosefs @smartfile – distributed, redundant file management (#olf2013 talk)

Posted on 18 September 201317 September 2013 By antipaucity 3 Comments on #moosefs @smartfile – distributed, redundant file management (#olf2013 talk)

As promised, some follow-up to OLF. Chris from SmartFile gave a great talk at OLF this year on MooseFS and how SmartFile leverages it to handle their rapidly-growing storage infrastructure. Specifically, he compared it to Ceph and GlusterFS. In short, MooseFS provides better configurability than either Ceph or GlusterFS, runs with lower overhead, and provides…

after “the cloud”

Posted on 19 July 201317 July 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on after “the cloud”

Cloud computing has been hyped for the last decade+. For those few of you haven’t heard of it and understand it, cloud computing is a computing-as-a-utility concept wherein compute (and storage) happens on systems which you may not own. That’s it. So – now that we’ve been offloading our storage, computing, and other tasks to…
