Just got a notification from the feature tracker

ARM Version for Raspberry Pi and Pi2
Started → Completed

We just added an ARM tarball to our Download page: https://infinit.sh/download

Time to get some https://www.soyoustart.com/ie/server-storage/

On a serious note, Im gonna test it on my Raspberry Pi 2 soon.

  • Is this WAN software RAID? Or am I interpreting it incorrectly?

  • let see what is infinit.sh...

  • I'll repurpose my pi3 from rare htpc duty (just my parents)

    Tell me some cheapo orangepi board that can decode 1080p x264 10mbit and runs openelec.

    Didn't it get discontinued? Edit, no that was another product they discontinued.

  • Anyone has compared this with GlusterFS? Speed, stability and so on.

    Considering it as an alternative for production systems. Can it be mounted by other machines?

    Is it production ready?

    No. Infinit is still in alpha and will be considered production ready for its 1.0 release.

  • Why not Ceph?

    For me the winning point is built-in transit encryption.

    Thanks, that page is helpful. Of course you could use an encrypted tunnel for Ceph's communication. I'll look further into the other differences. I see though that Infinit tries to be decentralized in that the servers can be anywhere on the internet. Ceph might also be able to do that but I think of it as being mostly intended for servers on a fast LAN, maybe even in the same rack.

    What kind of tests are you interested in? I played with it but I don't use it in production systems, there are still too many bugs.

    EDIT: there is a docker image available if you want to do a quick test (not for ARM though) - https://hub.docker.com/r/mefyl/infinit/

  • It would be interesting to see if they've solved the performance issues over WAN's for the early versions.

    Some examples? I am interested in using it as a quick and dirty shared file volume for config files for various containers across the swarm (think distributed key store but instead of key-values, files)

  • dragon2611 said: It would be interesting to see if they've solved the performance issues over WAN's for the early versions.

    IIRC, Inifinit was designed for LANs. Also it used UDP, so I would expect it to be sensitive to latency and network blips in a WAN setting.

    Dropbox? Separate shared folders for isolation.

    I'm talking about docker containers and volume plugins.
