Welcome to kumbaya DIY cloud storage!

kumbaya is an open source, cooperative, distributed file system framework.

It allows you to store personal files in a secure, but decentralized way. The underlying technology leverages trackerless DHTs (kademlia), p2p storage systems (couchdb), and global identities (openid/oauth).

It is a system for secure, but not anonymous, remote file storage. You can securely store your files on untrusted nodes, but your repositories have to be associated with an ID in order to authenticate with each other for file replication.

Related/similar work include: diaspora, oneswarm, Stanford shark and Berkeley's xFS distributed cooperative file system.

It works by synchronizing your repositories, stored on computers that you have authorized, to create a network of replicas. It serves the following use cases:

• availability - cloud storage, offline access, accessing files from many devices
• risk management - remote, distributed, secure backups guard against disaster in one location and the loss of a device
