From a client perspective the Tardigrade network has high availability (HA) by design because a piece is spread across several nodes. But on SNO side, the architecture is single node, without HA. If a node dies, Tardigrade customers are not affected but the SNO will be in trouble by being disqualif…

[image] Alexey: Why the customers should trust to node, which managed to lost their data? It doesn’t makes any sense. Customers should trust the Storj network, not the single node. Is the Storj network that makes sure customers data is safe, not the single node. When a node uploads a block, t…

I agree that customers should trust to the Tardigrade network, not a single node. I mean - your node can’t be trusted in the same range as more reliable nodes, which didn’t lost the data for the same amount of time. However, you got the point - failed node can’t be trusted anymore. The network wil…

Setting up your home setup for HA isn’t something that is very related to software… the main part is that you need double the hardware … because you want failover in case anything breaks. sure there are some later stage considerations, but aside from having nodes in multiple locations, setting up f…

So, I guess “if you can’t have perfection, there is no point in trying at all”? Here’s the problem - as far as I know, Storj requires uptime comparable to a datacenter (I have not seen the new uptime requirements, so I assume the 5 hours/month). Similar to a datacenter, I have some spare hardware a…

well its a new company, when they have lost customer data one day, their views will change… and they will want SNO’s to supply whatever data they can scrape back onto the network and pay them for it… disregarding parity data like that is like an standart raid array throwing out a drive because the …

[image] SSD vs HDD what is better? storagenode could figure out utilizing multiple identities on multiple locations depending on if it detects that other local storagenodes crashed… Single identity, shared DB (cluster), shared data (nfs, smb or ceph). If it was possible to load balance between…

couldn’t that actually just be extending the storj network function from the WAN / internet and into the LAN of the SNO, then its more of a identify administration and payment structure thing. The system already does all this… then the SNO would just only be paid for the systems that work and so lo…

[image] SGC: i could see something like that be made with minimal changes to anything… If it becomes possible to use a compiled node (instead of the docker image), I may even try to do that myself. I managed to improve the performance of my v2 nodes (by not using kfs) and I could always use t…

I guess the biggest point here is that this is a lot of effort for Storj Labs to implement for an incredibly small subset of SNOs. There are probably only a handful who are running large enough setups to really see any benefit out of this that it just isn’t worth it to develop.

[image] Pentium100: If it becomes possible to use a compiled node (instead of the docker image), I may even try to do that myself. I’m pretty sure there are people doing this (running a node compiled from source). There’s nothing magical about the Docker image, it just eases distribution and …
