Hi there!
I saw that Storj has a couple of open sourced repositories at GitHub.
One thing I’d like to know: is there is any part of the whole infrastructure which is not open sourced? If so why and would it be open sourced in the future?
My main question is: could I run my own Storj network if I wanted to? If so, is there any documentation for that?
Thanks!
Hey, @jonatasbaldin all of the code that is technically needed to run your own network is open source. This includes the code for each of the main 3 actors of the network; Satellite, Node, Uplink. You can find most of that code in our main repo on Github (GitHub - storj/storj: Ongoing Storj v3 development. Decentralized cloud object storage that is aff). We do have a couple of private repos for auxiliary tools that we use; for example one of these auxiliary tools makes it easier for us to do Storage Node Payouts.
To your main question; yes you can absolutely run your own network! we don’t have a ton of documentation on running satellites but the link @keleffew posted before is the best starting place. We do have the concept of community ran satellites and we believe that’s going to become much more prominent in the future.
