Garage, our self-hosted distributed object storage solution
Hello, quick question: from what i understand since it&#x27;s based on CRDTs it means any server in the cluster may save something to the storage, that gets replicated elsewhere.<p>That&#x27;s fine when there is absolute trust between the server operators, but am i correct to assume it&#x27;s not the same threat model as encrypted&#x2F;signed backups pushed to some friends lending storage space for you (who could corrupt your backup but can&#x27;t corrupt your working data)?<p>If my understanding is correct, maybe your homepage should outline the threat model more clearly (i.e. a single trusted operator for the whole cluster) and point to other solutions like TAHOE-LAFS for other use-cases.<p>Congratulations on doing selfhosting with friends, that&#x27;s pretty cool! Do you have any idea if some hosting cooperatives (CHATONS) or ISPs (FFDN) have practical use-cases in mind? They already have many physical locations and rather good bandwidth, but i personally can&#x27;t think of an interesting idea.
