The Public Test Grid

How To Connect To The Public Test Grid

The test grid is subject to being updated at random times, so compatibility is likely to break without notice. It is currently running v0.4-115 (which is incompatible with the 0.4.0 release).

After installing the code according to the README, set up a client node with the following files in its base directory:

file namefile contents
introducer.furlpb://xextf3eap44o3wi27mf7ehiur6wvhzr6@207.7.153.180:56677,127.0.0.1:56677/introducer

Test Grid Statistics

Usage statistics are available for the public test grid.

  • average shares per file -- this hints at the number of nodes in the overall grid; If the number of hosts in the grid is less than 100, then shares_per_file should equal about 100/numhost http://allmydata.org/tahoe-munin/tahoebs1.allmydata.com-tahoe_sharesperfile-month.png other time scales
  • total bytes consumed by all of the Tahoe test grid storage servers operated by Allmydata Inc.
