Welcome to Allmydata "Tahoe"

The ​Allmydata "Tahoe" project is a scalable, distributed, fault-tolerant filestore, distributed under a free-software license.

The basic idea is that the data in this filesystem is spread over all participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover the data even if a majority of the nodes are no longer available.

The README and the release notes​ have a lot more detail.

Tahoe resources

• The code is available via darcs by running the following command:

  darcs get http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk
  

• Other related libraries are available in ​http://allmydata.org/source/
• ​Buildbot: current build status
• ???: current code coverage
• Graph of code coverage
• documentation
• to install debian packages for etch, dapper, edgy, or feisty, add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list, replacing the word DIST with etch, dapper, edgy, or feisty as appropriate:

  deb http://allmydata.org/debian/  DIST  main tahoe
  deb-src http://allmydata.org/debian/  DIST  main tahoe
  

  Then update and install the allmydata-tahoe package. These packages are generated each time the code is changed, and represent the most up-to-date (read "unstable") version available. The usual warnings about no guarantees apply: it might cause your computer to catch fire, might steal your dog, etc.
  • we need to set up an etch buildslave, as we don't currently have one running
• TahoeIssues? contains some discussion, open issues, and more docs
