WebFS

WebFS is a filesystem built on top of the web.

WebFS started after looking for a way to use IPFS as a Dropbox replacement, and not finding any really solid solutions. I also wanted to be able to fluidly move my data between traditional storage providers like Dropbox, MEGA, or Google Drive while testing the waters of new p2p storage systems, like Swarm or Filecoin.

If you have ever thought "x can probably be used as a file system", but didn't want to actually write the file system part, WebFS might be of benefit to you. You can probably turn x into a file system with WebFS by writing a new Store or Cell implementation.

Installation

Installs to $GOPATH/bin with make install

Getting Started

A simple volume spec using the filesystem for storage

{
    "cell": {
        "file": "CELL_DATA",
    },
    "store": {
        "fs": "BLOBS",
    }
}

This configuration will create and write to a file ./CELL_DATA and a directory ./BLOBS, so plan accordingly.

To serve the files over http

$ webfs http --root myvolume.webfs
  serving at http://127.0.0.1:7007

Examples

There are examples in the /examples directory. The examples assume you have the webfs executable on your $PATH.

You can also use go run ../../cmd/webfs instead of webfs if you don't want to set that up.
