Quartermaster
an I2P Distributed File Store
STATUS
Intro
Quartermaster, or Q for short, is a distributed file storage framework for I2P.
Features
- Now features 'QSites' - the Q equivalent of Freenet freesites,
static websites which are retrievable even if author is offline
- Easy web interface - interact with Q (and view/insert QSites)
from your web browser
- Maximum expectations of content retrievability
- Content security akin to Freenet CHK and SSK keys
- Powerful, flexible search engine
- Comfortably accommodates both permanent and transient
nodes without significant network disruption (for instance,
no flooding of the I2P network with futile
calls to offline nodes)
- Rapid query resolution, due to distributed catalogue
mirroring which eliminates all in-network query traffic
- Modular, extensible architecture
- Simple interfaces for 3rd-party app developers
- Is custom-designed and built around I2P, so no duplication of
I2P's encryption/anonymity features
- Simple XML-RPC interface for all inter-node communication, makes it easy to
implement user-level clients in any language; also allows alternative
implementations of core server and/or client nodes.
Status
Q is presently under development, and a test release is expected soon.
