Hi all - So I posted about distributed hosting yesterday. I wrote up some thoughts on how I think it could work, and I’m planning to start work on it – if anyone has feedback on my proposal, or wants to get involved to help, 100% let me know as I’d love to hear.

(Edit: removed the link from the URL field, as it pasted it unformatted into the post which is not productive. Click the link in the paragraph above if you want to read in an un-eye-crossing format.)

    I got a spare raspberry pi set up as a server. I can use that to host stuff and am okay in programming (not rust though). Let me know if I can be of assistance in anyway. Be happy to help with this effort

      Yes, absolutely! Sorry for the silence… I was working on code with a little bit expanded scope from the original project, but it’s shaping up to be maybe within a week or two something that could actually be tested. You can read the update about the current state of things; in it I talk about having a test instance set up, and wanting to set up proxy caches for it to be able to test the whole system in real-world functioning. The code’s not ready yet, but maybe if in a couple weeks you still want to help with testing, I can help you get a proxy node set up on your Pi and then that can form part of the initial proof-of-concept on that testbed server?

        For sure and no worries about the delay in response. I am out on vacation but when I get back, I can lend help set up a proxy node. Maybe set it up as a container on docker
