Storage

Filesystems

  • Tahoe-LAFS (Least Authority File System) - is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store. It distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues to work correctly and to preserve your privacy and security.(debian packages available but not very up to date). Possible public grid or private self-hosted grid. And an anonymous transport via I2P is also available via patches (http://duck.i2p.to).

  • MooseFS - is a fault tolerant, network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts as other Unix-alike file systems.

  • NubiSave strives to become an automated and optimal cloud storage system for network setups and desktop users. At its core, it runs a configurable tree of FUSE modules, with the root being the dispersing ?NubiSave splitter module. New storage providers can be added easily with local templates and from a registry. Initial Debian packaging metadata exists.

Network Attached Storage

  • OpenMediaVault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Looks like it has an excellent and comprehensive panel, similar to that used by the ReadyNAS.

Synchronisation

  • ownCloud, data storage project from the wider KDE community

  • SparkleShare - opensource dropbox replacement - doesn't really need a server side setup (ssh access+git) but could be included by installation instructions to user

  • iFolder - "Sync and Share Files."

  • sucsynct - "Instant and efficient distributed backup and syncing, triggered whenever a file in a watched replica changes."

Hardware

Non-free (will not be used, but useful for comparisons)

  • 5 NAS servers comparison: FreeNAS, CryptoNAS (formerly ?CryptoBox), Openfiler, NASLite-M2 (proprietary) and NanoNAS (proprietary): http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/7153/1/

  • ReadyNAS - proprietary parts sold on top of Debian running SPARC hardware. similar to freedombox but targetting home storage only, with a web interface, rather than lots of applications, although there were some (like BitTorrent.) Point is really to look at them as a model of how to sell Debian preinstalled in display-less computers.

  • Wuala, Distributed, redundant, encrypted (zero-knowledge), and online file storage (closed source)

  • * One of the main points to take from Wuala is the storage distribution (papers available). It lets you specify how much personal storage of yours you want to allow others to utilize and you get the same amount in return from the cloud of users.
  • SpaceMonkey distributed P2P storage service. (local hardware + paid service) Startup which does not appear to have launched as of April 2012.

Telephony

  • YATE (Yet Another Telephony Engine)

  • Asterisk (appliances, live CD's)

  • PlugBPX, a project to turn the sheeva plug into a simple Asterisk server

  • VillageTelco - MeshPotato, openwrt + B.A.T.M.A.N. + asterisk = wireless mesh telephony project already deployed with success in Africa on the meshpotato custom designed hardware.

  • FreeSWITCH "The World's First Cross-Platform Scalable FREE Multi-Protocol Soft Switch"

  • Tor (For routing perhaps)

  • I2P - A decentralized, secure (layered encryption) and anonymous peer-to-peer network with serverless chat, irc, jabber, forums, websites, p2p filesharing, BitTorrent trackers, serverless secure mail, file hosting, iMule, etc. All with focus on privacy and security. (ITP: 448638)

  • Connection oriented routing project - zero adminstration mesh networking with privacy and security in mind

  • B.A.T.M.A.N: Mesh routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc networks (see also telephony)

  • Babel: Mesh routing based on IP in user-space for multi-hop networks.

  • Netsukuku: Mesh Routing Protocol for very large-scale self-maintaining network with distributed hostname service (not packaged, heavyweight the Python Stackless version, work in progress for a light Vala version)

Security

Unsorted
