Storj Node

I think it would be nice to be able to share some unused storage space and earn some

@cyberfreakde How much could one get paid monthly by temporarily donating unused space? I have 4 TB of unused space I could settle for a few bones a month (even if just to cover the cost of my server for example)

@murgero hi yall, storj miner here. Great solution, works just fine. I'm currently sharing about 5TB out of an allotted 8TB and earn about $10/mo. Packaging this for Cloudron would certainly be interesting. It's obviously a Docker container, but would feel "weird" in the context of cloudron. I don't see any major gotchas on doing it - there is even a web interface to show stats that you could throw behind the new auth addon.

@murgero I think it's not suitable for temporary storage. You have to build up your node reputation which could take 1 or 2 months. Earning depends on how much the user downloads. You get per TB $1.5/mo for storage. Egress if user downloads 1 TB = $20.

@doodlemania2 I was just thinking what to do with unused Cloudron server storage. This seems to be a wonderful idea. But I have no idea about app packaging.

[doodlemania2]

@cyberfreakde yeah for sure - it could be done. Does require 10months+ of continual usage to get full rewards.

+1 for Storj Node!

Having decentralized hosting capabilities has been one of my desired use case for Cloudron

Another potential project is : https://edge.network/en/ (I will make a new post for it)
https://edge.network/en/contribute/add-a-node/
Currently have 4 nodes on the network - its still being bootstrapped but has about 650 nodes

Would love for this to happen

@plusone-nick Well, then throw down for Loki (Oxen) too! (I am considering becoming a node on there).

[plusone-nick]

@doodlemania2 good-lookin, I will check it out =]

Reviving this thread. I'd like to request this

[girish]

Does anyone have experience running storj outside cloudron?

@girish I was able to get it up and running about a year ago on a simple Ubuntu 18 VPS. It needed the entire disk (for storage). I don't recall the RAM usage or anything, but I get most of my boxes from lowendbox, so I don't imagine it was too intensive. I even earned some STORJ from it, but in the end I didn't have enough space. Suffice to say, installing (outside of Docker) was quite simple. If there is already a Dockerized install option, then I guess it would continue to be easy.
