Storj
Storj is a platform, token, and suite of decentralized applications that allows you to store data in a secure and decentralized manner. Your files are encrypted, shredded into little pieces called 'shards' and stored in a global decentralized network of computers. Only you have access and the ability to retrieve all shards from the network, decrypt them, and finally re-combine all file pieces into your original file.
To start using Storj
See our documentation at Storj docs.
To start developing Storj
The community site hosts all information about building storj from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
Install VGO
go get -u golang.org/x/vgo
Install non-go development dependencies
In order to develop on Storj, you will need to have the protobuf
compiler installed on your system.
-
Grab the latest release for your system from here.
-
place the
protoc
binary in your path. i.e.mv $HOME/Downloads/protoc-<version>-<arch>/bin/protoc /usr/local/bin
Install go dependencies
Use vgo to install both dev and non-dev dependencies.
-
Install development dependencies
make build-dev-deps
-
Install project dependencies
# in project root vgo install
If you want to build Storj right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d storj.io/storj
$ cd $GOPATH/src/storj.io/storj
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/storj/storj
$ cd storj
$ make docker
