<h1 class='bustTitleRegexp'>What is Camlistore?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Camlistore is your personal storage system for life. It is:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>a way to store, sync, share, model and back up content</li>
|
|
<li>everything private by default</li>
|
|
<li>entirely under your control</li>
|
|
<li>Open Source (Apache licensed)</li>
|
|
<li>an acronym for <i>"Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage"</i>, saying that Camlistore is about:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>content-addressable storage (at the lowest layer)</li>
|
|
<li>separate interoperable parts (<a href="/docs/arch">storage</a>, <a href="/docs/terms#graphsync">sync</a>, <a href="/docs/sharing">sharing</a>,
|
|
<a href="/docs/schema">modeling</a>), with well-defined protocols and roles</li>
|
|
<li>indexing and searching your content</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>your "home directory for the web"</li>
|
|
<li>pro-JSON (yet aggressively format agnostic)</li>
|
|
<li>pro-OpenPGP (for <a href="/docs/json-signing">signing claims</a>)</li>
|
|
<li>pro-paranoia and privacy</li>
|
|
<li><a href="/docs/uses">ambitious</a>, but ...</li>
|
|
<li>simple!</li>
|
|
<li>programming language-agnostic (parts and different implementations in <a href="http://golang.org/">Go</a>, Python, Java, Perl, Bash, ... the language doesn't matter.) What matters is well-defined, simple HTTP interfaces.</li>
|
|
<li>neither "Cloud" nor "Local". happily both. Run it on your own machine (any OS, any architecture), your phone, EC2, App Engine, Heroku, whatever.</li>
|
|
<li>a "20% project" from a few Google employees, but not Google-centric nor endorsed by Google (other than them letting us open source our side project)</li>
|
|
</ul>
