InterPlanetaryCloud

InterPlanetaryCloud (IPC) is a distributed cloud built on top of Aleph, the next generation network of distributed big data applications.

IPC offers two services:

Cloud Storage

A distributed personal file storage and management system platform, protecting your data.

Cloud Computing

A distributed personal cloud computing platform for HTTP servers.

Getting started 🔧

Installation

Install Docker

Follow this official guide to install Docker, and this one to install Docker compose.
If you want to play a little bit with Docker, you can follow this tutorial or even our workshop!

Install IPC

# Get the project
git clone git@github.com:PoCInnovation/InterPlanetaryCloud.git
cd InterPlanetaryCloud

# Build IPC docker image
docker compose build

Quickstart

Run IPC 🚀

# Run IPC docker image
docker compose up

You are now ready to access to your decentralized cloud at http://localhost:3000 💥

Features 💫

Cloud Storage

Upload and use files

• Once files are uploaded on IPC, they are not immutable!
• You can rename, modify the content or remove them as you want!

Create folders to organize your drive

• Files are great, but virtual folders are also available on IPC to let you organize your files the way you want 🤩

Share your files (with access control)

• Files can be shared among contacts with viewer or editor permissions, allowing for collaboration on your drive 🚀

Delete your files

• Files can be put in the trash, and then deleted permanently 🗑️

Cloud Computing

Upload and execute simple programs

• Using Aleph VMs, programs listening on port 8080 can be executed if their source code has a size under 1 MB.
  Large files should be attached in a secondary volume, which is not a feature implemented on our side... yet 😉
• The VMs support binary executables, shell scrips, NodeJS and Python ASGI programs.
  For further information, here is the official aleph documentation.

Import programs from GitHub

• Uploading programs compressed in an archive is great, but importing it directly from GitHub is way better 🚀
• GitHub OAuth was implemented in IPC to import public and private repositories.
  ⚠️ This feature is only available when running IPC locally as it's using the filesystem to clone and zip the repository content ⚠️

How does it work? 🤔

Technologies 🧑‍💻

• Typescript
• React and NextJS
• Chakra UI

Security 🛡️

Every file that you upload will be encrypted thanks to crypto-js and the encryption method of aleph from eciesjs.

Database 📁

We use Aleph SDK TS.
