Perkeep Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• A Social Filesystem

  I've been thinking of this for some time, conceptually, but perhaps from a more fundamental angle. I think the idea of "files" is pretty dated and can be thrown out. Treat everything as data blobs (inspired by PerKeep[0]) addressed by their hashes and many of the issues described in the article just aren't even a thing. If it really makes sense, or for compatibility sake, relevant blobs can be exposed... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Timelinize – Privately organize your own data from everywhere, locally

  Are you, by chance, referring to https://perkeep.org/ ? - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift

• Is there a way to create a mass photo storage system that can be accessed anywhere?

  You probably just want to pay the cost for hosted. But if you're set on running it yourself, https://perkeep.org/ is great. Source: about 3 years ago

• opensource file inventory over multiple system and OS's

  Not sure how actively it’s being developed but it sounds like perkeep is exactly the idea you’re looking for. Source: over 3 years ago

• Storing files locally in a graph

  So... It just occurred to me that you need to know about https://perkeep.org , I have been following it since the beginning when it was called Camlistore, and notably this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxSzQIwXM1k ( from this page: https://perkeep.org/doc/ ). Source: over 3 years ago

• Seeking a self-hostable search engine for *everything* that I own

  If you want to live dangerously, this might eventually be useful: https://perkeep.org/. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Can’t remember the name of a file storage / capturing software

• Show HN: Irchiver, your full-resolution personal web archive

  I was looking into this a while ago, there are a couple of solutions (all of them not perfect unfortunately IMO). https://archivy.github.io/ https://perkeep.org/ https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori Are three of them. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies

  Https://perkeep.org/ seems relevant and not mentioned yet here. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)

  For your second point, you might want to have a look at Perkeep: https://perkeep.org/ It supports the kind of queries you are after, but it’s a bit of a passion project and development is slow. What’s already there works well though. - Source: Hacker News / almost 5 years ago

• I'm looking for dropbox alternative

  Have a look at https://perkeep.org/ it is not ready to roll solution but might be of interest. Source: almost 5 years ago

• I store my files and why you should not rely on fancy tools for backup

  My understanding is that there are two issues. First, modern deduplicating backup software like borg/restic/duplicacy store data in a repository in unique chunks. This avoids the issue that incremental backup software like duplicity have where they can create long chains of incremental changes which is slow to restore and increases the likelihood of errors on restore. Second, both deduplicating and incremental... - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

• A Unix-style personal search engine and web crawler for your digital footprint

  Any thoughts on perkeep? https://perkeep.org/ I see substantial overlap in the vision. - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

• APSE – A Personal Search Engine

  I’ve seen a handful of this kind of “Google, but only for things I’ve seen before” app. I think it’s something the world needs, but there are a lot of different approaches and I don’t think anyone has quite nailed it. Ultimately the best solutions will likely use many different cataloging strategies depending on the content, and will allow you to tag or otherwise organize important content. Funny enough if I had... - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

• Nebulus: An IPFS-Less IPFS

  Reminds me of Camlistore, one of the earlier content-addressable personal storage systems, by Brad Fitzpatrick. Now called Perkeep apparently https://perkeep.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

• Hoarding massive amounts of images and tagging?

  I've been looking into perkeep for organizing my photos, screenshots, and scanned documents. It comes with a web UI where you can go through and tag your files, then you can query by tags or other properties to retrieve them. Source: about 5 years ago
