Windows storage driver
-
@drexel: a note on your idea to host a SIAd instance externally to avoid it to be run local. IMO that would non alligned with the idea of P2P and introduce a single point of failure. Then I personally think it is better to have the "hazzle" locally.
-
@larsfloe Good point. Not on the radar for first release. Plenty of challenges without it. There would be security implications as well. siad would still listen on loopback only, but any network expose would need to be secure.
-
@drexel said in Windows storage driver:
And siad or SiaUI will need to be running.
Looks really good! I would try to divorce your app from the SiaUI app at the very least. Maybe even let user define location of
siadas an option and start the daemon if its not already running.
-
@in-cred-u-lous Html/css are king for UI's :)
Good to know. Wasn't entirely sure which route to take, but most dev has been against siad standalone. I do test against both just to be sure that Sia-UI interactions aren't causing issues. The app will guide you through setting up a new account, if required. May just add an option to install siad when packaged to keep it simple.
-
Tedious week focused on unit test, mock siad and creating test cases. I'll try to update once a week.
-
@drexel maybe you would consider to join the sia slack and discuss you project in the #contributors channel
-
@drexel any news? :)

Project is on Bitbucket
https://bitbucket.org/siaextensions/siadriveI was planning to release alpha build but encountered an issue with siad. Sia dev is working on reproducing it. I'm slowly getting Go dev tools setup to see if I can help, but it's crunch time at work.
I started work on Linux FUSE last week. Depending on how long it will take to pinpoint/fix siad issue, FUSE may also be included in alpha.
-
Today is SiaDrive Alpha 1 release day. Alpha 2 will add linux support within 4-6 weeks.

awseome.... I'd like to give it a test shot - I recall you mentioned you advised to do a separate install on a separate machine to not mess up wallets 'n stuff?? :-)
-
I've downlodaded and tested a bit:
-
I can upload folders to SIA just by moving them to the mapped windows drive - very good.
-
Issue one: if you rename folders in the mapped (the SIA dive) you will end up having a copy, not a renamed folder, and in SIAD (the "official" SIA client the rename is not reflected. I couln't figure out if it is because the rename was done during upload, during duplication till factox3 or after.
btw.: do you want feed back from test here or??
-
-
@larsfloe So sorry for missing this. Haven't checked the forum lately. Mostly on Slack. I'll test rename again tonight.
-
Alpha 2 is released.

@larsfloe Also, if you find anything that you suspect is a bug, you can report it here:

Alpha 3 is released. Fix for rename issue reported above. Moving on to FUSE but will most likely release something every 2 weeks. More of an agile approach since it's just me developing.

This is amazing! It's exactly what I need. It is just a tad unstable though. Or maybe I'm not using it quite right. When will there be a windows stable beta version? Is there anyway that I can help? I don't want to discuss how I want to use it on here but maybe we can get together you can tell me if I'm using it incorrectly for what I'm trying to do.

@bryan It's going to be a bit unstable at this point. I'm in early alpha phase and decided to put it out sooner to get early adopter feedback. Test away and send any feedback my direction. I really don't have any time frame for a stable version until feature complete. Still evolving as Sia continues to implement improvements and features.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes very early. Is this your email for this project?

@bryan it is for the project. you can shoot me any questions there confidentially or i can provide a personal email. either way, just use the email above and we can go from there. thanks for test feedback, as well!

i've encountered issues with antivirus software and things just seem to work better if you can exclude the mounted location. may or may not apply. most of the odd behavior will disappear when sia adds random read but next weeks release should ease some pains as well.
