Litestream VFS 7 months ago

Just a heads up for people. This will not work (as far as I could get working) with a system running 0.3.x backups to s3 and trying to restore from them.

For anyone following this example, one thing to note that I figured out the hard way is that this line from @zackify SHOULD BE HIGHTLIGHTED...

* "Just need to have "LITESTREAM_REPLICA_URL" and the key id and secret env vars set when running the script"

... and that attempting to load the variables using `dotenv` will not work!!

Got it....you beat me to it. I had just figured that part out!! I didn't understand that part. ALSO, and this might be helpful for others, in the releases section, if you expand the little blue link at the bottom that says something like "see the other 35 assets", then the VFS extension will be downloadable from there!

Thanks for humouring me! :D

Neat. What I wasn't able to find was the dynamic library, just the `litestream` executable. Was there some secret you used for the litestream dylib? Thanks in advance!

Cool that you got this to work! How did you get the "dylib" location or file.

Thank you for your efforts. Unfortunately people are people and the loudest are usually the complainers. I wish we, your supporters, were able to muster as loud of applause when the complaints come in, but we are too busy enjoying your work. Thank you again.

Sidenote: thank you also to all those project leads that put themselves out there. Not easy being the $h1t magnet.

You and me both!!! If you ever find that, please remember this and point me to it as well. My thoughts were: use all the free capacity of the drives you mentioned to make a filesystem like HDFS which distributes blocks all over the place.. :)

Great idea. I am finding it difficult to use however. I filed one bug, and it seems that there may be a few more. Maybe there is too much load on the service, but it seems that some of the basic functions are functioning as planned. I look forward to seeing if it is just in passing, because the idea is super!

One more question... How effective would this be for a `network questionable` environment, if I were let's say doing a mobile app and wanted to incorporate this type of solution in for an offline first type of experience?

Great work. Planning to read about it. I, and I am sure others, are continually intrigued about this space and I hold out hope that the definitive solution appears soon (along with the solution to micropayments !!).

On a slightly related note, is anyone interested in having a discussion about how to layer on top of all these "drive" systems a `HDFS` like drive that would have n block replication across different sources, and trying to interpret any given source (dropbox, hyperdrive, google drive, etc..) blocks to make sense of what is being stored there would render the person confused?

CouchDB 3.0 6 years ago

CouchDB is good. Yes. I still dream of the day when the cluster will balance shards automatically and recover better from losing and replacing nodes. :D

Are they advocating that we should not pay for movies and such as well? Read:

"No Federal agency should use taxpayer dollars to purchase a report from the National Technical Information Service that is available through the Internet for free."

It doesn't say 'legally' in there any where in there.

Anyhoo....
