Hello list, I've gotten my OpenBSD client connected to the production server at allmydata.com and am able to use it for backups - yay! I was able to find the introducer by searching the mailing list archives, but the helper address I found doesn't seem to work. What helper should I be using? (I have a lot of upstream bandwidth, so maybe I don't need one anyway.)
I obtained my rootcap from https://www.allmydata.com/native_client.php. Am I correct in assuming that on the production grid I'm restricted to using that single rootcap? (Even if I can create other rootcaps, they couldn't be associated with my login, would be indistinguishable from a non-paying person's, and would therefore be expected to be deleted... right?) I looked at docs/architecture.txt and it tells me that the section on leases is out of date. I'd like to understand more about how leasing is done on the allmydata.com grid, and would like to hear what I can do to manage leases. For example, I may have some data of sentimental value that I'd like to store permanently (or as long as I'm a customer), but on the other hand I'd like to allow my scheduled backups to be available for garbage collection after a specific date (say, six months after I do that backup). How do I do stuff like that -- or can I? Is there documentation somewhere on the 'tahoe backup' command? I'd like to know more about its behavior and any command line switches it supports. Lastly, I'll volunteer to be an OpenBSD buildslave, but I'll need someone to send me instructions on how to do it. I hope it's completely scripted and boils down to just setting up a cron job. :) _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
