I believe I am on my last minor feature before I'll be ready to launch #Arkfile to production: Adding support for hardware security keys (Yubikey, Nitrokey) as a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) method, in addition to TOTP. (Multi-node deployments and containerization can wait, I think.)

(I am working on adding Nitrokey and Yubikey support into Arkfile now.)

I have my own moral code and standards for myself and my family to live by. I do not wish to impose those on anyone else, however. Who am I to judge you? That is between you and your creator, or you and your community. That is why in the design of #Arkfile, I defer to the user. Who am I to demand the contents of your files, filenames, fingerprints and so on? I would much rather not know any of it. For a user, divulging file contents is a risk. For an admin, it is a liability. Eliminating the risks and liabilities is the goal of the whole project. The end result should be that you get private, secure and redundant storage of your files and data.

I am building Arkfile because it is a product I have wanted to exist for a long time. A fusion of S3 and Firefox Send (for anyone who remembers that!) and other private cloud storage services like ProtonDrive or MEGA. I will dogfood the prod version myself once launched.

Added "Top Object Storage Providers" to Erasure Coding doc Added Hetzner as supported S3-compatible backend github.com/arkfile/Arkfile/b… #Arkfile

Consider donating if you support the project. github.com/arkfile/Arkfile/b… #Arkfile

Updated gist and added Arkfile project doc on Erasure Coding: github.com/arkfile/Arkfile/b… #ObjectStorage : #Redundancy, #Redundancy

File storage & sharing with full encryption at rest & in transit. Server never sees passwords/unencrypted files/filenames/hashes. Stores them redundantly in object storage (S3), random padding added for further privacy. No account to DL shared files. Need beta testers! #Arkfile

500 commits as of today. And I'm working on the spit and polish of the site. Feels good. #Arkfile ⛵️ github.com/arkfile/Arkfile

Updated privacy.md for #Arkfile to explain: - Recently added .arkbackup encrypted file export for data portability & offline decryption - Enhanced rate-limiting & privacy-preserving logging - Updates to random padding over encrypted files placed in S3 github.com/arkfile/Arkfile/b…

Refactor complete. Swapped out MinIO for SeaweedFS. Added an encrypted blob export and local offline decrypt option too via the arkfile-client Go CLI util. github.com/arkfile/Arkfile Much of this would not be possible as a 1 man team w/o @PPQdotAI / @cline / @AnthropicAI Opus 4.6

Arkfile will support Auth47 for Login, as well as paying to a BIP 47 PayNym for storage credits.
