TahoeLAFS is a free and open source cloud storage system, that distributes your data across multiple servers. You can manage a storage grid in a cloud-like manner and dynamically add and remove storage servers as needed. TahoeLAFS includes many options for redundancy and security.
To configure Duplicati to use TahoeLAFS, follow these steps:
- Add a new backup
- Choose “TahoeLAFS” as the destination
- Enter these options for the connection:
- The server is “localhost” if you are running the storage client locally, leave the port empty and it will use the default
3456. If you are using a storage client on another machine, use that machine’s name and port. - In “Path on server” enter the TahofeLAFS url, which you can get from the TahoeLAFS web interface, it should start with
/uri/URI:DIR2:which indicates a write-able directory - You can enable SSL if the storage client you are using supports this, but you do not need it for a locally running storage client. You can also supply a username and password if your local client supports it.
- The server is “localhost” if you are running the storage client locally, leave the port empty and it will use the default
