| Name: | Greyfish |
| Description: | Greyfish is a simple, out-of-the-box software for provisioning a multi-user, filesystem in the cloud or on-prem. If you are building a web-application for which you need to support multiple users, having their personal space on a shared storage, then Greyfish can be useful in this scenario. It helps in creating a data "vault" with appropriate access privileges for the users. It provides the functionality for file-management - file/folder upload, file/folder download, and data persistence. It is built using Docker and currently runs as a single Docker container. However, shortly, we will release a distributed version of Greyfish such that it can leverage the storage space on multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) for load-balancing. The container technology helps in creating a portable service that can be started on or moved to any VM/system that supports Docker. |
