InfraNet

Distributed & E2EE self-hosting

Goals

End-to-end encrypted

E2EE is a requirement for privacy.
Collabrative

Members of the network are expected to cooperate to the best of their abilities, whether it's technical, financial or resources.
Distributed, resilient, reliable and dynamic

Nodes should be able to join and leave without too much disruption. Bootstrapping, joining and autodiscovery should be as easy as possible, allowing for easy scaling across all members of the network.
Free and open

All components should be free and open.
Shared responsibility

Knowledge of components will be documented and shared and responsibility for the uptime and maintainence should shared where possible.

Tested

All components and goals should be testable to ensure changes don't impact existing functionality or reliabilty.
Monitored

All components should be monitored and raise appropriate alerts to ensure good health and early detection of potential problems.
Containerised

Simple, versioned components that can be resource constrained, when required, would be of great benefit.
IPv6

Avoiding issues with IPv4 NAT, etc. would be desirable.
