README

This is the main code repository of Onedata - a global data management system, providing easy access to distributed storage resources, supporting wide range of use cases from personal data management to data-intensive scientific computations.

Onedata is composed of several components:

  • Onezone - allows to connect multiple storage providers into a larger distributed domain and provides users with Graphical User Interface for typical data management tasks,

  • Oneprovider - the main data management component of Onedata, deployed at each storage provider site, responsible for unifying and controlling access to data over low level storage resources of the provider,

  • Oneclient - command line tool which enables transparent access to users data spaces through Fuse virtual filesystem,

  • Onepanel - administration and configuration interface for Onezone and Oneprovider components,

  • LUMA - service which allows mapping of between Onedata user accounts and local storage ID's, here we provide an example implementation of this service.

This repository combines these components into one source package, which can be used to build and test complete Onedata platform. Each of the components consists of the following submodules of this repository:

Common components

Onezone

Oneprovider

Oneclient

Onepanel

LUMA

Other

In order to initialize all submodules please use:

make submodules

instead of directly invoking Git submodule commands.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started with using or deploying Onedata is to start with our official documentation.

In order to try deploying Onedata, or specific components we have prepared a set of example configurations and scenarios.

Building

The best way to use Onedata is to use our Docker images available at Docker Hub or the binary packages available here. Currently the binary packages are only available for Oneclient component.

This repository can be also used to build entire Onedata system by invoking:

make

The build process itself is fully based on Docker containers, so no other prerequisites other than Docker should be necessary. In case of problems with Docker cache, please set NO_CACHE=1 environment variable.

Support

Please use GitHub issues mechanism as the main channel for reporting bugs and requesting support or new features.

For more detailed support and discussions online please contact as at our public HipChat channel, however our availability at this channel is a on a best effort basis.
