What is it good for?

  • You want to have your web interface or web API close to the data.
  • You want to customize how you preview, store, curate the data.
  • You have a lot of data but cannot afford cloud storage solutions.

What is it bad for?

  • If you just want to store small files that don’t require a lot of curation, a cloud storage solution might be a better fit.

The ugly?

  • Documentation is work in progress.
  • Some of the code is a little hard to read.
