[9fans] 9P Cloud™

[Skip Tavakkolian]

Hello 9fans,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the 9P Cloud service
(https://www.9pcloud.net).  The service lets users create secure,
distributed file systems instantly, utilizing only HTML5 browsers.
I've included the link to a short "Introduction to 9P Cloud" video.

The backend is written in Go, and runs on a custom Plan 9 kernel.  The
service uses OAuth2 authentication; currently Google and Facebook are
supported.  The 9P server and client are written in JavaScript and
require support for HTML5 Filesystem and WebSocket APIs in the
browser.

9P Cloud would not be possible without the great work of many, some of
whom are on this list.  It should be a source of pride for the Plan 9
community, Go Authors and other open source projects (Skeleton,
Font-Awesome, Google Fonts).  Thank you all for your creations.

-Skip

Nice. This seems exactly what Plan 9 is useful for, and I am glad to see someone use it in real life to solve real problems.

Great work, I love it.

Congratulations, Skip and all contributors! Personal clouds (*truly* 
personal clouds) are the future.

Any prospects for certificate authentication as an alternative to oauth2?

yes; owing to 9P's design, authentication can be different.  an early
version used authsrv.  it is especially easy when there is a Go
package that implements the auth protocol.  this is the case with
OAuth2 (it uses https://github.com/golang/oauth2)

it would be useful to me if you would also create a second websocket
server that accepts local samba file requests :)

how can i login to this web site automatically on boot?

integration with local and third party storage (Drive, S3, Dropbox)
are on the radar for future enhancements.

in the meantime, if you wanted to roll your own (in Go) ...

assuming i undrestand correclty -- that you want to export parts of
your SMB share via 9P Cloud to others -- you would need an oauth2
client that will authenticate itself then export a 9P filesystem over
websocket to 9pcloud.  you can use either goplan9 package at
https://github.com/9fans/go (rsc/rob) or go9p package at
https://code.google.com/p/go9p/ (lucho and andrey) for the 9p server
part and the oauth2 and websocket packages in Go repo on github for
authentication and websocket handling.  the javascript on the main
page should be helpful.

Re: [9fans] 9P Cloud™

No, i mean the other way around: I would like to access the files in a
real file browser (as if they were mounted like a network share).
this mounting (and login) process should happen automatically at boot.

I currently do this for an sshfs share. A small arm computer does
nothing else but exporting an sshfs mount to my local network (windows
computers) via samba.

Also I would like to resume sharing my files with my friend after a
reboot. So for uplink I'd also need automatic login.

not sure if this helps you, but cinap's cifsd in 9front works very well for me, exporting my plan9 file server to windows boxes.
