blobnet

A configurable, low-latency blob storage server for content-addressed data.

This acts as a non-volatile, over-the-network content cache. Internal users can add binary blobs to the cache, and the data is indexed by its SHA-256 hash. Any blob can be retrieved by its hash and the range of bytes to read.

Data stored in blobnet is locally cached and durable.

Usage

Run cargo install blobnet and see the server options through a CLI. The server supports only three types of requests (HEAD / GET / PUT), and a full client implementation, including optional secondary local caching, is in the blobnet library crate.
