Well, that's a task to think about. I will design it when there are volunteers

Might be good enough.

Longhorn integrates with k8s. Its could be a nice solution

What won't give you PVCs but a way to distribute static content for applications or backups.

So....
On the topic of trust. There are heuristic distributed trust systems. They can also be backed by some kind of solution... like Vault

Also, owner need to be trusted. Even if you limit what the contributors of those nodes have limited access to inside cluster, they will have full access to whatever runs on their nodes anyway.

If the node owner were to share storage for distribution.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:08

I didn't think about it. I would probably try to link it to a cluster

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:06

yes. There was an idea with a distributed NAS

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:05

rather, for everyone who donated their resources

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:04

The owners of those nodes would need to trust strangers?

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:04

Have you thought about distributed storage?

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:01

Where there are volunteers, then I'll think about it. I want to design an open distributed system with secure shared access

Offtopic

What do you expect? People to provide nodes?

Models are not asking for anything...

Vault controls how secrets are distributed and who is authorized to request them — but once a secret lands on a node, the node operator can see it.

Longhorn is slow and synchronous. Garage is a good fit for distribution data over nodes that are not near to each other.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:18

Stateful applications would need to sync with other instances still, but could send backups to Garage.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:17

Garage + Vault...
Yeah...

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:13

Yes. There is a latency issue. But I remember there's an open-source solution specifically for these kinds of 'garage distributed systems'. It's called Garage, I believe — named exactly that

Offtopic

Other than local storage.

Offtopic

There's a latency concern if the distributed storage is distributed to nodes around different parts of the world. Asynchronous replication would have a tolerable latency, but there's a risk of data loss.

Outside of (external to) the cluster?

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:05

So, the owners of those node plus perhaps some admins who take care of the cluster?

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:05

I'm distributed storage is a must, I'm just asking if you have thought about it.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:04

That's like giving free access to a VPS to everyone.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:03

And who gets to deploy services? The owner of those nodes?

Offtopic

13 May 2026 15:59

And which kind of access do the owner of those nodes get to the cluster?
