NodeSolidServer is an implementation of the Solid protocol that runs a Solid personal data server (pod server) on top of the local file system in Node.js. It supports the Linked Data Platform spec, Web Access Control, WebID+TLS authentication, and real-time updates via WebSockets, and can be used as a CLI tool or a library.

Use cases

• self-host a Solid pod server for personal data storage
• run a WebID identity provider
• serve Linked Data Platform resources from a file system
• experiment with decentralized web apps that store data in Solid pods
• set up Web Access Control permissions for shared data
• develop and test Solid-compliant applications against a local server

When to choose

• you want a spec-compliant Solid server that stores data as files on disk
• you need a self-hosted WebID identity provider and pod hosting
• you want a simple CLI or Docker setup for a personal Solid pod
• you are developing Solid apps and need a local test server

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose web server or REST API framework
• you require database-backed storage or horizontal scaling beyond a single node
• you need a production Solid server with active commercial support
• your project has no connection to Solid or Linked Data
