## What it is
Pentaract is a self-hosted cloud storage application that uses Telegram as its storage backend instead of a server filesystem or paid cloud storage. It is a lightweight Rust binary with a SolidJS web UI, exposing a REST API and backed by Postgres.

## Use cases
- store unlimited files in the cloud using Telegram as backend
- self-host a personal file storage server
- use a REST API file storage in place of S3 or NextCloud
- back up files without consuming server disk space
- run a multi-user file storage platform on my own server

## When to choose
- you want free, effectively unlimited storage via Telegram and can self-host
- you need a lightweight, containerized file storage service with a REST API
- you want a personal or small-group cloud storage without paying for S3

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, battle-tested storage backend
- you cannot rely on Telegram API availability or rate limits
- you need S3-compatible protocol compliance or guaranteed durability
