Perkeep (formerly Camlistore) is a personal storage system for storing, syncing, sharing, modeling, and backing up your data for life. It combines open formats, protocols, and Go software with a server, web UI, command-line tools, and FUSE filesystem access.
Use cases
- back up my personal files and photos for long-term archival
- self-host my own storage instead of relying on cloud providers
- sync content across my phone, browser, and computers
- search across all my stored files and objects
- keep my data private and under my own control for decades
- mount my personal archive as a filesystem
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, privacy-first personal archive with content-addressable storage
- you need long-term preservation of heterogeneous data (files, tweets, large videos)
- you're technical and want open formats and protocols you can inspect
When to avoid
- you need a polished turnkey product for non-technical users
- you want a simple file-sync tool like Dropbox or Syncthing without a data-modeling layer
- you need enterprise-grade multi-user storage
