Magnet

Magnet is a personal self-hosted server for storage, compute, and remote access.

It is built to replace dependence on third-party cloud services with a system you fully control.

Run server

After cloning the repository, follow instructions in queries/setup.sql, then edit the postgres url and run:

source serve.sh

Make sure to add the static/config.toml file and an empty drive folder in the build directory.

Run client

After creating a virtual environment and installing maturin, run:

maturin develop

in client, this will install the client extension for python. The python API is mentioned in client/readme.md.

Planned Features

• Private, Google-Drive-like file storage
• File sync and access control
• Remote code execution
• Modular, extensible services

Status

Early development. Expect breakage.

Philosophy

Own the hardware. Own the data. Own the execution.
