Amazon S3 as storage backend.

Postby shrift » Wed Jun 15, 2011 2:26 pm

I am aware of the s3 fuse project(s) and have played around with that, but it's clunky and doesn't really work correctly to begin with...

I am thinking something along the lines of Subsonic getting the file list from s3, but when a user listens to a song we send them a private link to the file in s3, so the bandwidth would be on s3 not the server hosting Subsonic.

If this is feasible and something you are interested in I would be willing to contribute to developing it.

I love Subsonic, thanks Sindre!

This could potentially be the backbone for a business model for Subsonic...Create a paid service by combining JungleDisk (or similar, I wonder if they have an API to integrate with other apps?) + AWS + subsonic user pages deployed on the Amazon cloud or similar...that way users don't have to do any server configurations, they just put their music in their jungle disk, wait for everything to upload in the background, login to their subsonic account and boom everything's there.

Of course, I would like it if all (or most) components were kept open source so those of us with the know how could put it together if we wanted to spend the time on it.

Personally I'm happy streaming from my own desktop server at home. Works great on my iPhone on 3G. Thanks for the AWESOME software guys!
