Auto Drive: Autonomys Network's Data Access Layer

Auto Drive is a decentralized content-addressed storage solution built on the Autonomys Network, leveraging its underlying permanent storage layer known as the Autonomys Distributed Storage Network (DSN). It provides users with a secure and efficient way to store, share, and manage digital assets with the assurance of long-term data persistence.

Auto Drive offers a user-friendly interface for uploading and downloading files, as well as an SDK and API for developers to integrate storage capabilities into their applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v20 or later)
• Yarn

Installation

For running auto-drive locally you need to launch infra, auth, backend and frontend

Infrastructure

Spin up docker instances with:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --env-file .env.dev up -d

make init-submodules
yarn
yarn backend db-migrate up
yarn auth db-migrate up
cd apps/hasura
hasura migrate apply --admin-secret myadminsecretkey
hasura metadata apply --admin-secret myadminsecretkey
cd -

Auth

Once infra is spin up, auth can be launched simply with:

cd apps/auth
cp .env.sample .env
yarn build
yarn start
cd -

Backend

cd apps/backend
cp .env.sample .env
cd -
