Looks great! I love the simplicity of the dashboard :)
I have one question as a developer. Are those files I uploaded are stored on Gaia storage?
As I know, files on Gaia storage can only be readable through authentication process.
(They only have `userSession.readFile()` methods on their documents)
If so, how guest users (visitors who haven't logged into blockstack) can access those website files on Gaia storage?
Thanks @sebastiank !
Blockstack allows users to publish files public to everyone. Encryption is not mandatory.
The idea is similar to FTP. Once you upload a file to FTP it becomes a public file.
At that point what runkod does is fulfill connection between the user's gaia storage and the internet.
To do that we have complicated mechanisms under the hood but basically we can say that runkod is a file router engine between the internet and the gaia storage.

This is very interesting! As the content is stored in decentralized way, does this help with geographical distribution and redundancy? Ie. If one node goes down, you still get your files served from another node? Basically 100% uptime? If so, this can be huge 😱

Interesting, totally new to this decentralized hosting thing. If it is free to host how does Runkod generate money? Could anyone point me towards some articles to learn more about this technology?
@cody_ramsey All features we've developer so far are free and will be free forever. We are working on some extra services (like CI/CD, git integration...) to release paid version of runkod and get profit.

Our server on the openfiler has started to allocate resources in an incomprehensible way. For a seemingly simple task, it allocates a lot of resources. What can we do? Switch to another vps server?

You probably need to change the distribution on the server or switch to another hosting provider. Openfiler is quite good but isn't the best in terms of the resource management server. You're better to Use the FreeBSD VPS hosting https://www.hostzealot.com/vps/o... from the company hostzealot. The price is low, and the well-adapted server for different tasks. Just choose the country where you will locate your server, which will be closest to your audience.
Been testing with Runkod for a little while with my preprod environments and I love it! Soon moving all of my apps over to Runkod hosting.
Best of all Runkod makes it simple for me to provide instructions to users who want to run their own version of my apps and truly decentralize their need for trust.
Thanks @dantrevino !
Your experience and feedback on runkod have been super valuable for us!

Still it is not clear how it works.
do you store data in your datacenters or people can store data in their VPSes and contribute their BW (i.e. worldwide unlimited CDNs)?
i don't see an option to become a node, if it is de-centralized like synthing.
i own lot of VPSes and i would be happy to become node.
