Frequently Asked Questions
Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle with extra pieces. Your file is broken into pieces/chunks and 'redundant' pieces are added. Even if some of the pieces of the puzzle are lost (because a decentralised node goes offline), then the remaining pieces perfectly reconstructs your original file.
Understanding the Redundancy Levels:
Medium
1%
Standard Protection. Can recover your file even if 1% of the network chunks are missing.
Best for: Non-critical data, testing
Insane
10%
Enhanced Security. Can tolerate 10% loss of data chunks.
Best for: Personal files, important documents
Paranoid
50%
Maximum Resilience. Even if 50% of nodes go offline, your file can be fully recovered.
Best for: Mission-critical data
HejBit provides multiple layers of security:
- Decentralized Storage: Files are broken into chunks and distributed across the Ethereum Swarm network, eliminating single points of failure.
- Swarm Network Security: Data is stored on a decentralized network where no single entity controls access.
- Encryption Option: For maximum privacy, users can encrypt files before uploading using their preferred encryption tools.
- Immutable Audit Trail: Each file receives a unique Swarm hash for tamper-proof verification.
Note: HejBit does not currently provide built-in end-to-end encryption. Users who require file encryption should encrypt files before upload.
HejBit integrates through its Nextcloud plugin:
- Nextcloud Plugin: Provides native external storage folder integration within Nextcloud's familiar interface.
- Platform Extensions: The plugin enables integration with systems that support Nextcloud plugins, including Moodle, WordPress, and OpenProject compatibility.
- REST API: Programmatic access for custom applications and integrations via Nextcloud.
- WebDAV Support: Works with any system supporting WebDAV through Nextcloud.
- Single Integration Point: All integration happens through the HejBit Nextcloud plugin.
HejBit's Swarm hash system ensures you can always recover your files:
- Swarm Hash Management: Each file uploaded to HejBit receives a unique Swarm hash that serves as its permanent identifier on the decentralized network.
- Hash Export: Users can export their Swarm hashes for all stored files.
- Future Recovery: With exported Swarm hashes, users can recover their files directly from the Swarm network using any Swarm client, even if HejBit services are unavailable.
- Data Sovereignty: This ensures true data ownership — your files remain accessible through their Swarm hashes regardless of service availability.
Best Practice: Regularly export and securely store your Swarm hashes as part of your data management strategy.
Your data remains accessible because:
- Files are stored on the decentralized Swarm network, not on HejBit servers.
- The Swarm network operates independently of any single service.
- You can access your data using exported Swarm hashes on open-source Swarm clients (bee nodes or gateways).
- True data sovereignty means no vendor lock-in.
Recovery Process: With your exported Swarm hashes, you can retrieve files directly from the Swarm network using any compatible client.
File sharing is managed through the HejBit Nextcloud plugin:
- Nextcloud Sharing: Utilizes Nextcloud's built-in sharing capabilities.
- Public/Private Links: Share files via Nextcloud's link sharing features.
- Permission Controls: Granular access controls through Nextcloud's permission system.
- Collaboration: All sharing functions are handled within the Nextcloud interface.
HejBit's architecture is designed for resilience and decentralization:
- File Chunking: Files are split into chunks through the Nextcloud plugin.
- Erasure Coding: Redundant pieces are added for resilience (choose from 1%, 10%, or 50% redundancy).
- Swarm Distribution: Chunks are distributed across global Swarm network nodes.
- Hash Verification: Each file gets a unique Swarm hash for verification.
- Retrieval: Files are reassembled from available chunks when accessed.
- Hash Management: Users can export Swarm hashes for independent file recovery.
HejBit offers a fundamentally different approach to cloud storage:
| Feature | Traditional Cloud | HejBit |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Corporate-controlled servers | Decentralized, distributed network |
| Data Location | Centralized data centers | Globally distributed nodes |
| Censorship Risk | Account suspension possible | Censorship-resistant architecture |
| Ownership | Vendor lock-in | True data sovereignty with Swarm hash export |
| Resilience | Single points of failure | Network-wide redundancy |
| Integration | Proprietary APIs | Nextcloud plugin with REST API & WebDAV |
| Recovery | Dependent on provider | Independent via Swarm hashes |
