Newbie question about pod hosting

Self Host a Solid Pod
1

hi all,

there is mention on the site about bittorrent. Does solid work in a similar way in that if I host my own pod will i also end up hosting the decentralisation data of other people in the community?

Thanks

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

I will assume you are going to use the Community Solid Server. That would depend on the server configuration. You can always run your own Solid server which just has your data on it and keep it public, but only your data is on it. You can also configure the sign-on and storage mechanisms to allow others to host their pod data on your server. Only the agents which have configured access control to resources on your server would be able to access and/or create pod resources.
