Provision resources for hosting OSM

[mikolalysenko]

It would be extremely awesome if we could get the whole OSM data set onto IPFS:

http://planet.osm.org/

I am willing to take this on, but I don't have access to the necessary hardware resources to do it yet. The compressed PBF data set is about 29GB and decompresses to ~0.5TB, which is larger than the disk of any computer I own.

If you guys can hook me up with a computer that has enough extra storage, I'll try to get this thing working on IPFS!

Here is my public key:

Yes that sounds great! Do you already have a use case in mind? We don't have unlimited storage at the moment ;)

@mikolalysenko I've already done this: ipfs-inactive/archives#11

I'm currently working on getting it into a more usable format (vector tiles). I'd really appreciate it if you were able to help with this :)

(for context, i know @mikolalysenko well, and would be awesome if he could help us! :) he pinged me and i told him to post here.)

@davidar that's sweet! i remember the viewer. we should get @mikolalysenko access to pollux as well.
