Storage

JuiceFS Shared Storage

Piglet Run uses JuiceFS to provide a distributed filesystem backed by PostgreSQL.

Why JuiceFS?

  • POSIX Compatible: Works like a normal filesystem
  • Database-Backed: Data stored in PostgreSQL
  • Snapshots: Point-in-time recovery support
  • Multi-User: Share workspace across sessions
