I’m not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.
It’s basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!

There goes my RAM
I love the description.
Based
The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration…the number must go up after all.
Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?
Unless you’re building just now, those 128GB would’ve cost very little.
Nice.
Installed, still have free RAM… I think I did something wrong…
Launch multiple?
And here I am making a “useful” p2p decentralised network that has no users, so this is how you get people onboard 😁
What are you creating?
The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it’s free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, …).
Forwart a port to your PC and install a node with a script/simple manual commands/docker image and you’re ready to go. But no one does…
Nice - but it’s a pretty crowded space between Zeronet and IPFS and possibly others. And even these well-known ones barely see any serious use. And these projects have been promoted pretty heavily. You need fanatical users ;)
Yeah for sure (Fanatic users come to me!) and I don’t have the promotional skill or funds, but Zeronet is a bitcoin horror (IMO) and IPFS is like the grandpa of decentralised sharing, cumbersome and lacking simple things like the ability to update a file.
One day it’ll take off because of its ease of use and elegance, that’s what I keep telling myself anyways 😅!
Wish I could find the developer meme of “hey I’m making a neat thing” “a neat thing or critical infrastructure?” “defeated tone critical infrastructure”
*crying emoji*
Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers
The perfect vector for a nefarious experiment…
Yes, especially if people use the “latest” tag, trusting whatever the container might be updated to do in the future.
I don’t run any containers and this made me consider trying to get the whole infrastructure setup 😁
Autobots, assemble!
…but why?
Fun :(
That’s cool. I can tell you there are 700+/- different entities traversing the edge router of my network or at least vying for a slot. I’m not sure about adding 41,840 more. LOL
Sounds like it’s time to fire up another dedicated VM
This is awesome! I’m now using the swarm to control my living room lights.
