# Decentralized Publishing
|
|
|
|
NuQloud includes a Qortal-powered decentralized publishing layer.
|
|
|
|
Ordinary NuQloud Files storage is cloud storage. Decentralized publishing is a separate action that publishes selected data to QDN.
|
|
|
|
## Why Publish to QDN
|
|
|
|
Use decentralized publishing when you want:
|
|
|
|
- Data available outside the normal cloud account.
|
|
- A QDN resource that can be accessed through Qortal-compatible tools.
|
|
- A file or folder represented in Q-Manager.
|
|
- Extra resilience through decentralized availability.
|
|
|
|
## What You Need First
|
|
|
|
Before publishing, you may need:
|
|
|
|
- A NuQloud account.
|
|
- A linked decentralized account.
|
|
- Publishing credits.
|
|
- A registered name.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have publishing credits, request initial credits from your provider or admin.
|
|
|
|
## Publish From Files
|
|
|
|
1. Open NuQloud Files in the web/PWA interface.
|
|
2. Right-click a file or folder, or open the action menu.
|
|
3. Choose the QDN publish action.
|
|
4. Review the publish estimate.
|
|
5. Confirm.
|
|
6. Wait for the publish to finish.
|
|
|
|
## Published Status Indicators
|
|
|
|
NuQloud may show indicators for:
|
|
|
|
- Published.
|
|
- Stale, meaning the local file changed after publishing.
|
|
- Unpublished.
|
|
- Folder contains published files.
|
|
|
|
If a file is stale, publish it again to update the QDN copy.
|
|
|
|
## Private Publishing
|
|
|
|
Private publishing encrypts file data before publishing.
|
|
|
|
Use private publishing for personal files, backups, and files that should not be readable publicly.
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind:
|
|
|
|
- Encryption protects the content.
|
|
- Metadata such as resource existence may still be visible depending on the publish type.
|
|
- You need the right key information to read private content later.
|
|
|
|
## Public Publishing
|
|
|
|
Public publishing is readable by anyone who can access the QDN resource.
|
|
|
|
Use public publishing only for data you intentionally want public.
|
|
|
|
## Guaranteed Redundancy Add-On Packages
|
|
|
|
Your provider may offer guaranteed redundancy packages.
|
|
|
|
These are designed to improve the chance that your published decentralized data remains available by arranging additional storage, pinning, mirroring, or provider-side replication.
|
|
|
|
Ask your provider:
|
|
|
|
- What data is covered.
|
|
- How many replicas are included.
|
|
- Whether private encrypted data stays encrypted.
|
|
- How restoration is handled.
|
|
- Whether there are size or frequency limits.
|
|
|
|
## Accessing Published Data
|
|
|
|
Published NuQloud decentralized data may be accessible through:
|
|
|
|
- NuQloud Files indicators and actions.
|
|
- NuQloud Apps.
|
|
- Q-Manager.
|
|
- Qortal-compatible browsers or gateways.
|
|
- Direct QDN resource paths.
|
|
|
|
## Important Safety Notes
|
|
|
|
- Do not publish sensitive files publicly.
|
|
- Keep backup/auth files private.
|
|
- Confirm the publish mode before publishing.
|
|
- Publishing may use credits.
|
|
- Deleting a cloud file does not necessarily remove an already published QDN resource.
