let me save you the hassles of self-hosting nextcloud 😂 however it's a pretty small company so don't be surprised that hosting on their stuff is overpriced. nextcloud has free open servers, this doesn't. then again nextcloud's encryption is more fake than matrix

You're right that ipfs is normally very resource hungry and slow. That's why we wrote our own implementation which used much less bandwidth and cpu and is faster (https://github.com/peergos/nabu). Be aware that we don't use Tor yet (see warning at beginning of book - https://book.peergos.org/).

Does nabu support mounting? I never got ipfs mount nor ipns mount to work. I'd like to be able to nabu mount /mount/path and see everything that was downloaded with nabu in it. Is that possible?

Nabu is very minimal. It implements the structures and p2p protocols necessary to store and retrieve blocks and ipns mappings and do p2p mutually authenticated http requests, which is all we need for Peergos. Nabu itself doesn't have a concept of files, just blocks and their merkle links. The performance on a benchmark relevant to us is shown here: https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-11-introducing-nabu/#benchmark
