# Archived

This repo is **archived** as of 2026-06-02. Not deployed, not maintained.

## What this was

Custom Go microservice for per-user file sync (Steam-Cloud-style). Reached working skeleton (33 tests passing) before being deprecated in favor of [`Timemachine/cloud-sync`](https://git.timemachine.center/Timemachine/cloud-sync)'s simpler restic-backed architecture.

## Why deprecated

`restic-rest-server` with `--private-repos --append-only` does everything cloud-svc would have done — snapshots, retention, chunk-level dedup, encryption, server-enforced append-only — and is already deployed on `john`. Building cloud-svc was reinventing it badly.

See [`Timemachine/cloud-sync/DESIGN.md`](https://git.timemachine.center/Timemachine/cloud-sync/src/branch/main/DESIGN.md) for the chosen architecture.

## What's preserved here

- Commit history (skeleton through pivot decision)
- `DESIGN.md` — the original design; useful as a record of what was considered
- 33 tests covering the abandoned API surface

## What to do if you land here

Use [`Timemachine/cloud-sync`](https://git.timemachine.center/Timemachine/cloud-sync) instead. This repo is for reference only; no PRs accepted, no security fixes shipped, no production use.
