MeshHold

What MeshHold is

MeshHold is a free, decentralized private cloud and mesh network that users can self-host as a single Go binary. Its storage includes replication, file versioning, lazy deletion, and an S3-compatible API. The mesh provides multi-hop routing, system VPN access, and forward and reverse TCP and UDP tunnels. Users can co-edit OpenDocument text files and spreadsheets across nodes, including over a LAN without internet. Integrations include Nextcloud, Immich, Mastodon, and PeerTube, with federated sharing to Nextcloud and ownCloud through Open Cloud Mesh. It also supports remote access to Claude Code, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI with per-instance state and MCP tool approval. The maker describes three encryption layers and says data stays on user-owned hardware; the default installation has no telemetry or analytics, though two switchable requests to meshhold.com are described. Community Edition has no artificial limits on nodes, users, vaults, or replication factor. It runs on Android, Linux, Windows, and the web, and offers an API and self-hosted option. The maker says there is no external security audit, signed releases, or ISO 27001, SOC 2, or DORA attestation. Community support is available through a public forum; the project is maintained by one person without a support rota or 24/7 line. A Business tier is listed as coming soon, with enterprise modules and contracted support.
