Get an account with a hoster
Using a hosted accounts means entrusting someone else with your data, in exchange for not having to set up or maintain a storage server yourself.
As remoteStorage is an open protocol, you can use migration programs to move all of your data to any other remoteStorage-capable provider, server or local machine at any time.

Host your own storage server
You can set up remoteStorage on your own server or integrate it into your infrastructure by using one of the following implementations, or creating your own:
-

remoteStorage server based on node.js. Supports both Redis and the filesystem as storage backend.
-
remotestorage-server
An NPM package you can use as basis for your own remoteStorage server, implementing the core HTTP behavior. Always supports the latest protocol version.
-
rs-serve

-

Basic remoteStorage server written in Ruby, storing data in PostgreSQL. Uses a deprecated version of the protocol (
