# About
The volunteergrid is a tahoe storage grid from users for users. Contrary to the [TestGrid](TestGrid)–which may be flushed at any time for development/testing reasons–the volunteergrid is meant as a stable alternative to the commercial [allmydata.com grid](http://allmydata.com/). It was [proposed by Eugene L.](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001248.html) in February 2009 and an introducer [was set up](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001341.html) by Zooko after the idea received a fair amount of praise. This introducer unfortunately died when nooxie's upgrade went wrong. A [new, more resilient, introducer](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-December/003290.html) was implemented by [François Deppierraz]mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch in December 2009.

There are usually between 10 and 15 active server nodes, but new nodes are always welcome.
# Setting up a volunteergrid (storage) node
* Follow the [install instructions](http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html)
* If your storage server is behind a firewall/NAT, please set up port forwarding to your *tub.port* and point *tub.location* to your external IP address (see [configuration](http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/configuration.txt)).
