+# Decentralized Remotely Accessed Memory
+
+Ever joked about [downloading more RAM](https://downloadmoreram.com/)? 🤣 Well, buckle up, because we're making that meme a reality! Imagine "donating" RAM from one machine to another across a network like a digital octopus 🐙, each tentacle a server sharing a slice of RAM. Each machine becomes both a donor and recipient in this wild, decentralized RAM-sharing bonanza!
+
+**Here's the deal:** we use a [tmpfs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmpfs) on the donor machine to pretend a chunk of its RAM is a hard drive. Then, we get fancy with [NFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System) to share this faux-drive over the network 🌐. On the recipient's side, we mount this networked RAM-drive and set up a swap file - it's like tricking your computer into thinking it's got extra RAM, borrowed from its buddy next door 🤝💻.
+
+The result? A quirky, decentralized memory-sharing network where servers can lend and borrow RAM from each other, sort of like a high-tech, communal memory bank 🏦🧠. It's not just theoretically hilarious, but also a little bit genius in a "why not?" way 😜.
+
+Remember, with great power comes great responsibility... and also the risk of network hiccups turning your RAM-sharing dream into a digital chaos midnight! 💀💾🕛
+
+## The make-it-happen Magic
+#### Setup RAM Donator
+1. Create an entry in `/etc/fstab` to create the RAM partition:
+
+`tmpfs /mnt/ramote_send tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,nodiratime,size=1G 0 0`
+
+**Note:** Change `1G` to the amount of RAM you want to donate.
+
+2. Create the RAM partition directory & mount it:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /mnt/ramote_send
+mount /mnt/ramote_send
+```
+
+3. Download & install an NFS server daemon of your choice:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
+```
+
+4. Configure & start the NFS server:
+- Edit your `/etc/exports` file:
+
+`/mnt/ramote_send <client-ip>(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)`
+
+- Start & enable the service:
+
+```bash
+systemctl start nfs-kernel-server
+systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server
+```
+
+---
+
+#### Setup RAM Receiver
+1. Create a directory & mount the NFS:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /mnt/ramote_recv
+mount <nfs-server-ip>:/mnt/ramote_send /mnt/ramote_recv
+```
+
+2. Create & enable a swap file inside the NFS directory:
+```bash
+dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ramote_recv/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
+chmod 600 /mnt/ramote_recv/swapfile
+mkswap /mnt/ramote_recv/swapfile
+swapon /mnt/ramote_recv/swapfile
+```
+
+**Note:** Change the swap file size according to what you allocated on the donator.
+
+3. Create an entry in `/etc/fstab` to for the NFS mount & the swap file:
+
+```
+<nfs-server-ip>:/mnt/ramote_send /mnt/ramote_recv nfs defaults 0 0
+/mnt/ramote_recv/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
+```
+
+You can do this across various machines & use multiple swap files for decentralize even more.
