jus is a file upload/sharing system made to be effective and simple both for its users and its admins, without requiring Javascript, databases, or relying on redirects or extra unnecessary hoops.
Users can just upload one or multiple files, get a direct link to them and share it.
Admins can just put the source wherever they want, configure the two or three options, and clean up the old files any way they like.
Source and configuration should ideally live outside your document root, but if you don't know what this means just put everything in your web directory.
You can then rename the www directory to whatever you like, as well as the index.php file provided
they stay at the same place relative to inc/ and cfg/.
Copy cfg/config.inc.php.dist to cfg/config.inc.php and tweak it (more on this later).
If you want to be able to use PUT queries to upload files with curl, you will have to set put.php as
the PUT handler script for Apache (it can work with Nginx as well, but you will have to research it yourself).
This means enabling mod_actions and adding Script PUT /put.php in your virtual host section.
If you're going to host this on Free.fr's free hosting, you should first put the following in a file
named .htaccess in your web directory:
<IfDefine Free>
php56 1
</IfDefine>
Then you should probably change the configuration defaults:
upload_directory is where the uploaded files with be saved. Use __DIR__ to be sure to have a
path relative to this config file. Ideally, this should be outside of the document root for jus.
upload_server is the prefix that will be given to uploaded files. If you have a different virtual host
for serving uploaded files, which I recommend in order to make sure nobody messes up with your jus
by uploading Javascript or HTML which will get executed in the browser security context of the main site,
then this option should have the name of this file serving virtual host. In my case, jus lives at up.ÿ.fr
and my upload_server is down.ÿ.fr, configured to have upload_directory as its document root.
max_size is the maximum size to accept for files. Don't forget to adjust your php.ini settings as well,
relevant options are post_max_size, upload_max_filesize and max_file_uploads.
There are three different ways for a user to upload a file on jus.
The most obvious is clicking the Select your file button, selecting one or more files, and clicking Up. Once the upload is finished, the links to the files are shown.
If PUT is correctly configured on your server, another way is to type this from command-line:
curl -T <file> https://url-to-jus
If it is not, curl can still upload easily enough using POST:
curl -F "file[]"=@<file> https://url-to-jus
When using curl, the output will just contain the paths to the upload files, one by line.
jus will put files in upload_directory under subdirectories, one for each day. So something uploaded
on the 18th of August in 2017 would be in files/2017-08-18. If you want to limit the duration the files
are available on your server, it should be easy enough to have a cron that every day removes the folder of
today minus 30 days, or minus 365 or 12 000 days.
Something like:
rm -rf "/path/to/jus/files/$(date --date='30 days ago' +'%Y-%m-%d')"
in your cron.
