uploader

This is a very basic (private) file uploader and (public) host that's still in development. You can only upload files with a key specified in the config, but everyone can open the link.

Notable Features

• Filetypes are automatically inferred
• Special views for text and audio files

Building and Running

• Create a config.toml and configure your instance:

bind = "127.0.0.1:4833"
file_dir = "uploads"
domain = "https://i.nerixyz.de"
# You can use anything here really.
# Make sure the header is sufficiently long.
authorization = "Bearer <token>"
# Base64, Used for deletion links
# Must be 28bytes (224bit) long
# Use e.g. `openssl rand -base64 28` to generate
secret = "..."

• Build/Run the project cargo b -r or cargo r -r

Cleaning

To clean files, use the clean subcommand - cargo r -r -- clean:

$ cargo r -r -- clean --help
Clean the oldest files

Usage: uploader clean [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -a, --max-age <MAX_AGE>  Files older than this age will be removed [default: 1y]
      --dry-run            Don't remove files, print them to stdout
  -m, --metric <METRIC>    Which metric of a file to use to determine its age [default: modified] [possible values: accessed, modified, created]
  -h, --help               Print help

Usage

You can upload either by sending a multipart/form-data request to /upload (the first field will be used) or by sending a POST request to /upload. In both cases a valid Authorization header must be used.
