🚀 Unlimited Storage: Your Gateway to Secure File Management

Welcome to Unlimited Storage, a robust solution for secure file upload, encryption, and retrieval.

🧩 Prerequisites

Before we dive in, there are a few things you need to have in place:

Docker: Install Docker based on your operating system:
Git: Install Git based on your operating system:
Verify installations: Verify Docker and Git beeing installed correctly:

(If you are on Windows and didn't restart your pc yet, do it now.)
- Open up your terminal and type:
```
docker --version
```
  It should now show the version of your Docker installation.
- Next, type:
```
git --version 
```
  If installed correctly, it should now show the corresponding version of your Git.
Discord: Create a Bot and select a channel:
- Go to your Discord Developer Portal and create a new application. In the Bot page, click on "Reset Token" and save your new Token somewhere safe.
- In the Privileged Gateway Intents section of the Bot page, enable all 3 Features:
  - PRESENCE INTENT
  - SERVER MEMBERS INTENT
  - MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT
- In the OAuth2 URL Generator page, click on the "Bot" checkbox in the SCOPES list. A new BOT PERMISSIONS list should appear below. Select the "Administrator" checkbox in the new list.
- Now scroll down to the newly Generated url and copy it.
- Create a new Discord Server and paste the previously generated link in any text-channel. Afterwards, click in the link and invite your new Discord bot to your new Server. The bot should now appear in the members section to the right.
- Copy the desired channel's ID by right-clicking your desired channel on the left. Save that ID for later.

To Setup your application, follow these simple steps:

Git Repository: Clone this repository and navigate into it:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/unlimited-storage.git

cd unlimited-storage

Docker Volume: This is our persistent storage for the database. Create a docker volume:
```
docker create volume file-db
```

Create a secure HEX-AES key using Python:

import os
key = os.urandom(32).hex()
print(key)

Environment Variables: Set the following environment variables in the .env file:
- SQL_VOLUME: This is the name of the volume you created in step 3. In our case, file-db.
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: This is the root password for MySQL. Keep it secret, keep it safe!
- SQL_USER: This is the username for the Database. For example, Spectron.
- SQL_DATABASE: This is the name of your MySQL database. You should leave it at file_upload for now.
- DC_CHANNEL: Your Discord channel awaits! Put your Discord channel ID here.
- DC_TOKEN: Use Discord integration by adding your bot token that you saved earlier here.
- AES_HEX_KEY: Your key for the file encryption. Enter the AES encryption key in hexadecimal format that you created in step 4.

If you carefully followed the previous steps, you are now ready to run the application:

Navigate to the unlimited-storage in your Terminal if you haven't already and type:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
It should now start downloading MySQL aswell as the unlimited-storage repo automatically and execute it automatically.
Verify the success by running:
```
docker ps
```
If everything done right, you should now see two containers running: - docker-db-1 - docker-app-1
🥳 Congrats! You can now visit your application in the browser, by opening:
- http://127.0.0.1:5005/upload for upload
- http://127.0.0.1:5005/retrieve for retrieving using the ID given after the upload
