This is a simple file storage web app that I will build live on YouTube.
It will allow you to upload files to a web server and retrieve them later. It’ll have a web interface along with a CLI tool to upload.
This project will be built using Python 3.10 and will use SQLite for storage. I’ll be using FastAPI for the web app, HTTPX for web requests, and Typer for the CLI. For styling the web app I’ll use Bootstrap.
You will need to have Poetry installed. It will handle installing all of the package dependencies for the project. Once you have Poetry use the following commands to run the File Storage Service.
poetry install
poetry run python -m server- REST API using FastAPI
- CLI to upload/download files using Typer & HTTPX
- Build a simple web app using FastAPI
- Create a custom TCP protocol for syncing folders
- Create a background service that keeps a folder synced
