cryptify

Introduction

Cryptify offers file encryption/decryption based on IRMA attributes. It allows you to encrypt any file with an attribute and only people with that attribute can view the contents.

Docker development setup

To run a development setup:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

To run a production-like setup:

docker-compose up

Frontend

Development setup

• Clone the project

  git clone git@github.com:privacybydesign/cryptify.git
  

• Install nodejs 14 and rust

  # On Debian / Ubuntu
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
  

• Goto the cryptify-front-end folder and install dependencies

  npm install
  

Running the front-end

• Change the baseurl constant in FileProvider.ts to http://localhost:3000. This way the front-end uses the locally running backend.

• Start the development server

  npm run start
  

Packaging webpage

• Build the web site

  npm run build
  

Packaging electron

• Package electron installers

  npm run dist-electron
  

Backend

Configuration

For the back-end to be able to send e-mail and store files, the following environment variables are needed:

• ROCKET_CONFIG: The path to the configuration file (example in conf/)

Build

The backend can be built using:

env ROCKET_ENV={development,production} cargo build

The backend can be run using:

env ROCKET_CONFIG={path_to_config} ./target/{release,debug}/cryptify-backend

Get a development setup using:

env ROCKET_ENV=development ROCKET_CONFIG={path_to_config} cargo watch -x run
