file-proxy

This is a prototype file proxy web server. Theory of operation:

By calling a GET REST API endpoint and giving a path that matches a Radicle Git repository, this web app will download the Git repository from a Radicle Seed node, and will serve the file to requester.

This is a quick and dirty prototype, to prove that the concept is possible. This code repository is forked from a this ipfs-service-provider template.

Usage

Making a REST API call like this:

• GET file/pine.radicle.garden/hnrkcahyaj8apybx4p4px5h4r1r4y1fu7t6fy/add-1.0.0.tgz

wget example:

• wget http://localhost:5020/files/pine.radicle.garden/hnrkcahyaj8apybx4p4px5h4r1r4y1fu7t6fy/add-1.0.0.tgz
• wget http://fullstackbch.nl:5020/files/pine.radicle.garden/hnrkcahyaj8apybx4p4px5h4r1r4y1fu7t6fy/add-1.0.0.tgz

Will download the corresponding Git repository:

• git clone pine.radicle.garden/hnrkcahyaj8apybx4p4px5h4r1r4y1fu7t6fy.git

And it will return the add-1.0.0.tgz from that repository.

Note: The file requested must exist in the repositories root directory.

Installation

This code expects node.js v16+ to be installed on the host operating system.
