A simple web service for uploading and retrieving files with minimal setup and tedium. Inspired by pomf.se and its clones, but with accounts, directories and filenames - a poor man's Google Drive. Powered by Rocket, React and Redux.
Install a nightly Rust toolchain with rustup.
Install and start a PostgreSQL server and create a database.
Run npm run build in the js directory.
Set the following environment variables:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://you@server:port/base
ADMIN_USERNAME=initial_username_for_the_admin_account
ADMIN_EMAIL=youremail@yourprovider.com
ADMIN_PASSWORD=at_least_sixteen_characters_long
ROCKET_SECRET_KEY=[cryptographic key as a 256-bit base64 encoded string]Run the server with cargo run.
Optionally create an .env file and fill it with the environment variables listed above.
Run cargo build to build the server and cargo run to run it, then in js/ run npm run watch to have Webpack watch the JS code and rebundle it when it changes.
Go back to the project root and start the server.
Alternatively, if you're on Linux and have just, run:
$ just developwhich takes care of all of the above for you - it starts the PostgreSQL SystemD service if it's not on yet, builds the server, runs the app.js build script with npm and finally starts the server.
