This is a simple file storage and permanent archive service written in python using pyramid. It allows people to drop off files through a REST API which are then assigned a UUIDv4 to link to. This allows to easily achieve permanent links to files.
An easy to use web frontend for the api using jQuery is TBD.
##Install dependencies
export VENV=/path/to/venv
python3 -m venv $VENV
$VENV/bin/pip install -e .
##Adapt the configuration
Check the contents of settings.ini to define what interface the service shall bind to.
Also location for files and the shelve database can be configured in there.
##Run the application
$VENV/bin/pserve settings.ini --reload
The --reload option is optional and helpful for development purposes.
Also, different wsgi servers can be used. (More about that later)
