Makeshift CDN is a simple API to host your own content whether that be an image, video, pdf, docfile, etc. On your own private server. It supports multi user by using accounts to store data for each individual seperately while at the same time maintaining security by implementing encryption. This API can be configured to support read-only so that other people may not use your API without permission or be opened to everyone.
PATHS
GET /register : Retrieves the token of a user. Requires username and password in raw body.
POST /register : Creates a new user. Requires username and password in raw body.
DELETE /register : Deletes a user and all data. Requires username and password in raw body.
POST /update/token : Updates the token for a user. Requires username and password in raw body.
POST /upload/single : Uploads a single file to the API. Requires token header.
GET /file/:id : Retrieves the file list a user has. Requires token header.
GET /file/:id/:filename : Retrieves a file from the database.
ENV
To host this on your own, simple clone the repository and create an env file with the following parameters:
URI = mongodb://XXXXXXXXXXX0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&w=majority
PORT = XXXX
ALLOWWRITE = true
If any of these env parameters are not provided, the API will NOT start or default to read-only.
The URI will be the connection URL to your mongoDB database and the ALLOWWRITE parameter will decide if other users may create a user on your client. Make sure you choose Node.JS version 2.2.12 or later in the MongoDB atlas or it won't connect.
File Restrictions
To improve security, you can configure what types of files are allowed to be uploaded in to the API. To change this, simply open restrictedFile.json in the root directory of the API, the add or delete extensions to your liking. However, I do recommend that you don't leave this empty since certain file types may be harmful. The following are an example of how your json file should look like.
[
"BAT",
"CMD,
"VB",
"VBS"
