Lumen is an astronomically fast ShareX uploader written in Rust using the Actix Web framework. It is designed to be lightweight and secure, providing a self-hosted solution for file uploads.
All uploads are encrypted with AES-256-GCM-SIV and only the uploader can decrypt the files.
Note: Lumen is currently in development and may not be stable. Use at your own risk.

Make sure to update the values in the configuration file to match your Lumen installation.
These benchmarks were performed on a Ryzen 9 3900X with 32GB of RAM. Feel free to run the benchmarks yourself by running cargo bench in the project directory with a release server running.
WARNING: The benchmark will create many 1MB files, and will DELETE ALL uploads by the test user when it is finished.
