upfi: file management server

Goal

The goal of the project is to create an easy to setup file hosting service. The idea is that anyone with a linux computer can setup a upfi-instance!

Setup

You will need to create a database and configure an environment variables file. Here is a example of the .env file. All of the fields below must be added to the .env for the service to work.

#.env
db_name=upfi
db_port=5432
db_host=localhost
port=8080
db_user=postgres
root_dir=/home/username/go/src/github.com/nireo/upfi/

The root dir is there since I found some problems with relative file paths. Such that the project uses a util function which appends the 'root_dir' variable to all of the paths.

To use a different database than postgres, check out the documentation of gorm.

Now you can just run the app.

go run main.go

TODO

Make the service more secure and follow security best practices.
Do some input validation to make sure user's don't post too long inputs.
Add a success page to remove the bug with redirecting.
Make the encryption key map to a single file rather than being global for the user.
Make it optional to encrypt a file such that the user can possibly share it.
