this web app is a reengineering of FileDrop V1 which is a rust app created without any dependency.
Here, FileDrop V2 was realized with A LOT of lib (the most i could). Furthermore, it was realised insanely faster (and working better) (4Hours for V2 // +10Hours V1) to achieve the same thing (even if i was learning the language in the first place).
just finishing another project rn but i'll add those features next :
- security (locking specific files with psswd) (+ an optional master password to get on the app)
- admin panel (in order to have some stats + setup security psswds)
- upload button
- a CSS rework (drop bootstrap + responsive)
- stay "easy to setup" and multiplatform
FiledropV2 is running at noais.fr if u wanna see
settings which can be set in .env :
- files_path : (default :
/var/file_drop_files) > path to the folder where files will be stored - allow_create : (default :
true) > is FileDrop allowed to create that dir if it doesn't exists ?
This project was realised with rocket.rs. U will find the conf file of the web server in Rocket.toml.
for example, u will be able to :
- change the port
- enable tls (=https) (if you can) (i would do a reverse proxy)
- change the secret key (see below)
IMPORTANT !
on linux, run openssl rand -base64 32 and replace the field 'secret_key' with the value returned by that command in Rocket.toml.
More info about that here.
FileDrop is written in rust, you will be able to run it like a normal rust app.
if you need help :
docker run -p 80:8000 --name filedrop -it -d noecl/filedrop
