Simple storage server with a wasm front end

Goal

The goal of this project is to make a db-like local storage system for files.

It does not implement any security as it's not designed to be facing the user directly

// Compressed data node :D

Status

• Backend It works well.
  Streaming compression and decompression makes it really fast and efficient

  Could really use a dashboard system

• Front-end Uses streaming for upload so it's fast
  A good design is still needed
  But it works

Roadmap

• The actual server
  • Web server that we can upload files to
  • Web server that we can download files from
  • Streaming upload, download and compression
  • Integration with curl #6
  • Simple download link #7
• WASM front end
  • Homepage
  • Upload

Notes

Idk if any security is needed (ouside something against DDoS or spam but i wont do that here)

About file size, we really should set a limit, even like a rly high one, but a limit is needed.
(See the file default.limit in Rocket.toml)

How to use

First, download the projects with

git clone https://github.com/bowarc/storage_server
cd ./storage_server

Build

In each build script (./scripts, you'll find mode=debug # debug, release at the top,
replace debug with release to build a more optimized version of the program (build time will be slower)

Start by running sh scripts/init.sh
This will create some important folders in the project directory, which the server relies on.

Build everything

sh scripts/build.sh

Build back

sh scripts/build_back.sh

Build front

sh scripts/build_front.sh

Run

To run the server, use sh scripts/run.sh
⚠️ Make sure the front it built, else the server wont be able to serve any web user

CURL

Upload

curl --upload_file ./file.ext http://<YOUR_ADDRESS:YOUR_PORT>/

This yields back an uuid that is used by the server to identify that file

Download

curl http://<YOUR_ADDRESS:YOUR_PORT>/<UUID>/file.ext -O

NOTE: On browser you only need the UUID as it auto redirects to the right file name (http://<YOUR_ADDRESS:YOUR_PORT>/<UUID> -> http://<YOUR_ADDRESS:YOUR_PORT>/<UUID>/file.ext).
Take a look at #7 for more informations.
