QuadFile Version 2

A temporary (or permanent, depending on configuration) file sharing service written in Flask.

Features

• Automatically remove files that aren't accessed often enough
• Supports all filetypes
• Prevents duplicate filenames
• Works on all platforms (as long as they can use basic JavaScript)
• Both easy to set up and use
• Threaded for effective use of resources (Unless you're not on SSD, in which case, enjoy your I/O clogs m8)
• Color-coded and real-time console log
• Easy to use with most applications, such as ShareX

Requirements

Needed:

• Python 3 (Python 2 might work, dunno, i don't test that, don't care either)
• sqlite3 package for your OS (To create the database)
• Install flask, currently that should be the only requirement and hopefully forever (pip install -r requirements.txt)

Recommended:

• nginx, great for proxy_pass
• gunicorn, allows you to use QuadFile with multiple workers

Using the thing

Test deployment

• Clone the repo somewhere
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Do cp conf.py.sample conf.py
• Edit conf.py so that the information is correct
• sqlite3 files.db < schema.sql
• chmod +x run.py and then ./run.py
• ???
• PROFIT (Hopefully)

Production deployment

• Clone the repo somewhere
• Set up a virtual environment for QuadFile
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Do cp conf.py.sample conf.py
• Edit conf.py so that the information is correct
• sqlite3 files.db < schema.sql
• gunicorn wsgi:app -w 4 --bind 127.0.0.1:8282 --log-file $HOME/quadfile.log (Use supervisor to run it on boot if needed)
• Configure nginx and proxy_pass it to gunicorn
• ???
• PROFIT (Hopefully)
