transpo

A simple file sharing web application that is a total ripoff of inspired by the late Firefox Send which I miss very dearly.

Features:

• Upload files that will last for a given amount of time
• Option to limit the number of times a file can be downloaded before it expires
• Uses the IndexedDB API to commit large files to disk during download (saves memory)
• Option to password protect files
• Compresses multi-file uploads
• Client-side encryption and decryption of files (not bullet-proof, but a whole lot better than nothing)
• Themes (light and dark are inculded in this repository, but adding your own is trivial)

Notes:

• IndexedDB does not currently download the file from storage on Firefox (tested on 84)

TO-DO:

• Better error messages for the client
• Clean up my JavaScript (this was my first real JS project)

Installation and Setup:

1. Make sure you have cargo installed.
2. Clone this repository and navigate to its directory.
3. Adjust the settings in src/config.rs to your liking.
4. Build with cargo build --release and run with cargo run --release.
5. After getting it to work, you should probably set up your OS's init system to run transpo as a service.

Example Nginx config for transpo running on port 8080:

location /transpo/ {
  client_max_body_size 500M;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
  proxy_http_version 1.1;
  proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
  proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

map $http_upgrade {
        default upgrade;
        '' close;
}
