SFS - Simple file system

Simple file server (web-based) to be used easily with curl. Written in python with framework flask. By default it used a simple SQLite database, but this can be adapted to your needs by editing config files.

Scripts to use with bash and curl are available in the scripts folder. You can set your default server, username and password in the header of the script.

Installation

1. Create a virtual environment venv (python3 -m venv venv)
2. Activate (. venv/bin/activate)
3. Install prerequisite python packages (pip install -r requirements.txt)
4. You will have to create a folder to store uploaded files (default is ./data)
5. Copy files settings.example.cfg and settings.example.py to settings.cfg and settings.py and adjust parameters
6. You can start the test server with python fs.py

Configuration an deployment

For deployment, see Flask documentation.

Configuration of uploading server and limitation of file size, as well as listening url for web server is configured in settings.py. Configuration of database is done in settings.cfg (use of SQLAlchemy, see corresponding documentation for advanced parameterizations).

Principe

• fs.py is the core file
• db.py defines the database structure
• templates folder contains all web views to be rendered with Jinja2
• static folder contains scripts, css and images

If at running time, there is no user in database, a first user is created with admin rights. The login is admin and password is admin. You have to change it before deployment, of course !
