# FileDrop V2 ?

## Story

this web app is a reengineering of [FileDrop V1](https://github.com/Noe-Favier/file_drop) 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).

## stuff i'll do

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

## Demo

FiledropV2 is running at [noais.fr](https://noais.fr) if u wanna see

# How to setup :

## .env

settings which can be set in [.env](.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 ?

## More conf

This project was realised with [rocket.rs](https://rocket.rs/). U will find the conf file of the web server in [Rocket.toml](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)*

### Changing secret_key

**IMPORTANT !**

on linux, run `openssl rand -base64 32` and replace the field 'secret_key' with the value returned by that command in [Rocket.toml](Rocket.toml).

More info about that [here](https://rocket.rs/v0.5-rc/guide/configuration/#secret-key).

# How to run

FileDrop is written in rust, you will be able to run it like a normal rust app.

if you need help :

- [install rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)

- [cargo run](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-run.html#examples)

## Docker
