# filite
**THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNMAINTAINED AS I NO LONGER USE IT MYSELF AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR ENERGY TO COMMIT TO MAINTAINING IT. SORRY.**
> The `master` branch isn't actively maintained anymore, and the current development branch, `next`, will be merged into it in the near future.
A simple, light and standalone pastebin, URL shortener and file-sharing service that hosts **fi**les, redirects **li**nks and stores **te**xts.

## Features
### What it is
* Easy to use. Installation and set-up take less than a minute and a built-in web UI is provided.
* Standalone. No external dependencies required, everything that is needed is packed into the binary.
* Light and fast. The Rust web framework [Actix](https://actix.rs) is used under the hood, providing great speed with a minimal footprint.
### What it is not
* A tracking tool. No stats are stored to increase speed, reduce resource usage and maintain simplicity, if this is what you are looking for filite is not for you.
## Installation
1. Get the binary either from the [releases page](https://github.com/raftario/filite/releases) or [using Cargo](https://crates.io/crates/filite)
2. Run `filite init` to perform the initial setup (you can do this at any time to reset the config and password)
3. Edit your config file as you see fit (check the [dedicated section](#config) for details)
4. Run `filite`
That's it!
## Usage
When asked for a login, use whatever username you want and the password you provided during setup.
Details for programmatic usage are provided in [the dedicated section](#programmatic-usage).
## Planned features
* Decent test suite
* TLS support
* Simple admin page
* Multiple logins (?)
## Config
```toml
# Port to listen on
port = 8080
# SQLite database connection url
database_url = "database.db"
# SQLite database connection pool size
pool_size = 4
# Directory where to store static files
files_dir = "files"
# Highlight.js configuration
[highlight]
# Theme to use
theme = "github"
# Additional languages to include
languages = ["rust"]
```
## Client tools
### ShareX
- `` is the result of encoding `:` to base64
- `` is an arbitrary username, it doesn't matter
- `` is the password entered during setup
- `
` is the root address where the filite is running, for instance `http://localhost:8080` or `https://filite.raphaeltheriault.com`
#### File
```json
{
"Version": "13.0.1",
"Name": "filite (file)",
"DestinationType": "ImageUploader, FileUploader",
"RequestMethod": "POST",
"RequestURL": "
/f",
"Headers": {
"Authorization": "Basic "
},
"Body": "MultipartFormData",
"FileFormName": "file",
"URL": "/$response$"
}
```
#### Link
```json
{
"Version": "13.0.1",
"Name": "filite (link)",
"DestinationType": "URLShortener",
"RequestMethod": "POST",
"RequestURL": "
/l",
"Headers": {
"Authorization": "Basic "
},
"Body": "JSON",
"Data": "{\"forward\":\"$input$\"}",
"URL": "/l/$response$"
}
```
#### Text
> You can remove the prompt and always enable or disable syntax highlighting by replacing `$prompt:Highlight|false$` with `true` or `false`.
```json
{
"Version": "13.0.1",
"Name": "filite (text)",
"DestinationType": "TextUploader",
"RequestMethod": "POST",
"RequestURL": "
/t",
"Headers": {
"Authorization": "Basic "
},
"Body": "JSON",
"Data": "{\"contents\":\"$input$\",\"highlight\":$prompt:Highlight|false$}",
"URL": "/t/$response$"
}
```
## Reverse proxy
- `` is the domain the requests will be coming from, for instance `filite.raphaeltheriault.com`
- `` is the port on which filite is listening
> Upload limits are set to 10M as an example
### NGINX
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name ;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:;
location /f {
client_max_body_size 10M;
}
}
}
```
### Apache
```apache
ServerName
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:/
LimitRequestBody 10000000
```
## Programmatic usage
> All requests that require authentication use HTTP Basic Auth (without taking the username into account).
### Listing existing entries
It's possible to get an array of all existing entries for each type with an authenticated request.
- `GET /f`
- `GET /l`
- `GET /t`
You can view the created entries in a more organized manner with the third-party [filite-list](https://github.com/Syndamia/filite-list) script.
### Creating new entries
There are two ways to create new entries, `PUT` or `POST` requests.
`PUT` lets you choose the ID manually and `POST` assigns a free one automatically, but that's the only difference.
Both methods require authentication.
> `PUT` requests will overwrite any existing entry.
#### Files
- `PUT /f/{id}`
- `POST /f`
Files are sent as `multipart/form-data`. The field name isn't important but the file name needs to be included. Only one file is treated.
#### Links
- `PUT /l/{id}`
- `POST /l`
Links are sent as `application/json` according to the following schema.
```json
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Link",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"forward": {
"description": "URL this link forwards to",
"type": "string"
}
}
}
```
#### Texts
- `PUT /t/{id}`
- `POST /t`
Texts are sent as `application/json` according to the following schema.
```json
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Text",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"contents": {
"description": "Text contents",
"type": "string"
},
"highlight": {
"description": "Whether to enable code highlighting or not for that text",
"type": "boolean"
}
}
}
```
### Deleting entries
It's possible to delete any entry with an authenticated request.
- `DELETE /f`
- `DELETE /l`
- `DELETE /t`
## Contributing
The project is open to contributions! Before submitting a PR, make sure your changes work both with and without the `dev` feature enabled.
### Requirements
* The Rust toolchain
* [diesel_cli](https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/tree/master/diesel_cli) with the `sqlite` feature enabled
### Setup
1. Copy [`.env.example`](./.env.example) to `.env` and set the variables to your liking
2. Run `diesel database setup`
3. Build or run with the `dev` feature enabled
