Getting started

Cloud is a golang application and you are going to need golang toolchain to compile the app.

To install or update run:

go get -u github.com/ap4y/cloud/cmd/cloud

Web UI is implemented using react and is pre-bundled into golang app. To setup local development environment for react app you will need node.js with either npm or yarn.

To pull react app dependecies run:

cd app
npm install

To start local development setup:

cd app
npm start

This will start creat-react web server on a port 3000, you can proxy local cloud app to it using -devURL argument.

Configuration

Cloud uses json config files to setup authentication and necessary paths. Sample config:

{
  "jwt_secret": "secret",
  "modules": ["gallery"],
  "users": {
    "ap4y": "$2b$10$fEWhY87kzeaV3hUEB6phTuyWjpv73V5m.YcqTxHXnvqEGIou1tXGO"
  },
  "share": {
    "path": "./"
  },
  "gallery": {
    "path": "/mnt/media/Photos/Export/",
    "cache": "/tmp/cloud/"
  },
  "files": {
    "path": "/mnt/media/Photos/Export/"
  }
}

Configuration fields:

• jwt_secret is a secret used for JWT (HS256 algorithm) related operations.
• modules defines enabled modules.
• users defines bcrypt hashes for user credentials, you can use mkpasswd to hash your passwords.
• share setups a share storage. path defines storage location for a disk share storage.
• gallery defines necessary paths for the gallery module. path is a gallery source folder and cache is a thumbnail cache folder.
• files defines necessary paths for the files module. path is a source folder for this module.

Additionally following command line arguments are supported:

• -config cloud.json - path to a config file.
• -addr :8080 - address to listen on.
• -devURL - enables proxy mode for a local react development server.

Gallery

Gallery provides common image gallery features: image grid, thumbnails and full screen previews. Gallery traverses provided path on a disk and exposes folders with images as shareable galleries. Thumbnails are generated on the fly and cached for subsequent use.

Files

Files provides file viewer interface with a basic management features. Files module traverses provided path on a disk and construct a tree, parts of the tree can be individually shared.
