# Filestorage
|
|
|
|
This is a simple file storage and permanent archive service written in python using pyramid.
|
|
It allows people to drop off files through a REST API which are then assigned a UUIDv4 to link to.
|
|
This allows to easily achieve permanent links to files.
|
|
|
|
An easy to use web frontend for the api using jQuery is TBD.
|
|
|
|
##Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export VENV=/path/to/venv
|
|
python3 -m venv $VENV
|
|
$VENV/bin/pip install -e .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##Adapt the configuration
|
|
Check the contents of `settings.ini` to define what interface the service shall bind to.
|
|
Also location for files and the shelve database can be configured in there.
|
|
|
|
##Run the application
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$VENV/bin/pserve settings.ini --reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--reload` option is optional and helpful for development purposes.
|
|
Also, different wsgi servers can be used. (More about that later)
