Filebin2 is a web application that facilitates convenient file sharing over the web. It is the software that powers https://filebin.net. It is still in development status and will see breaking changes.
A couple of (in hindsight) bad architectural decisions in the previous version of filebin paved the road for filebin2. Filebin2 is using a PostgreSQL database to handle meta data and S3 to store files. I decided to move to a new repository because of breaking changes from the previous verson of filebin.
The development environment consists of one PostgreSQL instance, one MinIO object storage instance and an instance of filebin2. The easiest way to set up this environment is to clone this repository and do:
docker-compose up --buildThis will make:
- Filebin2 available on http://localhost:8080/.
- Filebin2 admin available on http://admin:changeme@localhost:8080/admin.
- MinIO available on http://localhost:9000/.
- PostgreSQL available on
localhost:5432.
If this argument is set, then an administrator needs to manually approve new bins before files and archives can be downloaded. Bin and file operations except downloading are accepted while a bin is pending approval. This is a mechanism added to limit abuse.
The API request used to approve a bin is an authenticated PUT /admin/approve/{bin}
