🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Go 1.25 or later
Node.js 18+ (for frontend development)
Valid TLS certificates (or use self-signed for development)

Backend Setup

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/EslamYasser-Dev/simple-file-share.git
cd simple-file-share/backend

Install dependencies
```
go mod download
```

Configure environment variables

export FILE_SHARE_ROOT=/path/to/storage
export FILE_SHARE_USERNAME=admin
export FILE_SHARE_PASSWORD=securepassword
export JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key
export TLS_CERT_FILE=path/to/cert.pem
export TLS_KEY_FILE=path/to/key.pem

Run the server
```
go run cmd/server/main.go
```

Frontend Setup

Navigate to frontend directory
```
cd ../frontend
```
Install dependencies
```
npm install
```
Start development server
```
npm run dev
```

Docker Setup

Build and run with Docker Compose
```
docker-compose up --build
```

🛡️ Security Considerations

Always use strong passwords and JWT secrets
Keep TLS certificates up to date
Regularly audit file permissions
Monitor access logs for suspicious activity
Consider adding rate limiting in production
Validate all user inputs
Use environment variables for sensitive configuration

🔁 CI/CD

This repository uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and delivery.

CI Workflow: .github/workflows/ci.yml
- Builds and tests the backend (Go) on push/PR to master/main
- Builds the frontend (Vite/React) to ensure it compiles
- Publishes the frontend dist/ as a build artifact
Release Workflow: .github/workflows/release.yml
- Triggers on tags that match v*.*.* (e.g., v1.0.0)
- Builds a static Linux-amd64 backend binary at build/file-share-server
- Builds the frontend and packages it as build/frontend-dist.tar.gz
- Creates a GitHub Release and uploads both artifacts automatically

How to cut a release

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0
