#Video media server

Distribution of media segments from the local disc and S3

When processing a request this will first check to see if it can find the requested file locally and fail over to searching an S3 bucket with the same name as the path to the file. Used as an application main.go is compiled and consumes the spalkfs package to run a static file server configured using environment varibles. The spalkfs package can be used directly in other applications to provide this functionality alongside application logic or more detaild tracking (an example of this can be found in the listener-handler )

##Configuration

Configuration of the executable is done using with following environment variables (with defaults):

Key	Default value	Notes
SPALK_FS_DISABLE_S3_FAILOVER	""	set to contain anything other than "" to disable failover to S3
SPALK_FS_ORIGIN_RESTRICT	"*"	Sets the http "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" http header
S3_REGION	"ap-southeast-2"
VFS_ERRBIT_KEY	"d8b27488dbca7306ad182ff2db2f53d4"	this is the dev project key for errbit
VFS_S3_BUCKET_FAILOVER	"spalk-video-archive"	S3 bucket. Authentication is done using IAM roles
VFS_HTTPS_BIND_ADDRESS	"0.0.0.0:443"	0.0.0.0 is required to bind to external interfaces
VFS_HTTP_BIND_ADDRESS	":8458"	localhost:port
VFS_CERT_FILE_PATH	""	setting both the cert and key file paths causes the application to use ssl encryption
VFS_KEY_FILE_PATH	""
VFS_MEDIA_DIR	"public"	The binary should be deployed to the parent of the directory where the media is stored, in this case named public. It will also use "public" if the value is set to "." or ".." for security reasons

##Build

This application is built by running go build main.go -o \<desired file name> in the src directory or build and run using go run main.go
