blyf

A basic fileserver for uploading and downloading small files.

Attention!

This project is still work in progress!

Testing

You can either install the go binary on your machine (https://go.dev/doc/install) or use the testing.sh script.

Using the sript

Attention: The run_go.sh script needs podman to be installed on your machine and the go image needs to be downloaded.

Making the script executable

chmod +x run_go.sh

Running the script

The testing script allows you to directly use a docker image and run the application inside it. This can be useful if you don't want to install the go binaries on your machine and you cannot build a docker image. Depending weather you want to run directly the go file or you want to build you go project into a binary, run the following:

./run_go.sh go run ./cmd/server/main.go

./run_go.sh go build -o blyf ./cmd/server/

Or just use ./run_go.sh go to run the go cli and see what commands are available.

Using the docker image

You can run the application via docker. First, you need to build the application:

# you can use either docker or podman
docker build -t blyf:dev . # or use whatever tag you prefer

Second, run the application:

docker run blyf:dev

Or you can run one of the dev shell scripts:

# depending on which container runtime you have, use either one
./dev_docker.sh
./dev_podman.sh

Double check if the files are executable. If not run:

chmod +x <script>

Testing the file upload

When just using the terminal, you can use either curl or the e2e_testing.sh script. When using the e2e_testing shell script, double check if it is executable, beforehand. When running curl commands, you can do something like this:

curl -X POST -F "file=@ test.txt" http://localhost:8080/upload

Ultimately, the e2e_testing script does more or less the same.
