pauly4it / files2cloud Goto Github PK

This is my ongoing project to build a Dropbox-like web-app.

This package is best run on Vagrant, using Vaprobash (or Homestead).

• Get Vaprobash and follow the instructions to set up
• Edit the VagrantFile:
  • change vb.name to a name of your choosing (e.g. Files2Cloud)
  • uncomment apache base
  • uncomment mysql
  • uncomment composer
  • uncomment laravel
• Run vagrant up from the directory in which the vagrant file is located. This will start a vm and will create a laravel directory with the latest Laravel build.
• Download this git repo as a zip file (or clone the repo into the laravel folder and skip the next two steps)
• Delete the contents of the laravel folder for Vaprobash
• Replace the contents of the laravel folder with this git repo
• Run vagrant halt and then vagrant up
• Navigate to 192.168.22.10.xip.io in your browser, and you should see the Log In/Register page for the app. There are no existing users.

• If the user is uploading a file that matches the name of an existing file, make the user aware that they'll overwrite the existing file (or give them a choice to rename the new file).
• Complete the file upload via an ajax request and avoid page refresh on form submit (alternatively this could be done in an iframe).
• Make the file upload size-limit configurable.
• Provide a progress indicator of the upload.
• Combine the log in/registration forms into one form that uses a UI switch to choose between one and the other without a page reload.
• Use Gulp and babelify to combine the React component files into an app.js file.
• Use npm to pull in dependencies (like React and jQuery).
• Allow a user to delete their files.
