Uplaud (portmanteau of Upload and Applaud) is a service you can run to upload text and files to. It was made because I've explored many public file shares and none of them provide a quick, simple way to visit the files you've just uploaded on another device. You either need to sign in to an account with a mandatory email and long, complex password, or you need to remember an unituitive token like Fje3dBv. Uplaud solves this. It asks for a username and password, merely 1+ characters in length, to hide your ephemeral uploaded data. Also, despite a passwords' potential to be meaningless here, they are still encrypted with scrypt in case you want them to be meaningful.

Right now, it looks like this.

Rename rename_to_configs.py to configs.py and set the variables inside that file.

Consider changing route limits. Look for both routed wrapped in @limiter.limit.

Install Redis for rate limiting.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf # set line `supervised no` to `supervised systemd`
sudo systemctl restart redis
sudo systemctl status redis

Change redis://localhost:6379 if needed.

To delete the expired records, set up a cronjob with sudo crontab -e.
