!!! UNDER CONSTRUCTION !!!

A flask file server with an elegant frontend for

• browsing,
• uploading and streaming
• copying, moving, deleting

• sending files

Files are stored in a non-redundant way by symlinks.

Additional custom actions can be implemented for several events.

docker run -v /target/folder/on/host:/data -p 8000:8000 zellerede/flask-file-server

FS_BIND = Param for bind address, default 0.0.0.0
FS_PORT = Param for server port, default 8000
FS_PATH = Param for serve path, default /data FS_KEY = Param for authentication key as base64 encoded username:password, default none

docker run -v /data:/data -v /path/to/custom_actions:/src -p 8000:8000 -e FS_BIND=0.0.0.0 -e FS_PORT=8000 -e FS_PATH=/tmp -e FS_KEY=dGVzdDp0ZXN0 zellerede/flask-file-server

For usage, see example/custom_actions.py.

pip install -r requirements.txt

docker build -t zellerede/flask-file-server:latest .

• Add tests!!
• Refactor existing code
• Add pure json answers
• Add custom actions for events like before/after file upload/download, copy/move/delete
• Introduce Backend Database for file annotations, checksums and filesets
• Introduce Fileset Replication (through e.g. /api/fileset//replicate?to= --> /api/fileset/receive, later: predefined authenticated connections)
• Enhance authentication: Role Based Access for base folders 'repositories' (as a prototype we might simply use different Unix users) -- see e.g. https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/restful-authentication-with-flask
