1 # Jirafeau
2
3 Welcome to the official Jirafeau project, an [Open-Source software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software).
4
5 Jirafeau allows your to "one-click-filesharing". It makes possible to upload a file in a simple way and give an unique link to it.
6
7 A demonstration of the latest version is available on [jirafeau.net](https://jirafeau.net/).

29 - File level [Deduplication](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication) for storage optimization (does store duplicate files only once, but generate multiple links)
30 - Optional data encryption
31 - Small administration interface
32 - CLI script to remove expired files automatically with a cronjob
33 - Basic, adaptable »Terms Of Service« page
34 - Basic API

37
38 Jirafeau is a fork of the original project [Jyraphe](http://home.gna.org/jyraphe/) based on the 0.5 (stable version) with a **lot** of modifications.
39
40 As it's original project, Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
41
42 Jirafeau project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.

56 ## Installation
57
58 This shows how to install Jirafeau by your own, it's quite simple but you can
59 also use a [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/mojo42/jirafeau/) or build
60 it yourself. Check [docker folder](docker/README.md) for more informations.
61
62 System requirements:
63 - PHP >= 5.6
64 - Optional, but recommended: Git >= 2.7
65 - No database required, no mail required
66
67 Installation steps:
68 - Clone the [repository](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/) or download the latest [release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags) from GitLab onto your webserver
69 - Set owner & group according to your webserver
70 - A) Setup with the installation wizard (web):
71 - Open your browser and go to your installed location, eg. ```https://example.com/jirafeau/```
72 - The script will redirect to you to a minimal installation wizard to set up all required options
73 - All optional parameters may be set in ```lib/config.local.php```, take a look at ```lib/config.original.php``` to see all default values
74 - B) Setup without the installation wizard (cli):
75 - Just copy ```lib/config.original.php``` to ```lib/config.local.php``` and customize it
76
77 ### Troubleshooting
78
79 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
80
81 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
82 - Check owner & permissions of your files
83
84 ## Security
85
86 ```var``` directory contains all files and links. It is randomly named to limit access but you may add better protection to prevent un-authorized access to it.
87 You have several options:
88 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
89 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
90 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
91
92 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
93
94 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
95
96 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
97
98 ```nginx
99 location ~ /var-.* {
100 deny all;
101 return 404;
102 }
103 ```
104
105 If you are using lighttpd, you can deny access to ```var``` folder in your configuration:
106
107 ```
108 $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/var-*" {
109 url.access-deny = ("")
110 }
111 ```
112
113 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
114 An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS (make sure `web_root` in you `config.local.php` is set with https).
115
116 ## Server side encryption
117
118 Data encryption can be activated in options. This feature makes the server encrypt data and send the decryt key to the user (inside download URL).
119 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
120 Encryption is configured to use AES256 in OFB mode.
121 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
122
123 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
124 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
125 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
126 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
127 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
128 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
129 - Don't forget to enable https.
130
131 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

156 ## FAQ
157
158 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
159
160 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
161
162 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/jirafeau/).
163
164 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
165
166 Thanks to all contributors ! :)
167
168 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
169
170 See change log and upgrade procedure in [CHANGELOG.md](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
171
172 ### How can I limit upload access?
173
174 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
175 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
176 - you can configure a list of authorized IP ([CIDR notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#CIDR_notation)) which are allowed to access to the upload page
177
178 Check documentation of ```upload_password``` and ```upload_ip``` parameters in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
179
180 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
181
182 You can call the admin.php script from the command line (CLI) with the ```clean_expired``` or ```clean_async``` commands: ```sudo -u www-data php admin.php clean_expired```.
183
184 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
185 ```
186 # m h dom mon dow user command
187 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
188 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
189 ```
190
191 ### I have some troubles with IE
192
193 If you have some strange behavior with IE, you may configure [compatibility mode](http://feedback.dominknow.com/knowledgebase/articles/159097-internet-explorer-ie8-ie9-ie10-and-ie11-compat).
194
195 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
196
197 ### How can I change the theme?
198
199 You may change the default theme to any of the existing ones or a custom.
200
201 Open your ```lib/config.local.php``` and change setting in the »`style`« key to the name of any folder in the ```/media``` directory.
202
203 Hint: To create a custom theme just copy the »courgette« folder and name your theme »custom« (this way it will be ignored by git and not overwritten during updates). You are invited to enhance the existing themes and send pull requests however.
204
205 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
206
207 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
208
209 ### How to set maximum file size?
210
211 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
212
213 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
214 You have to set [post_max_size](https://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size) and [upload_max_filesize](https://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize) in your php configuration. Note that Nginx setups may requiere to configure `client_max_body_size`.
215
216 If you don't want to allow unlimited upload size, you can still setup a maximal file size in Jirafeau's setting (see ```maximal_upload_size``` in your configuration)
217
218 ### How can I edit an option?
219
220 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
221 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
222
223 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
224
225 The license text on the "Terms of Service" page, which is shipped with the default installation, is based on the »[Open Source Initiative Terms of Service](https://opensource.org/ToS)«.
226
227 To change this text simply copy the file [/lib/tos.original.txt](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/tos.original.txt), rename it to ```/lib/tos.local.txt``` and adapt it to your own needs.
228
229 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
230
231 ### How can I access the admin interface?
232
233 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
234
235 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
236
237 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
238
239 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
240
241 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
242
243 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
244
245 ```nginx
246 http {
247 # disable max upload size
248 client_max_body_size 0;
249 # add timeouts for very large uploads
250 client_header_timeout 30m;
251 client_body_timeout 30m;
252 }
253 ```
254
255 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
256
257 You may use Munin and simple scripts to collect the number of files in the Jirafeau instance as well as the disk space occupied by all the files. You can consult this [web page](https://blog.bandinelli.net/index.php?post/2016/05/15/Scripts-Munin-pour-Jirafeau).
258
259 ### Why forking?
260
261 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
262
263 ### What can we expect in the future?
264
265 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
266
267 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
268
269 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
270
271 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
272
273 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
274
275 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
276
277 In order to know if a newly uploaded file already exist, Jirafeau will hash the file using md5 by default but other methods are available (see `file_hash` documentation in `lib/config.original.php`).
278
279 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
280
281 As explained in the previous question, files with the same hash are not duplicated and a reference counter stores the number of links pointing to a single file.
282 So:
283 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
284 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
285
286 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
287
288 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
