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 ```config.original.php``` to ```config.local.php``` and customize it
76
77 ## Upgrade
78
79 ### General procedure for all versions
80
81 1. Backup your Jirafeau installation!
82 2. Block access to Jirafeau
83 3. Checkout the new version with Git using the [tagged release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags)
84 * If you have installed Jirafeau just by uploading files on your server, you can download the desired version, overwrite/remove all files and chown/chmod files if needed. Keep a backup of your local configuration file tough.
85 4. With you browser, go to your Jirafeau root page
86 5. Follow the installation wizard, it should propose you the same data folder or even update automatically
87 7. Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` and compare it with the ```/lib/config.original.php``` to see if new configuration items are available
88
89 ### From version 1.0 to 1.1
90
91 1. The download URL changed
92 * Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename ```file.php``` to ```f.php``` to make older, still existing links work again
93 1. The default theme changed
94 * Optionally change the theme in ```lib/config.local.php``` to »courgette«
95
96 ### From version 1.2.0 to 2.0.0
97
98 1. The "Terms of Service" text file changed
99 * To reuse previous changes to the ToS, move the old ```/tos_text.php``` file to ```/lib/tos.local.txt``` and remove all HTML und PHP Tags, leaving a regular text file
100
101 ### from version 2.0.0 to 3.3.0
102
103 There is nothing special to do to update from/to the following versions:
104 - 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0
105 - 3.0.0 -> 3.1.0
106 - 3.1.0 -> 3.2.0
107 - 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1
108 - 3.2.1 -> 3.3.0
109
110 ### Troubleshooting
111
112 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
113
114 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
115 - Check owner & permissions of your files
116
117 ## Security
118
119 ```var``` directory contain all files and links. It is randomly named to limit access but you may add better protection to prevent un-authorized access to it.
120 You have several options:
121 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
122 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
123 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
124
125 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
126
127 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
128
129 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
130
131 ```nginx
132 location ~ /var-.* {
133 deny all;
134 return 404;
135 }
136 ```
137
138 If you are using lighttpd, you can deny access to ```var``` folder in your configuration:
139
140 ```
141 $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/var-*" {
142 url.access-deny = ("")
143 }
144 ```
145
146 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
147 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).
148
149 ## Server side encryption
150
151 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).
152 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
153 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
154
155 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
156 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
157 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
158 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
159 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
160 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
161 - Don't forget to enable https.
162
163 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

188 ## FAQ
189
190 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
191
192 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
193
194 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/).
195
196 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
197
198 We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
199
200 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
201
202 See upgrade instructions above.
203
204 ### How can I limit upload access?
205
206 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
207 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
208 - 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
209
210 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).
211
212 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
213
214 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```.
215
216 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
217 ```
218 # m h dom mon dow user command
219 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
220 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
221 ```
222
223 ### I have some troubles with IE
224
225 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).
226
227 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
228
229 ### How can I change the theme?
230
231 You may change the default theme to any of the existing ones or a custom.
232
233 Open your ```lib/config.local.php``` and change setting in the »`style`« key to the name of any folder in the ```/media``` directory.
234
235 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.
236
237 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
238
239 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
240
241 ### How to set maximum file size?
242
243 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
244
245 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
246 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.
247
248 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)
249
250 ### How can I edit an option?
251
252 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
253 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
254
255 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
256
257 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)«.
258
259 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.
260
261 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
262
263 ### How can I access the admin interface?
264
265 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
266
267 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
268
269 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
270
271 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
272
273 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
274
275 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
276
277 ```nginx
278 http {
279 # disable max upload size
280 client_max_body_size 0;
281 # add timeouts for very large uploads
282 client_header_timeout 30m;
283 client_body_timeout 30m;
284 }
285 ```
286
287 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
288
289 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).
290
291 ### Why forking?
292
293 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
294
295 ### What can we expect in the future?
296
297 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
298
299 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
300
301 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
302
303 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
304
305 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
306
307 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
308
309 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
310
311 As explained in the previous question, files with the same md5 hash are not duplicated and a reference counter stores the number of links pointing to a single file.
312 So:
313 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
314 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
315
316 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
317
318 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
319
