2
3 Welcome to the official Jirafeau project, an [Open-Source software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software).
4
5 Jirafeau is a project permitting a "one-click-filesharing", which makes it 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](http://jirafeau.net/).

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 System requirements:
59 - PHP >= 5.6
60 - Optional, but recommended: Git >= 2.7
61 - No database required, no mail required
62
63 Installation steps:
64 - Clone the [repository](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/) or download the latest ([release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags) from GitLab onto your webserver
65 - Set owner & group according to your webserver
66 - A) Setup with the installation wizard (web):
67 - Open your browser and go to your installed location, eg. ```https://example.com/jirafeau/```
68 - The script will redirect to you to a minimal installation wizard to set up all required options
69 - All optional parameters may be set in ```lib/config.local.php```, take a look at ```lib/config.original.php``` to see all default values
70 - B) Setup without the installation wizard (cli):
71 - Just copy ```config.original.php``` to ```config.local.php``` and customize it
72
73 ## Upgrade
74
75 ### General procedure for all versions
76
77 1. Backup your Jirafeau installation!
78 2. Block access to Jirafeau
79 3. Checkout the new version with Git using the [tagged release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags)
80 * 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.
81 4. With you browser, go to your Jirafeau root page
82 5. Follow the installation wizard, it should propose you the same data folder or even update automatically
83 7. Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` and compare it with the ```/lib/config.original.php``` to see if new configuration items are available
84
85 ### From version 1.0 to 1.1
86
87 1. The download URL changed
88 * Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename ```file.php``` to ```f.php``` to make older, still existing links work again
89 1. The default theme changed
90 * Optionally change the theme in ```lib/config.local.php``` to »courgette«
91
92 ### From version 1.2.0 to 2.0.0
93
94 1. The "Terms of Service" text file changed
95 * 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
96
97 ### From version 2.0.0 to 3.0.0
98
99 1. No special change to upgrade to 3.0.0
100
101 ### From version 3.0.0 to 3.1.0
102
103 1. No special change to upgrade to 3.1.0
104
105 ### From version 3.1.0 to 3.2.0
106
107 1. No special change to upgrade to 3.2.0
108
109 ### Troubleshooting
110
111 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
112
113 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
114 - Check owner & permissions of your files
115
116 ## Security
117
118 ```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.
119 You have several options:
120 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
121 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
122 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
123
124 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
125
126 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
127
128 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
129
130 ```nginx
131 location ~ /var-.* {
132 deny all;
133 return 404;
134 }
135 ```
136
137 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
138 An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS.
139
140 ## Server side encryption
141
142 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).
143 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
144 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
145
146 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
147 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
148 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
149 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
150 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
151 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
152 - Don't forget to enable https.
153
154 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

179 ## FAQ
180
181 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
182
183 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
184
185 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/).
186
187 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
188
189 We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
190
191 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
192
193 See upgrade instructions above.
194
195 ### How can I limit upload access?
196
197 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
198 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
199 - 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
200
201 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).
202
203 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
204
205 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```.
206
207 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
208 ```
209 # m h dom mon dow user command
210 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
211 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
212 ```
213
214 ### I have some troubles with IE
215
216 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).
217
218 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
219
220 ### How can I change the theme?
221
222 You may change the default theme to any of the existing ones or a custom.
223
224 Open your ```lib/config.local.php``` and change setting in the »`style`« key to the name of any folder in the ```/media``` directory.
225
226 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.
227
228 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
229
230 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
231
232 ### How to set maximum file size?
233
234 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
235
236 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
237 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.
238
239 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)
240
241 ### How can I edit an option?
242
243 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
244 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
245
246 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
247
248 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)«.
249
250 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.
251
252 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
253
254 ### How can I access the admin interface?
255
256 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
257
258 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
259
260 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
261
262 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
263
264 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
265
266 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
267
268 ```nginx
269 http {
270 # disable max upload size
271 client_max_body_size 0;
272 # add timeouts for very large uploads
273 client_header_timeout 30m;
274 client_body_timeout 30m;
275 }
276 ```
277
278 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
279
280 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).
281
282 ### Why forking?
283
284 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
285
286 ### What can we expect in the future?
287
288 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
289
290 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
291
292 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
293
294 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
295
296 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
297
298 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
299
300 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
301
302 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.
303 So:
304 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
305 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
306
307 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
308
309 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
310
