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/).

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 skin changed
90 * Optionally change the skin 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 ### Troubleshooting
102
103 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
104
105 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
106 - Check owner & permissions of your files
107
108 ## Security
109
110 ```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.
111 You have several options:
112 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
113 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
114 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
115
116 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
117
118 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
119
120 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
121
122 ```nginx
123 location ~ /var-.* {
124 deny all;
125 return 404;
126 }
127 ```
128
129 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
130 An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS.
131
132 ## Server side encryption
133
134 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).
135 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
136 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
137
138 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
139 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
140 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
141 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
142 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
143 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
144 - Don't forget to enable https.
145
146 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

171 ## FAQ
172
173 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
174
175 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
176
177 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/).
178
179 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
180
181 We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
182
183 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
184
185 See upgrade instructions above.
186
187 ### How can I limit upload access?
188
189 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
190 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
191 - 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
192
193 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).
194
195 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
196
197 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```.
198
199 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
200 ```
201 # m h dom mon dow user command
202 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
203 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
204 ```
205
206 ### I have some troubles with IE
207
208 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).
209
210 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
211
212 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
213
214 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
215
216 ### How to set maximum file size?
217
218 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
219
220 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
221 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.
222
223 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)
224
225 ### How can I edit an option?
226
227 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
228 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
229
230 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
231
232 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)«.
233
234 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.
235
236 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
237
238 ### How can I access the admin interface?
239
240 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
241
242 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
243
244 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
245
246 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
247
248 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
249
250 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
251
252 ```nginx
253 http {
254 # disable max upload size
255 client_max_body_size 0;
256 # add timeouts for very large uploads
257 client_header_timeout 30m;
258 client_body_timeout 30m;
259 }
260 ```
261
262 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
263
264 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).
265
266 ### Why forking?
267
268 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
269
270 ### What can we expect in the future?
271
272 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
273
274 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
275
276 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
277
278 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
279
280 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
281
282 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
283
284 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
285
286 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.
287 So:
288 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
289 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
290
291 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
292
293 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
294
