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 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/).

33 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.
34
35 As it's original project, Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
36
37 Jirafeau project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.

51 ## Installation
52
53 - [Download](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/repository/archive.zip) the last version of Jirafeau from GitLab
54 - Upload files on your web server
55 - Don't forget to set owner of uploaded files if you need to
56 - Get your web browser and go to you install location (e.g. ```http://your-web-site.org/jirafeau/```) and follow instructions
57 - Some options are not configured from the minimal installation wizard, you may take a look at option documentation in ```lib/config.original.php``` and customize your ```lib/config.local.php```
58
59 Note that ```lib/config.local.php``` is auto-generated during the installation.
60
61 If you don't want to go through the installation wizard, you can just copy ```config.original.php``` to ```config.local.php``` and customize it.
62
63 ## Update
64
65 ### General
66
67 1. Backup you Jirafeau installation
68 2. Block access to Jirafeau
69 3. Checkout new version using the [tagged release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags)
70 4. With you browser, go to your Jirafeau root page
71 5. Follow installation wizard, it should propose you the same data folder
72 7. Go in you lib/config.local.php and lib/config.original.php to check new options
73
74 ### From version 1.0 to 1.1
75
76 1. Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename file.php to f.php to make old url work again
77 2. Eventually change skin in »lib/config.local.php« to 'courgette'
78
79 ### From version 1.1 to 1.2.0
80
81 Nothing particular
82
83 ## Security
84
85 ```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.
86 You have several options:
87 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
88 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
89 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
90
91 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
92
93 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
94
95 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
96
97 ```nginx
98 location ~ /var-.* {
99 deny all;
100 return 404;
101 }
102 ```
103
104 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
105 An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS.
106
107 ## Server side encryption
108
109 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).
110 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
111 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
112
113 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
114 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
115 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
116 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
117 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
118 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
119 - Don't forget to enable https.
120
121 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

146 ## FAQ
147
148 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
149
150 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
151
152 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/).
153
154 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
155
156 We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
157
158 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
159
160 If you have installed Jirafeau using git, it's pretty simple: just make a git pull and chown/chmod files who have the owner changed.
161
162 If you have installed Jirafeau just by uploading files on your server, you can take the [last version](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/repository/archive.zip), overwrite files and chown/chmod files if needed.
163
164 After upgrading, you can compare your ```lib/config.local.php``` and ```lib/config.original.php``` to see if new configuration items are available.
165
166 If you have some troubles:
167 - It should probably come from your ```lib/config.local.php``` (configuration syntax may have changed). Just compare it with ```lib/config.original.php```
168 - Check owner/permissions of your files.
169
170 Anyway you should off-course make a backup of your current installation before doing anything. :)
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 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
198
199 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
200
201 ### How to set maximum file size?
202
203 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
204
205 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
206 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.
207
208 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)
209
210 ### How can I edit an option?
211
212 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
213 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
214
215 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
216
217 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)«.
218
219 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.
220
221 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
222
223 ### How can I access the admin interface?
224
225 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
226
227 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
228
229 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
230
231 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
232
233 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
234
235 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
236
237 ```nginx
238 http {
239 # disable max upload size
240 client_max_body_size 0;
241 # add timeouts for very large uploads
242 client_header_timeout 30m;
243 client_body_timeout 30m;
244 }
245 ```
246
247 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
248
249 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).
250
251 ### Why forking?
252
253 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
254
255 ### What can we expect in the future?
256
257 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
258
259 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
260
261 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
262
263 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
264
265 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
266
267 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
268
269 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
270
271 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.
272 So:
273 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
274 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
275
276 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
277
278 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
279
