3 Welcome to the official Jirafeau project, an [Open-Source software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software).
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.
7 A demonstration of the latest version is available on [jirafeau.net](https://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.
40 As it's original project, Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
42 Jirafeau project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.

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.
64 - Optional, but recommended: Git >= 2.7
65 - No database required, no mail required
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
79 ### General procedure for all versions
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
89 ### From version 1.0 to 1.1
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«
96 ### From version 1.2.0 to 2.0.0
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
101 ### from version 2.0.0 to 3.4.1
103 There is nothing special to do to update from/to the following versions:
114 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
116 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
117 - Check owner & permissions of your files
121 ```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.
122 You have several options:
123 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
124 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
125 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
127 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
129 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
131 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
140 If you are using lighttpd, you can deny access to ```var``` folder in your configuration:
143 $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/var-*" {
144 url.access-deny = ("")
148 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
149 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).
151 ## Server side encryption
153 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).
154 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
155 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
157 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
158 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
159 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
160 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
161 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
162 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
163 - Don't forget to enable https.
165 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

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