It is randomly named to limit access but you may add better protection to prevent un-authorized access to it. +You have several options: +- Configure a ```.htaccess``` +- Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed +- Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution) + +If you are using Apache, you can add the following lineto your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder: + +```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ``` + +You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file). + +An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by https. + +# Few notes about server side encryption + +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). +The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content. +In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files. + +By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things: +- Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent. +- During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource). +- This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module. +- File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files). +- Be sure you server do not log client's requests. +- Don't forget to activate https. + +In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10. + +# FAQ + +### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau ? + +Of-course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required. + +Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/) + +If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in #9 + +### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau ? + +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. + +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. + +After upgrading, you can compare your ```lib/config.local.php``` and ```lib/config.original.php``` to see if new configuration items are available. + +If you have some troubles: +- It should probably come from your ```lib/config.local.php``` (configuration syntax may have changed). Just compare it with ```lib/config.original.php``` +- Check owner/permissions of your files. + +Anyway you should off-course make a backup of your current installation before doing anything :) + +### How can I limit upload access ? + +There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download): +- you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and +- you can configure a list of authorized IP ([CIDR notation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#CIDR_notation)) which are allowed to access to the upload page + +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). + +### I found a bug, what should I do ? + +Feel free to open a bug in the [gitlab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) + +### How to set maximum file size ? + +If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want. + +For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration. +You have to set [post_max_size](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size) and [upload_max_filesize](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize) in your php configuration. + +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) + +### How can I edit an option ? + +Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php) +If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php``` + +### How can I access the admin interface ? + +Just go to ```/admin.php``` + +### How can I use the scripting interface ? + +Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser. + +### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails + +Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts. + +### Why forking ? + +The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version. + +### What can we expect in the future ? + +Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff :) + +### What is the Jirafeau's license ? + +Jirafeau is licensed under [AGPLv3](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/COPYING) + +### How do I modify the TOS (terms of use) ? + +Just edit ```tos.php``` and configure ```$org``` and ```$contact``` variables. + +### What about this file deduplication thing ? + +Jirafeau use a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization. + +This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter. + +If someone use his delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file. + +If the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed. + +### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface ? + +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. +So: +- The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file. +- The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file. + +### How to contact someone from Jirafeau ? + +Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug, else you can send an email at j.jutteau A.T gmail .DOT. com + diff --git a/README.txt b/README.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 6d9da0c..0000000 --- a/README.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,12 +0,0 @@ -Any project would be sad without it's README file :) - -Jirafeau is a web site permitting to upload a file in a simple way and give -an unique link to it. - -Jirafeau is an Open-Source project under AGPL v3 license (see COPYING file) - -To install Jirafeau project, just open your browser and go to /install.php - -For more informations on Jirafeau project, go to it's web page: - -https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/wikis/home diff --git a/lib/template/footer.php b/lib/template/footer.php index d947421..7b9e188 100644 --- a/lib/template/footer.php +++ b/lib/template/footer.php @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@
