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/).

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 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 ### Troubleshooting
98
99 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
100
101 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
102 - Check owner & permissions of your files
103
104 ## Security
105
106 ```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.
107 You have several options:
108 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
109 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
110 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
111
112 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
113
114 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
115
116 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
117
118 ```nginx
119 location ~ /var-.* {
120 deny all;
121 return 404;
122 }
123 ```
124
125 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
126 An other obvious basic security is to let access users to the site by HTTPS.
127
128 ## Server side encryption
129
130 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).
131 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
132 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
133
134 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
135 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
136 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
137 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
138 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
139 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
140 - Don't forget to enable https.
141
142 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

167 ## FAQ
168
169 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
170
171 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
172
173 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/jirafeau/master/).
174
175 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
176
177 We would like to thank all anonymous contributors on weblate. :)
178
179 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
180
181 See upgrade instructions above.
182
183 ### How can I limit upload access?
184
185 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
186 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
187 - 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
188
189 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).
190
191 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
192
193 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```.
194
195 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
196 ```
197 # m h dom mon dow user command
198 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
199 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
200 ```
201
202 ### I have some troubles with IE
203
204 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).
205
206 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
207
208 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
209
210 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
211
212 ### How to set maximum file size?
213
214 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
215
216 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
217 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.
218
219 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)
220
221 ### How can I edit an option?
222
223 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
224 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
225
226 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
227
228 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)«.
229
230 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.
231
232 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
233
234 ### How can I access the admin interface?
235
236 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
237
238 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
239
240 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
241
242 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
243
244 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
245
246 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
247
248 ```nginx
249 http {
250 # disable max upload size
251 client_max_body_size 0;
252 # add timeouts for very large uploads
253 client_header_timeout 30m;
254 client_body_timeout 30m;
255 }
256 ```
257
258 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
259
260 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).
261
262 ### Why forking?
263
264 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
265
266 ### What can we expect in the future?
267
268 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
269
270 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
271
272 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
273
274 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
275
276 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
277
278 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
279
280 ### What is the difference between "delete link" and "delete file and links" in admin interface?
281
282 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.
283 So:
284 - The button "delete link" will delete the reference to the file but might not destroy the file.
285 - The button "delete file and links" will delete all references pointing to the file and will destroy the file.
286
287 ### How to contact someone from Jirafeau?
288
289 Feel free to create an issue if you found a bug.
290
