8 Welcome to the official Jirafeau project, an [Open-Source software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software).
9
10 Jirafeau is a "one-click-filesharing": Select your file, upload, share a link. That's it.
11
12 See [jirafeau.net](https://jirafeau.net/) for a demo.

21 - Preview content in browser (if possible)
22 - Optional password protection (for uploading or downloading)
23 - Set expiration time for downloads
24 - Option to self-destruct after first download
25 - Shortened URLs using base 64 encoding

27 - NO database, only use basic PHP
28 - Simple language support with a lot of langages (help us on [weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/jirafeau/)!)
29 - File level [Deduplication](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication) for storage optimization (does store duplicate files only once, but generate multiple links)
30 - Optional data encryption
31 - Small administration interface
32 - CLI script to remove expired files automatically with a cronjob
33 - Basic, adaptable »Terms Of Service« page
34 - Basic API
35 - Bash script to upload files via command line
36 - Themes
37
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 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.
61
62 System requirements:
63 - PHP >= 5.6
64 - Optional, but recommended: Git >= 2.7
65 - No database required, no mail required
66
67 Installation steps:
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 ```lib/config.original.php``` to ```lib/config.local.php``` and customize it
76
77 💡 Hint: How to
78 [install & configure Jirafeau](https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-setup-a-file-sharing-website-with-jirafeau-on-debian-10/)
79 on Debian 10 from scratch, with Nginx and PHP-FPM.
80
81 ### Troubleshooting
82
83 If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
84
85 - Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
86 - Check owner & permissions of your files
87 - set `debug` option to `true` to check any warning or error
88
89 ## Security
90
91 ```var``` directory contains all files and links. It is randomly named to limit access but you may add better protection to prevent un-authorized access to it.
92 You have several options:
93 - Configure a ```.htaccess```
94 - Move var folder to a place on your server which can't be directly accessed
95 - Disable automatic listing on your web server config or place a index.html in var's sub-directory (this is a limited solution)
96
97 If you are using Apache, you can add the following line to your configuration to prevent people to access to your ```var``` folder:
98
99 ```RedirectMatch 301 ^/var-.* http://my.service.jirafeau ```
100
101 If you are using nginx, you can add the following to your $vhost.conf:
102
103 ```nginx
104 location ~ /var-.* {
105 deny all;
106 return 404;
107 }
108 ```
109
110 If you are using lighttpd, you can deny access to ```var``` folder in your configuration:
111
112 ```
113 $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/var-*" {
114 url.access-deny = ("")
115 }
116 ```
117
118 You should also remove un-necessessary write access once the installation is done (ex: configuration file).
119 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).
120
121 ## Server side encryption
122
123 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).
124 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
125 Encryption is configured to use AES256 in OFB mode.
126 In case of security troubles on the server, attacker won't be able to access files.
127
128 By activating this feature, you have to be aware of few things:
129 - Data encryption has a cost (cpu) and it takes more time for downloads to complete once file sent.
130 - During the download, the server will decrypt on the fly (and use resource).
131 - This feature needs to have the mcrypt php module.
132 - File de-duplication will stop to work (as we can't compare two encrypted files).
133 - Be sure your server do not log client's requests.
134 - Don't forget to enable https.
135
136 In a next step, encryption will be made by the client (in javascript), see issue #10.

161 ## FAQ
162
163 ### Can I add a new language in Jirafeau?
164
165 Of course ! Translations are easy to make and no technical knowledge is required.
166
167 Simply go to [Jirafeau's Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/jirafeau/).
168
169 If you want to add a new language in the list, feel free to contact us or leave a comment in ticket #9.
170
171 Thanks to all contributors ! :)
172
173 ### How do I upgrade my Jirafeau?
174
175 See change log and upgrade procedure in [CHANGELOG.md](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
176
177 ### How can I limit upload access?
178
179 There are two ways to limit upload access (but not download):
180 - you can set one or more passwords in order to access the upload interface, or/and
181 - 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
182
183 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).
184
185 ### How can I automatize the cleaning of old (expired) files?
186
187 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```.
188
189 Then the command can be placed in a cron file to automatize the process. For example:
190 ```
191 # m h dom mon dow user command
192 12 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_expired
193 16 3 * * * www-data php /path/to/jirafeau/admin.php clean_async
194 ```
195
196 ### I have some troubles with IE
197
198 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).
199
200 Anyway I would recommend you to use another web browser. :)
201
202 ### How can I change the theme?
203
204 You may change the default theme to any of the existing ones or a custom.
205
206 Open your ```lib/config.local.php``` and change setting in the »`style`« key to the name of any folder in the ```/media``` directory.
207
208 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.
209
210 ### I found a bug, what should I do?
211
212 Feel free to open a bug in the [GitLab's issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues).
213
214 ### How to set maximum file size?
215
216 If your browser supports HTML5 file API, you can send files as big as you want.
217
218 For browsers who does not support HTML5 file API, the limitation come from PHP configuration.
219 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`.
220
221 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)
222
223 ### How can I edit an option?
224
225 Documentation of all default options are located in [lib/config.original.php](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/blob/master/lib/config.original.php).
226 If you want to change an option, just edit your ```lib/config.local.php```.
227
228 ### How can I change the Terms of Service?
229
230 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)«.
231
232 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.
233
234 If you update the installation, then only the ```tos.original.txt``` file may change eventually, not your ```tos.local.txt``` file.
235
236 ### How can I access the admin interface?
237
238 Just go to ```/admin.php```.
239
240 ### How can I use the scripting interface (API)?
241
242 Simply go to ```/script.php``` with your web browser.
243
244 ### My downloads are incomplete or my uploads fails
245
246 Be sure your PHP installation is not using safe mode, it may cause timeouts.
247
248 If you're using nginx, you might need to increase `client_max_body_size` or remove the restriction altogether. In your nginx.conf:
249
250 ```nginx
251 http {
252 # disable max upload size
253 client_max_body_size 0;
254 # add timeouts for very large uploads
255 client_header_timeout 30m;
256 client_body_timeout 30m;
257 }
258 ```
259
260 ### How can I monitor the use of my Jirafeau instance?
261
262 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).
263
264 ### Why forking?
265
266 The original project seems not to be continued anymore and I prefer to add more features and increase security from a stable version.
267
268 ### What can we expect in the future?
269
270 Check [issues](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues) to check open bugs and incoming new stuff. :)
271
272 ### What about this file deduplication thing?
273
274 Jirafeau uses a very simple file level deduplication for storage optimization.
275
276 This mean that if some people upload several times the same file, this will only store one time the file and increment a counter.
277
278 If someone use his/her delete link or an admin cleans expired links, this will decrement the counter corresponding to the file.
279
280 When the counter falls to zero, the file is destroyed.
281
282 In order to know if a newly uploaded file already exist, Jirafeau will hash the file using md5 by default but other methods are available (see `file_hash` documentation in `lib/config.original.php`).
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 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
295 ### Can I buy you a coffee?
296
297 You can [drop few bucks](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jeromejutteau) to help the [demo web site](https://jirafeau.net) to stay alive.
