NodeCrypt - Backend for File Sharing Site

For more detailed information, refer to the Notion page.

Introduction

This project focuses on developing the backend for a file-sharing site, continuing the work on the 'File System Encryption using AES-256 over HTTPS' project.

The HTTPS setup is an integral part of the project, involving the configuration of a custom domain with a free and custom Top-Level Domain (TLD). The SSL certificate has been enabled to ensure secure HTTPS connections. The hosting is done on InfinityFree, a free web hosting platform that simplifies website development at no cost.

Before diving into the documentation, the domain for this project is datavault.rf.gd.
