Basic file server with API routes for CRUD.
Authorization for either simple admin api keys/passwords (giving unlimited permissions for state-changing interactions like creating new folders, or uploading files), or more complex account setups with individual ranks and permissions with user data stored in MongoDB. Unauthorized users will still be a able to view and download the files.
All file paths used in requests are relative to root path in config.yaml, i.e., /server/files/image.jpg not /home/deafnv/server/files/image.jpg.
This file server is used in the demo in this repository.
Warning
Place an empty index.ts file in ./src/routes/custom before starting.
Clone, setup config.yaml, run npm install, npm run build, and npm start. See config-template.yaml for details on the config file format. The server should start by default on port 80, and 443 if configured with HTTPS.
If database is enabled and running for the first time, run npm run migrate to migrate the database schema.
All routes causing state changes in the server require authorization. See Authorization Routes for details.
