From 894c85bab9f15b509744a377ed2c93286bba95da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Armin Friedl Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2020 20:41:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Use local URL, add Readme Use local url in prod config. The local url works if docker is started on localhost. If the container is deployed to a domain, the base URL must be specified via REACT_APP_API environment variable. --- README.md | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++ web/fling/.env | 2 +- web/fling/src/components/admin/Navbar.jsx | 6 ---- 3 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 README.md diff --git a/README.md b/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f328a9b --- /dev/null +++ b/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +# Fling +Have you ever missed the simplicity of an USB Stick when sharing data over the +net? + +Zero-friction sharing is a surprisingly unsolved problem. There's no reasonably +ubiquitous solution installed on everybody's machine. Online providers are often +packed with features, but miss out on things like direct download urls, a space +for others to easily _upload_ to you, or require registration from all +participants. I don't remember any of these things being a problem with USB 🤔. + +Fling is a self-hosted file share. It is simple like USB without missing out on +the good parts of the web: +- Drop files on a fling and share the URL. That's it. The fling way of life. + +Other features include: +- Choose your own, meaningful name for your sharing URL +- Share a direct download link +- Choose to let others upload files just as simple +- Protect your fling by a password - no registration required +- Let a fling expire after a date or a number of clicks (or keep it forever) + +# Fling is a API +It gets even better! + +Fling is a backend service and a web interface. But you can use anything else +that speaks HTTP if you prefer. In fact, we generate and publish a javascript +and python client for the Fling API on every build. If you like it bare-bones +there is also a querysheet in the examples folder with raw HTTP calls. + +Fling also has a code-first OpenAPI compliant spec. O mon Dieu, it just checks +_all_ the boxes! + +# Fling as a container +It gets even even better better! + +Fling is self-hosted. But it is packaged up in a docker container for easy +deployment. Run `docker run --rm -p3000:3000 arminfriedl/fling` and go to +http://localhost:3000.
