A file and text uploading service with configurable time limit

compiling

Compiling is a little strange. The SQL-statements are checked for correctness at compile-time, unfortunately this means that the database needs to be running at compile-time too.

To get set up:

• Start a postgresql somewhere
• Set its connection url in the .env file
• Run the init-db.sql script in the database (cat init-db.sql | psql)
• Build the project cargo build --release

running & config

At runtime the environment variable DATABASE_URL must be set (e.g. postgres://localhost). A folder named files needs to be created next to the application.

Other things are not configurable yet.

• The application listens on port 8000
• The server url is http://localhost:8000/
• The upload limit is 8MiB
• The maximum filename length is 255
• The uploaded files are stored in the files directory
