s3-share/README.md

2.3 KiB

A simple server to share objects on an s3 bucket and display them in a nice way.

Features

  • Share any object on an s3 bucket
  • Generate short urls for the share
  • Simple API to create shares

Building

Run make and the binary together with the web frontend will be in the build directory.

Usage

Run the s3browser binary with the --help flag to see the available options. The public directory needs to be in the same directory as the binary.

S3Share requires two things:

  • a s3 bucket with read access
  • a sql database

API

Use the provided username and password with basic auth.

Shares ids consist of six alphanumeric characters e.g. jW8ADy.

  • GET /api/share: Get a list of all shares
  • GET /api/share/:id: Get a share by id. Result:
{"slug":"jW8ADy","key":"/myObj.txt"}
  • POST /api/share: Create a new share. Data to send:
{"key":"/myObj.txt"}
  • DELETE /api/share/:id: Delete a share

Other urls are:

  • /:id to get the default site to display the share.
  • /s/:id to get the shared file directly.

When you request a shared file directly, you can add anything after a dot behind the id e.g. /s/jW8ADy.png. This is done to make the browser display the file correctly. On the server side, this will be stripped away.
