Pingvin Share

Pingvin Share is a selfhosted file sharing plattform made for the Appwrite Hackathon.

Showcase

At the moment, the setup is a bit time-consuming. I will improve the setup in the future.

Pingvin Share uses Appwrite as backend. You have to install and setup Appwrite first

Install Appwrite
Create an Account on your Appwrite instance
Change the _APP_STORAGE_LIMIT variable in the .env file of Appwrite to your prefered max size limit per share

First of all you have to start the Docker container.

Clone the docker-compose.yml file and the .env.example file from this repository
Rename the .env.example file to .env
Start the container with docker-compose up -d

The container is now running. Now you have to setup the Appwrite structure, but no worries I made a setup script.

To run the script run docker-compose exec pingvin-share node scripts/setup.js.

You're almost done, now you have to change your environment variables that they fit to your setup.

Go to your Appwrite console, visit "API Keys" and copy the "Functions API Key" secret to your clipboard.
Paste the key to the APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY variable in the .env file
Change PUBLIC_APPWRITE_HOST in the .env file to the host where your Appwrite instance runs
Change PUBLIC_MAX_FILE_SIZE in the .env file to the max file size limit you want

Pingvin Share is currently in beta and there are issues and limitations that should be fixed in the future.

DownloadAll generates the zip file on the client side. This takes alot of time. Because of that I temporarily limited this function to maximal 150 MB.
If a user knows the share id, he can list and download the files directly from the Appwrite API even if the share is secured by a password or a visitor limit.
