# File Drop Uploader
|
||
|
||
A tiny web app for collecting photos/videos and saving them to the local filesystem.
|
||
Admin users log in to create public invite links; invite links are always public-by-URL. A public uploader page is optional and disabled by default.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Local Saving:** All uploaded files are saved to the local filesystem.
|
||
- **Invite Links:** Create public-by-URL links for uploads; one-time or multi-use.
|
||
- **Manage Links:** Search/sort, enable/disable, delete, edit name/expiry.
|
||
- **Passwords (optional):** Protect invites with a password gate.
|
||
- **Albums:** Upload into a specific folder (auto-create supported). Preserves client-side folder structure on upload.
|
||
- **Duplicate Prevention:** Local SHA‑1 cache prevents re-uploading the same file.
|
||
- **Telegram Notifications:** Get notified via Telegram when upload batches are complete.
|
||
- **Progress Queue:** WebSocket updates; see upload progress in real-time.
|
||
- **Chunked Uploads (optional):** Large-file support with configurable chunk size.
|
||
- **Mobile + Dark Mode:** Responsive UI, safe-area padding, persistent theme.

||
## Quick start
|
||
You can run without a `.env` file by putting all settings in `docker-compose.yml` (recommended for deploys).
|
||
Use a `.env` file only for local development.
|
||
|
||
### docker-compose.yml (deploy without .env)
|
||
```yaml
|
||

### CLI
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker compose pull
|
||
docker compose up -d
|
||
```
|

|
||
|
||
## Chunked Uploads
|
||
|
||
- Enable chunked uploads by setting `CHUNKED_UPLOADS_ENABLED=true`.
|
||
- Configure chunk size with `CHUNK_SIZE_MB` (default: `95`). The client only uses chunked mode for files larger than this.
|
||
- Intended to bypass upstream proxy limits (e.g., 100MB) while preserving duplicate checks, EXIF timestamps, album add, and per‑item progress via WebSocket.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Architecture
|
||
|
||
- **Frontend:** static HTML/JS (Tailwind). Drag & drop or "Choose files", queue UI with progress and status chips.
|
||
- **Backend:** FastAPI + Uvicorn.
|
||
- Saves uploaded files to the local filesystem.
|
||
- Computes SHA‑1 and checks a local SQLite cache (`state.db`) to prevent duplicates.
|
||
- WebSocket `/ws` pushes per‑item progress to the current browser session only.
|
||
- **Persistence:** A local SQLite database (`state.db`) prevents re‑uploads across sessions. Uploaded files are stored in `/data/uploads`.

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- **Python** 3.11
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
# Local dev quickstart
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
Run with live reload:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python main.py
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The backend contains docstrings so you can generate docs later if desired.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Dev Configuration (.env)
|
||
|
||
```ini
|
||
# Server (dev only)
|
||
HOST=0.0.0.0
|
||
PORT=8080
|
||
|
||
# Public uploader page (optional) — disabled by default
|
||
PUBLIC_UPLOAD_PAGE_ENABLED=TRUE
|
||
|
||
# Local dedupe cache (SQLite)
|
||
STATE_DB=./data/state.db
|
||
|
||
# Telegram Bot for notifications (optional)
|
||
#TELEGRAM_BOT_API_KEY=
|
||
#TELEGRAM_BOT_OWNER_ID=
|
||
|
||
# Base URL for generating absolute invite links (recommended for production)
|
||
# e.g., PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://photos.example.com
|
||
#PUBLIC_BASE_URL=
|
||
|
||
# Session and security
|
||
SESSION_SECRET=SET-A-STRONG-RANDOM-VALUE
|
||
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
|
||
|
||
# Chunked uploads (optional)
|
||
CHUNKED_UPLOADS_ENABLED=true
|
||
CHUNK_SIZE_MB=95
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
You can keep a checked‑in `/.env.example` with the keys above for onboarding.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## How it works
|
||
|
||
1. **Queue** – Files selected in the browser are queued; each gets a client-side ID.
|
||
2. **De-dupe (local)** – Server computes **SHA‑1** and checks `state.db`. If seen, marks as **duplicate**.
|
||
3. **Save** – The file is saved to the local filesystem under `./data/uploads`.
|
||
4. **Album** – If an album is specified via an invite link, or a folder name is provided on the public page, the file is saved into a corresponding subdirectory. Client-side folder structure is also preserved.
|
||
5. **Progress** – Backend streams progress via WebSocket to the same session.
|
||
6. **Privacy** – The UI shows only the current session's items. It does not provide a way to browse saved files.
|
||

|
||
## Security notes
|
||
|
||
- The menu and invite creation are behind login. Logout clears the session.
|
||
- Invite links are public by URL; share only with intended recipients.
|
||
- The default uploader page at `/` is disabled unless `PUBLIC_UPLOAD_PAGE_ENABLED=true`.
|
||
- No browsing of uploaded media; only ephemeral session state is shown.
|
||
- Run behind HTTPS with a reverse proxy and restrict CORS to your domain(s).
|
||
|
||
## Usage flow
|
||
|
||
- Admin: Login → Menu → Create invite link (optionally one-time / expiry / album) → Share link or QR.
|
||
- Guest: Open invite link → Drop files → Upload progress and results shown.
|
||
- Optional: Enable public uploader for a default landing page.
