Files sharing application made in PHP
Files Sharing
FILES SHARING VERSION 2 JUST RELEASED
Description
This PHP application based on Laravel 10.9 allows to share files like Wetransfer. You may install it on your own server. It does not require any database system, it works with JSON files into the storage folder. It is multilingual and comes with english, french and korean translations for now. You're welcome to help translating the app.
This application provides two links per bundle :
Each of these links comes with an authorization code. This code is the same for the preview and the download links.
The application also comes with a Laravel Artisan command as a background task who will physically remove expired bundle files of the storage disk. This command is configured to run every five minutes among the Laravel scheduled commands.

UPLOAD_MAX_FILES
(optional) maximal number of files per bundle
UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE
(optional) change this to the value you want (K, M, G, T, ...). Attention : you must configure your PHP settings too (post_max_size, upload_max_filesize and memory_limit). When missing, using PHP lowest configuration
UPLOAD_LIMIT_IPS

Different formats are supported : Full IP address (192.168.10.2), Wildcard format (192.168.10.*), CIDR Format (192.168.10/24 or 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or Start-end IP (192.168.10.0-192.168.10.10). When missing, filtering is disabled.
LIMIT_DOWNLOAD_RATE
(optional) if set, limit the download rate. For instance, you may set LIMIT_DOWNLOAD_RATE=100K to limit download rate to 100Ko/s
Authentication
You may provide a list of IPs to limit access to the upload feature.
Or you can create users with login/password credentials.
You can also mix the two methods.
Warning: if your leave the
UPLOAD_LIMIT_IPSempty and you don't create users, the upload will be publicly accessible
Known issues
If you are using Nginx, you might be required to do additional setup in order to increase the upload max size. Check the Nginx's documentation for client_max_body_size.
