The Null Pointer
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
This is a no-bullshit file hosting and URL shortening service that also runs
|
||
`0x0.st <https://0x0.st>`_. Use with uWSGI.
|
||
|
||
If you are running nginx, you should use the ``X-Accel-Redirect`` header.
|
||
To make it work, include this in your nginx config’s ``server`` block::
|
||
|
||
location /up {
|
||
internal;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
where ``/up`` is whatever you’ve configured as ``FHOST_STORAGE_PATH``
|
||
in ``fhost.py``.
|
||
|
||
For all other servers, set ``FHOST_USE_X_ACCEL_REDIRECT`` to ``False`` and
|
||
``USE_X_SENDFILE`` to ``True``, assuming your server supports this.
|
||
Otherwise, Flask will serve the file with chunked encoding, which sucks and
|
||
should be avoided at all costs.
|
||
|
||
To make files expire, simply create a cronjob that runs ``cleanup.py`` every
|
||
now and then.
|
||
|
||
Before running the service for the first time, run ``./fhost.py db upgrade``.

FAQ
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
Q:
|
||
Will you ever add a web interface with HTML forms?
|
||
A:
|
||
No. This would without a doubt make it very popular and quickly exceed
|
||
my hosting budget unless I started crippling it.
|
||
|
||
Q:
|
||
What about file management? Will I be able to register an account at some
|
||
point?
|
||
A:
|
||
No.
|
||
|
||
Q:
|
||
Why are you storing IP addresses with each uploaded file?
|
||
A:
|
||
This is done to make dealing with legal claims and accidental uploads
|
||
easier, e.g. when a user requests removal of all text files uploaded from
|
||
a certain address within a given time frame (it happens).
|
||
|
||
Q:
|
||
Do you accept donations?
|
||
A:
|
||
Only if you insist. I’ve spent very little time and effort on this service
|
||
and I don’t feel like I should be taking money for it.
