A file / image / paste upload server with a focus on embedding.

Written in Go

You can use contented as a standalone upload server, or you can use the SDK to embed its upload widget into another website.

[go-get]code.ivysaur.me/contented git https://git.ivysaur.me/code.ivysaur.me/contented.git[/go-get]

=FEATURES=

  • Drag and drop upload
  • Multiple files upload
  • Pastebin upload
  • Custom drawing upload ([url=https://github.com/Leimi/drawingboard.js]via[/url])
  • Ctrl-V upload
  • SDK-oriented design for embedding, including CORS support
  • Mobile friendly HTML interface
  • Preserves uploaded filename and content-type metadata
  • Hash verification (SHA512/256)
  • Detect duplicate upload content and reuse storage
  • Options to limit the upload filesize and the upload bandwidth
  • Short URLs (using [url=http://hashids.org]Hashids[/url] algorithm)
  • Image thumbnailing

=USAGE (SERVER)=

Usage of contented: -data string Directory for stored content (default "") -db string Path for metadata database (default "contented.db") -diskFilesWorldReadable Save files as 0644 instead of 0600 -enableHomepage Enable homepage (disable for embedded use only) (default true) -listen string IP/Port to bind server (default "127.0.0.1:80") -max int Maximum size of uploaded files in MiB (set zero for unlimited) (default 8) -speed int Maximum upload speed in bytes/sec (set zero for unlimited) -title string Title used in web interface (default "contented") -trustXForwardedFor Trust X-Forwarded-For reverse proxy headers -concurrentthumbs Simultaneous thumbnail generation (default 16)

If you are hosting behind a reverse proxy, remember to set its post body size parameter appropriately (e.g. client_max_body_size for nginx).

=USAGE (HTTP)=

The server responds on the following URLs:

  • /get/{ID}: Download item content
  • /info/{ID}: Get item content metadata (JSON)
  • /thumb/{Type}/{ID}: Get item thumbnail image
  • /about: Get server metadata (JSON)

=USAGE (EMBEDDING FOR WEB)=

Your webpage should load the SDK from the contented server, then call the contented.init function to display the upload widget over the top of an existing DOM element. Your callback will be passed an array of file IDs of any uploaded items.

<script type="text/javascript" src="SERVER_ADDR/sdk.js"></script> contented.init("#target", function(/* String[] */ items) {});
