This project is still work in progress!

• User management

Commandline interface for administrative purposes:
Luka5W/FileServerCLI

This project is primary made for a Note-App (Android/Web) I'm working on (See YourNotes).

Documentation

• The API is documented with Postman
• JavaDoc

Installation & Usage

This program is tested and developed with Java 8 on a GNU/Linux system (specifically Kubuntu 18.04 LTS). I don't know (and care) if it works properly under Windows.

1. Download the jar from the releases
2. Execute it the first time with java -jar FileServer_[version].jar --setup to create the setup file.
3. Create a JKS file with this command: keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore [filename].jks -storepass [password] -validity 360 -keysize 2048.
4. Execute the server: java -jar java -jar FileServer_[version].jar. Add -c [filename].ini to specify a custom config file (Step 2 would be unnecessary for that).

To get the version, execute the program with the -v flag, for all arguments with the -h flag.
