File Uploader
A simple file uploader application that allows authenticated users to upload, list, and delete files. The application uses PHP and a Python authentication service running on Apache2.
Prerequisites
- Apache2, configured, up and running
- PHP 8.1 or higher
- Required PHP extensions:
php-json,php-curl
Hint:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php
Installation
For simplicity, I'll use my current Ubuntu instance user name, you should replace by yours.
Clone
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/uploader.git
cd uploader
or download this repository
wget https://github.com/sensboston/uploader/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip -d uploader
mv uploader/uploader-master/* uploader/
rm -r uploader/uploader-master
rm master.zip
Configure PHP
Ensure the following PHP settings are in your /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini:
log_errors = On
error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
Also check for max upload file/post size limits in /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini (adjust to your needs, like 10G):
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M
Create the upload directory and set the necessary permissions:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/upload
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/upload
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/upload
Do not forget to add proper permissions to www-data (used by apache & php)
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/upload
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/upload
Create application directory at webroot (or configure app/site):
(note: with my Apache configuration, I just need to create a subdirectory)
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/uploader
Edit file config.php and adjust variables
(website name, time zone etc.)
sudo nano /home/ubuntu/uploader/config.php
Copy all app files (html, php & js) to the app folder:
sudo cp /home/ubuntu/uploader/*.* /var/www/html/uploader/
Restart Apache to apply changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Usage
Open your web browser and navigate to https://yourserveraddress/uploader
Enter your username and password to authenticate.
Choose a file to upload and click the "Upload" button.
The uploaded files will be listed on the page, and you can delete them using the "Delete" button.
Issues / TODO
- Add checking upload size before starting upload.
