filebox.js

filebox.js is just a simple and personal file hosting system.

This is not a complex system with auth or permissions. For that I use and recommend SugarSync, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

Currently at version 0.0.1

Supports drag & drop to upload
Supports 1 file at a time (multiple files on TODO)
Load more images on scroll
Mobile first approach
- For design
- For bandwidth/screen-size (each "page" downloads only how many images fit per screen)
- Shows thumbnails instead of the actual images when listing
All file types supported
No file size limit (it'll be limited by your server settings)

filebox.js requires you to have Node.js, npm, mongodb, redis, and imagemagick installed.

Additionally, some global npm modules are required to build the front-end:

$ npm install -g gulp

Copy ./generic.png to your uploads/ directory (default config needs it in ../uploads).
Create a boot/local.js if you're developing locally. It's not versioned, but you can copy it from boot/local.sample.js
Look around in boot/config.js if you need to change anything (db name, session & cookie prefix, for example). You can do them there or in boot/local.js

Please note boot/local.js is only loaded if you're in development mode (no NODE_ENV, or NODE_ENV === 'development).

If you're doing this for production, don't forget to put it under http basic auth, as the app itself doesn't have auth

To run it locally, simply do $ node app.

There's a lot of information and possibilities if you want to run the app in production. I like forever. You should, however, $ export NODE_ENV=production before running it.

$ npm test for e2e tests

Make upload show a progress bar instead of just a loading icon
Support multiple files upload
Make search work
Actually fetch tags to show them "prettier" when editing an image
Update db.tags whenever a file is updated
Make it consistent in the code to have/say file instead of image, since it does allow anything to be uploaded.
