🪣 bckt.xyz

Link shortener and secret sharing service.

This project is deployed on https://www.shuttle.rs/ and demonstrates how one can be built a production-like web service on that platform, using a codebase written in Rust and make use of dependencies such as Tokio, Axum, Tower, Askama, Htmx, Missing.css and so on.

Live @ https://bckt.xyz

(only accessible by friends of plabayo and our projects)

Project Structure

• Source code of this web service can be found under /src
  • /src/router: logic of the web service endpoints (including root)
  • /src/services/auth.rs: authentication of this web service (symmetric encryption, with a magic-link mechanism to login);
• Static assets — found in ./static such as Htmx, a bit of Bckt.xyz logic
  • (e.g. for client-side encryption of secrets), and css are served using tower-http's static server using Axum;
• Templates are found in /templates and are consumed using Askama;

In case you have furher questions you can ping @glendc at Shuttle's Discord.

Work In Progress

This project is not yet finished. Use at your own risk.

Developer todos:

• create secret logic (dirty)
• allow secrets to be deleted
• import blocklists for all kind of nasty domains which we want to avoid
• add l18n support using i18n-embed-fl and accept-language crates (for now only english, dutch and spanish support);
• add support for all known languages possible;
• move allowed_email_filters to db storage;
• support invites for users as long as we have less then 50;
• provide API, using same security mechanism
• provide bckt cli tool that over API can communicate with it (config in ~/.bckt.toml)
• make storage backend swappable with other stuff
• provide also file storage upload using blob storage as backend
