GitHub go.mod Go version

GoSƐ is a modern and scalable file-uploader focusing on scalability and simplicity. It is a little hobby project I’ve been working on over the last weekends.

The only requirement for GoSƐ is a S3 storage backend which allows to it to scale horizontally without the need for additional databases or caches. Uploaded files a divided into equally sized chunks which are hashed with a MD5 digest in the browser for upload. This allows GoSƐ to skip chunks which already exist. Seamless resumption of interrupted uploads and storage savings are the consequence.

And either way both upload and downloads are always directed directly at the S3 server so GoSƐ only sees a few small HTTP requests instead of the bulk of the data. Behind the scenes, GoSƐ uses many of the more advanced S3 features like Multi-part Uploads and Pre-signed Requests to make this happen.

Users have a few options to select between multiple pre-configured S3 buckets/servers or enable browser & mail notifications about completed uploads. A customisable retention / expiration time for each upload is also selectable by the user and implemented by S3 life-cycle policies. Optionally, users can also opt-in to use an external service to shorten the URL of the uploaded file.

Currently a single concurrent upload of a single file is supported. Users can observe the progress via a table of details statistics, a progress-bar and a chart showing the current transfer speed.

GoSƐ aims at keeping its deployment simple and by bundling both front- & backend components in a single binary or Docker image. GoSƐ has been tested with AWS S3, Ceph’s RadosGW and Minio. Pre-built binaries and Docker images of GoSƐ are available for all major operating systems and architectures at the release page.

GoSƐ is open-source software licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Installation

Pre-compiled binaries from GitHub releases

Take the download link for your OS/Arch from the Releases Page and run:

sudo wget https://github.com/stv0g/gose/releases/download/v0.0.2/gose_0.0.2_linux_amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/gose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gose

Kubernetes / Kustomize

Copy default configuration file: cp config.yaml kustomize/config.yaml
Adjust config: nano kustomize/config.yaml
Apply configuration: kubectl apply -k kustomize

Docker

Via environment variables in .env file:

docker run --env-file=.env --publish=8080:8080 ghcr.io/stv0g/gose

or via a configuration file:

docker run -v$(pwd)/config.yaml:/config.yaml --publish=8080:8080 ghcr.io/stv0g/gose -config /config.yaml

Docker Compose

We ship a docker-compose.yml file to get you started. Please adjust the environment variables in it and then run:

docker-compose up -d

Configuration

Gose can be configured via a configuration file and/or environment variables

File

For reference have a look at the example configuration file.

Environment variables

All settings from the configuration file can also be set via environment variables:

Variable	Default Value	Description
`GOSE_LISTEN`	`":8080"`	Listen address and port of Gose
`GOSE_BASE_URL`	`"http://localhost:8080"`	Base URL at which Gose is accessible
`GOSE_STATIC`	`"./dist"`	Directory of frontend assets (pre-compiled binaries of GoSƐ come with assets embedded into binary.)
`GOSE_BUCKET`	`gose-uploads`	Name of S3 bucket
`GOSE_ENDPOINT`	(without `http(s)://` prefix, but with port number)	Hostname:Port of S3 server
`GOSE_REGION`	`us-east-1`	Region of S3 server
`GOSE_PATH_STYLE`	`false`	Prepend bucket name to path
`GOSE_NO_SSL`	`false`	Disable SSL encryption for S3
`GOSE_ACCESS_KEY`		S3 Access Key
`GOSE_SECRET_KEY`		S3 Secret Key
`GOSE_SETUP_BUCKET`	`true`	Create S3 bucket if do not exists
