Rest-CDN is a project focused on creating a safe, very fast, and easy to setup & use CDN.
- Short-term and Long-term storage
- Easy deployment
- Speed
- Security
Rest-CDN can be used for both short-term storage and long-term storage
Files get by default deleted after 20 days from upload, but you can edit that limit in the file /file.write.php, or you can manually give some files more time in the file by adding some conditions, or manually editing the serialized data index object in /data_storage/index.bin.php
By adding some conditions I mean testing if the filename starts with longterm., then we'd give it like a year before it would get deleted.
It's actually simple as fuk boiii, just upload all the files to a server that supports PHP (preferably Apache, I haven't tested it on Nginx or other servers, but it should theoretically work) and you're ✨done✨!
You should also change the access token in /lib/tokens.php since that is one of the biggest players in the security
It's fast.
- The main player in security of rest-cdn are Tokens
- Tokens are used mainly to authenticate you
- You, as a client, are required to send a token with every request, so the server is sure that it can save, change, read or delete a file
- Data Storage Token
- Data Storage Tokens are a way for the server to make sure that anyone who doesn't have access to the server where rest-cdn is placed can access your files
- The way this works is simple: you send a request, the server changes something
- The Something is the Data Storage Token, but don't get this confused with User Access Tokens (point 1.)
- The server renames the directory inside
/data_storageto a sequence of 32 cryptographically secure random bytes (or 64 characters in hex)
- Apache access control (in a future update)
- I will put some .htaccess files into the project in a future update to increase the security even more.
- Going to
/lib/,/data_storage/or some other forbidden file will simply give you 403
