The Null Pointer
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
This is a no-bullshit file hosting and URL shortening service that also runs
|
||
`0x0.st <https://0x0.st>`_. Use with uWSGI.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
To configure 0x0, copy ``instance/config.example.py`` to ``instance/config.py``, then edit
|
||
it. Resonable defaults are set, but there's a couple options you'll need to change
|
||
before running 0x0 for the first time.
|
||
|
||
By default, the configuration is stored in the Flask instance directory.
|
||
Normally, this is in `./instance`, but it might be different for your system.
|
||
For details, see
|
||
`the Flask documentation <https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/config/#instance-folders>`_.
|
||
|
||
To customize the home and error pages, simply create a ``templates`` directory
|
||
in your instance directory and copy any templates you want to modify there.
|
||
|
||
If you are running nginx, you should use the ``X-Accel-Redirect`` header.
|
||
To make it work, include this in your nginx config’s ``server`` block::
|
||
|
||
location /up {
|
||
internal;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
where ``/up`` is whatever you’ve configured as ``FHOST_STORAGE_PATH``.
|
||
|
||
For all other servers, set ``FHOST_USE_X_ACCEL_REDIRECT`` to ``False`` and
|
||
``USE_X_SENDFILE`` to ``True``, assuming your server supports this.
|
||
Otherwise, Flask will serve the file with chunked encoding, which has several
|
||
downsides, one of them being that range requests will not work. This is a
|
||
problem for example when streaming media files: It won’t be possible to seek,
|
||
and some ISOBMFF (MP4) files will not play at all.
|
||
|
||
To make files expire, simply run ``FLASK_APP=fhost flask prune`` every
|
||
now and then. You can use the provided systemd unit files for this::
|
||
|
||
0x0-prune.service
|
||
0x0-prune.timer
|
||
|
||
Make sure to edit them to match your system configuration. In particular,
|
||
set the user and paths in ``0x0-prune.service``.
|
||
|
||
Before running the service for the first time and every time you update it
|
||
from this git repository, run ``FLASK_APP=fhost flask db upgrade``.
|
||
|
||
|
||
NSFW Detection
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
0x0 supports classification of NSFW content via Yahoo’s open_nsfw Caffe
|
||
neural network model. This works for images and video files and requires
|
||
the following:
|
||
|
||
* Caffe Python module (built for Python 3)
|
||
* `PyAV <https://github.com/PyAV-Org/PyAV>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
Network Security Considerations
|
||
-------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Keep in mind that 0x0 can fetch files from URLs. This includes your local
|
||
network! You should take precautions so that this feature cannot be abused.
|
||
0x0 does not (yet) have a way to filter remote URLs, but on Linux, you can
|
||
use firewall rules and/or namespaces. This is less error-prone anyway.
|
||
|
||
For instance, if you are using the excellent `FireHOL <https://firehol.org/>`_,
|
||
it’s very easy to create a group on your system and use it as a condition
|
||
in your firewall rules. You would then run the application server under that
|
||
group.
