Announcing tmpshare v1.0

I’m happy to announce version 1.0 of tmpshare a self-hosted file sharing tool.

tmpshare is beeing developed in live coding sessions on twitch.tv/zoranzaric. The streams are archived on YouTube.

The most basic example of tmpshare’s usage looks like this:

# Create a file
$ echo "Hello World" > hello-world

# Add it to tmpshare
$ tmpshare add hello-world
D2A84F4B8B650937EC8F73CD8BE2C74ADD5A911BA64DF27458ED8229DA804A26

# Show the served files
$ tmpshare list
D2A84F4B8B650937EC8F73CD8BE2C74ADD5A911BA64DF27458ED8229DA804A26: hello-world

# Start the server
$ tmpshare serve
Serving from http://127.0.0.1:8080

# (In another terminal or your browser)
# Get the file
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/get/D2A84F4B8B650937EC8F73CD8BE2C74ADD5A911BA64DF27458ED8229DA804A26
Hello World

# In a cronjob or when you feel like it delete all files older than X days
# Assuming we've waited for at least a month
$ tmpshare cleanup
deleted D2A84F4B8B650937EC8F73CD8BE2C74ADD5A911BA64DF27458ED8229DA804A26: hello-world

For now this is just the bare minimum to provide a self-hosted file sharing service, that handles purging old files, so you don’t have to handle this.

Ideas for the future include:

(Authenticated) uploading of new files
Serving multiple files with one URL
(Authenticated) listing of all available files
Optionally pushing the deletion date for used files

I’m looking forward to improving tmpshare on stream, improve my streaming, and learn from the communiy.

Thanks for your time, Zoran
