[Python] DFile: A fancy S3-based file sharing mode

This is a no-bullshit and S3-based file hosting that also runs on https://dfile.app

DFile backend (api)

Before running the service for the first time, run

cp config.sample config.py

Modify config.py (mainly setup your S3)

DOMAIN = "http://localhost:5000"
S3_REGION = "<s3 region>"
S3_ENDPOINT = "https://s3-domain.com"
S3_KEY = "<your s3 key>"
S3_SECRET = "<your s3 secret>"

Run it

python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
export FLASK_APP=app
export FLASK_ENV=development
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
flask run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000
