Host your own minimal file sharing site (now with expiring files)

file-upload

most simple file upload container

to be used via curl

curl -F file=@somefile https://your-url

supports expiration by adding ?exp=.. to the querystring, like so:

curl -F file=@somefile https://your-url?exp=1w

the duration expressions supported are:

• h - hours
• d - days
• w - weeks
• m - months
• y - years

they can not combined as of now, only one may be used, the default is to not expire the upload, like before the addition of this feature.

the marker for expiration is simply a file adhering to a naming convention indiciating the unix timestamp of expiry.

a cron container has also been added, it will find expired uploads every 20 minutes and delete them.

the project is meant to be used behind a reverse proxy, which is not in scope, I personally run a non-docker reverse proxy in front of all my projects, that's why this is bound to localhost by default.

there are many projects out there incorporating TLS and all kinds of nice features, this one for example: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-letsencrypt it could easily be added to the compose file and you're good to go
