File transfers made easy

Setup

This project depends on the Go programming language and NodeJS JavaScript environment. I like to use a POSIX-compatible Makefile to facilitate the various project operations but traditional Go commands and NPM scripts will work just as well.

On macOS, these dependencies can be easily installed via Homebrew:

brew install go node

Building

To build the application into a standalone binary, run:

make -j

Local Development

Services

This project depends on various services. To develop locally, you'll need to run these services locally somehow or another. I find Docker to be a nice tool for this but you can do whatever works best.

• PostgreSQL - for persistent storage and task queue
• MinIO - for integration testing

The following command starts the necessary containers:

docker compose up -d

These containers can be stopped via:

docker compose down

Running

To run (and auto-reload) the backend and frontend simultaneously:

make -j run
