Nerd-Storage

A simple LAN storage.

Description

Nerd-Storage is a simple web server for sharing files on the local network.

It supports the download of files and directories, the upload of multiple files at once, making a directory, updates and deletions.

The user can also upload an existing directory as a .zip file which will then be extracted inside the storage as a folder.

Prerequisites

• Linux

• Python 3.6+

Dependencies

• Flask

• Flask-Login

• Jinja2

Installation

pip install Nerd-Storage

Usage

Run: nerdstorage

To access the storage go to: http://<server-local-ip-addr>:5000/

To print help information: nerdstorage --help

Configuration

1. Run hash.py to set the login password.
2. Edit config.py to set the storage path.

This command will output the full path of hash.py and config.py:

pip show Nerd-Storage | grep 'Location' | grep -o -E '[/].+' | xargs -I@ printf '@/nerdstorage/hash/hash.py\n@/nerdstorage/config.py\n'

Large Files

This feature allows the upload of files of size equal to or greater than the RAM of the machine running Nerd-Storage.

For example if the application is running on a machine with 4GB of RAM to upload a file of size equal to or greater than 4GB this feature has to be used.

Brief Explanation

The client uses flow.js to split the file into chunks and send them independently. The server saves each chunk as a separate file, then once all the chunks have been received the server merges them together to recreate the original file.

CLI

nerdcli is a command line interface for Nerd-Storage.
