Lightweight file storage service

Lightweight File Storage Service (LFSS)

My experiment on a lightweight file/object storage service.
It stores small files and metadata in sqlite, large files in the filesystem, and serves them through a simple REST API.
Tested on 2 million files, and it works fine... thanks to the sqlite database!

Usage:

pip install lfss
lfss-user add <username> <password>
lfss-serve

By default, the data will be stored in .storage_data. You can change storage directory using the LFSS_DATA environment variable.

I provide a simple client to interact with the service:

lfss-panel --open

Or, you can start a web server at /frontend and open index.html in your browser.

The API usage is simple, just GET, PUT, DELETE to the /<username>/file/url path.
Authentication is done via Authorization header with the value Bearer <token>, or through the token query parameter.
You can refer to frontend as an application example, and frontend/api.js or lfss/client/api.py for the API usage.

By default, the service exposes all files to the public for GET requests, but file-listing is restricted to the user's own files.
Please refer to docs/Permission.md for more details on the permission system.
