This implementation has several features to make usage as simple as possible.
You can download binaries from a releases page.
If you want to use docker, you can use official images from s3rius/rustus:
bash
docker run --rm -it -p 1081:1081 s3rius/rustus:latest
If we don't have a binary file for your operating system you can build it with cargo.
bash
git clone https://github.com/s3rius/rustus.git
cd rustus
cargo install --path . --features=all
Right now you can only use file-storage
to store uploads data. The only two options you can adjust are:
To upload files in a custom directory other than ./data
you can provide a --data-dir
parameter.
bash
rustus --data-dir "./files"
If you have a lot of uploads, you don't want to store all your files in a flat structure. So you can set a directory structure for your uploads.
bash
rustus --dir-structure="{env[HOSTNAME]}/{year}/{month}/{day}"
```bash tree data data ├── 0bd911d4054d41c6a3ad54be67ee3e66.info ├── 5bc9c62384494c439e2a064b82a39cc6.info └── rtus-68cb5b8746-5mgw9 └── 2022 └── 1 └── 8 ├── 0bd911d4054d41c6a3ad54be67ee3e66 └── 5bc9c62384494c439e2a064b82a39cc6
```
Important note: if you use variable that doesn't exist or incorrect like invalid env variable, it results in an error and the directory structure will become flat again.
As you can see all info files are stored in a flat structure. It cannot be changed if you use file info storage. In
order to get rid of those .info
files use different info storages.
The info storage is a database or directory. The main goal is to keep track of uploads. Rustus stores information about download in json format inside database.
File storage is used by default. You can customize the directory of an .info files by providing --info-dir
parameter.
bash
rustus --info-dir "./info_dir"
If you want to choose different storage you have to specify its type and connection string.
```bash
rustus --info-storage redis-info-storage --info-db-dsn "redis://localhost"
rustus --info-storage db-info-storage --info-db-dsn "postgres://rustus:rustus@192.168.1.89:5440/rustus"
rustus --info-storage db-info-storage --info-db-dsn "sqlite:////test.sqlite3"
rustus --info-storage db-info-storage --info-db-dsn "mysql://rustus:rustus@192.168.1.89:3306/rustus" ```
Rustus supports several event hooks, such as:
You can combine them, but you have to be careful, since AMQP hooks won't block uploading.
If you want to check the "Authorization" header value or validate some information, you have to use webhooks or File hooks.
Hooks have priorities: file hooks are the most important, then goes webhooks and AMQP hooks have the least priority. If pre-create hook failed, the upload would not start. Of course, since AMQP is a protocol that doesn't allow you to track responses we can't validate anything to stop uploading.
Hooks can have 2 formats
default:
json
{
"upload": {
"id": "",
"offset": 0,
"length": 39729945,
"path": null,
"created_at": 1641620821,

"filename": "38MB_video.mp4",
"meme": "hehe2"
}

}
}
}

Rustus can work with two types of file hooks.
The main difference is that hook name is passed as a command line parameter to a single file hook, but if you use hooks directory then hook name is used to determine a file to call. Let's take a look at the examples
Example of a single file hook:
```bash
HOOKNAME="$1" HOOKINFO="$2" MEME="$(echo "$HOOK_INFO" | jq ".upload .metadata .meme" | xargs)"
if [[ $MEME = "pepe" ]]; then echo "This meme isn't allowed" 1>&2; exit 1 fi ```
As you can see it uses first CLI parameter as a hook name and all hook data is received from stdin.
Let's make it executable
bash
chmod +x "hooks/unified_hook"
To use it you can add parameter
bash
rustus --hooks-file "hooks/unified_hook"
This hook is going to ignore any file that has "pepe" in metadata.
Let's create a hook directory.
bash
❯ tree hooks
hooks
├── post-create
├── post-finish
├── post-receive
├── post-terminate
└── pre-create
Every file in this directory has an executable flag. So you can specify a parameter to use hooks directory.
bash
rustus --hooks-dir "hooks"
In this case rustus will append a hook name to the directory you pointed at and call it as an executable.
Information about hook is passed as a first parameter, as if you call script by running:
bash
./hooks/pre-create '{"id": "someid", ...}'
Http hooks use http protocol to notify you about an upload. You can use HTTP hooks to verify Authorization.
Let's create a FastAPI application that listens to hooks and checks the authorization header.
```bash
pip install fastapi uvicorn ```
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Header, HTTPException from typing import Optional
app = FastAPI()
@app.post("/hooks") def hook( authorization: Optional[str] = Header(None), hookname: Optional[str] = Header(None), ): print(f"Received: {hookname}") if authorization != "Bearer jwt": raise HTTPException(401) return None ```
Now we can start a server.
bash
uvicorn server:app --port 8080
Now you can start rustus, and it will check if Authorization header has a correct value.
bash
rustus --hooks-http-urls "http://localhost:8000/hooks" --hooks-http-proxy-headers "Authorization"
All hooks can be sent with an AMQP protocol.
For example if you have a rabbitMQ you can use it.
bash
rustus --hooks-amqp-url "amqp://guest:guest@localhost" --hooks-amqp-exchange "my_exchange"
This command will create an exchange called "rustus" and queues for every hook.
Every hook is published with routing key "rustus.{hook_name}" like "rustus.post-create" or "rustus.pre-create" and so on.
The problem with AMQP hooks is that you can't block the upload. To do this you have to use HTTP or File hooks. But with AMQP your uploads become non-blocking which is definitely a good thing.
