Local Development (Recommended Quick Start)

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 20.0.0
Why?: The app uses features only available in Node 20+.
npm (comes with Node.js)
Python 3 (for notification testing, optional)
Apprise (for notification testing, optional)

Setup Instructions

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dumbdrop.git
cd dumbdrop

Copy and configure environment variables
```
cp .env.example .env
```
- Open .env in your editor and review the variables.
- At minimum, set:
  - PORT=3000
  - LOCAL_UPLOAD_DIR=./local_uploads
  - MAX_FILE_SIZE=1024
  - DUMBDROP_PIN= (optional, for PIN protection)
  - APPRISE_URL= (optional, for notifications)
Install dependencies
```
npm install
```

Start the development server

npm run dev

You should see output like:

DumbDrop server running on http://localhost:3000

Open the app
- Go to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Testing File Uploads

Drag and drop files onto the web interface.
Supported file types: All, unless restricted by ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS in .env.
Maximum file size: as set by MAX_FILE_SIZE (default: 1024 MB).
Uploaded files are stored in the directory specified by LOCAL_UPLOAD_DIR (default: ./local_uploads).
To verify uploads:
- Check the local_uploads folder for your files.
- The UI will show a success message on upload.

Notification Testing (Python/Apprise)

If you want to test notifications (e.g., for new uploads):

Install Python 3
- Download Python if not already installed.
Install Apprise
```
pip install apprise
```
Configure Apprise in .env
- Set APPRISE_URL to your notification service URL (see Apprise documentation).
- Example for a local test:
```
APPRISE_URL=mailto://your@email.com
```
Trigger a test notification
- Upload a file via the web UI.
- If configured, you should receive a notification.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Port already in use
Solution:

Change the PORT in .env to a free port.

Problem: "Cannot find module 'express'"
Solution:

Run npm install to install dependencies.

Problem: File uploads not working
Solution:

Ensure LOCAL_UPLOAD_DIR exists and is writable.
Check file size and extension restrictions in .env.

Problem: Notifications not sent
Solution:

Verify APPRISE_URL is set and correct.
Ensure Apprise is installed and accessible.

Problem: Permission denied on uploads
Solution:

Make sure your user has write permissions to local_uploads.

Problem: Environment variables not loading
Solution:

Double-check that .env exists and is formatted correctly.
Restart the server after making changes.
