Transfer.coffee is a simple Node.js web application that allows users to share files using WebTorrent. Users can upload files, generate mnemonic seeds, and share these seeds with others to download the files directly via peer-to-peer connections. The application supports optional configuration of STUN and TURN servers to facilitate NAT traversal.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Peer-to-peer file sharing using WebTorrent
|
||||
- Mnemonic seed generation for easy file sharing
|
||||
- Optional STUN and TURN server configuration for NAT traversal
|
||||
- Progress indicators for file upload and download
|
||||
- Configurable tracker URL
|
||||
- Bundled WebTorrent tracker
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Node.js (tested with v22.3 but anything recent should work)
|
||||
- npm
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.private.coffee/PrivateCoffee/transfer.coffee.git
|
||||
cd transfer.coffee
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Optional, but recommended for production: Put the application behind a reverse proxy (e.g. Caddy or nginx) and configure SSL.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure the application using environment variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- `TRACKER_URL`: The WebTorrent tracker URL (default: `ws://localhost:8106`)
|
||||
- `STUN_SERVER_URL`: The STUN server URL (optional - not used if unset)
|
||||
- `TURN_SERVER_URL`: The TURN server URL (optional - not used if unset)
|
||||
- `TURN_SECRET`: The static-auth-secret for the TURN server (required if `TURN_SERVER_URL` is set)
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the Application
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the tracker:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run tracker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Set the environment variables and start the server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export TRACKER_URL="wss://tracker.your-domain.com" # URL of the WebTorrent tracker - default: ws://localhost:8106, use wss:// for secure connections
|
||||
export STUN_SERVER_URL="stun:stun.nextcloud.com:443" # Optional - there are public STUN servers available - not used if unset
|
||||
export TURN_SERVER_URL="turn:your-turn-server-url" # Optional - you would need to set up your own TURN server - don't set this if you don't have one
|
||||
export TURN_SECRET="your-static-auth-secret" # Required if you have a TURN server - don't set this if you don't have one
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000`.
|
||||
|
||||
