Project Overview

Core Principle: Store all files inside a files directory using the file's SHA256 hash as its filename. All additional tools (metadata, search, etc.) are built on top of this simple foundation.

This approach makes it possible to check which servers are hosting the same file. If a file or server becomes unavailable, users have a consistent reference (the hash) to find it elsewhere. Using only HTTP everywhere.

Components

• Server: Add a file URL or server
• E2EPHEMERA: A prototype client for downloading and search files.
• ServerCrawler: Used to check files and discover other servers on the network, and so on recursively.
• JSONloose: Help organize JSON and metadata files downloaded in "files" directory moving to its directory.
• Index: Serves files via PHP and enables search functionality without a database.
• simple_upload: The most bare-bones implementation of the core idea.
