lainsafecli documentation

History

delegao and I were talking about how much I hate the modern web. He runs https://safe.delegao.moe which is the same but with JS, so I think it sucked. I started to make lainsafe to replace lolisafe.

Lainsafe installation

Just put index.html and upload.cgi in a HTTP directory. I use fcgi to run my cgi scripts. So it's what i recommend. To install fcgi on Debian, run: # apt install fcgiwrap

here's an example configuration for lainsafe, using nginx.

server
{
	server_name lainsafe.foo.tld;

	listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;
	client_max_body_size 100m; # max size 100MBs, change 10 to 100 in upload.cgi in line 30
	root /var/www/lainsafe;

	location ~ \.cgi$ {
		gzip off;
		include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
		fastcgi_index index.cgi;
		fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/lainsafe/$fastcgi_script_name;
	}
}

lainsafecli

lainsafecli is a command line interface for lainsafe. It can be used in whatever that runs Perl. Installation is simple: if you're running Debian install the libwww-perl package. If you are not running Debian, search for that package in your repositories. Or use # cpan -i LWP::UserAgent Also LWP::UserAgent::https is needed. In Debian, install liblwp-protocol-https-perl, in other distros try # cpan -i LWP::UserAgent

Installation

I haven't made a package for lainsafecli yet. So installation is basically:

# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qorg11/lainsafe/master/lainsafecli \
-O /bin/lainsafecli && chmod +x /bin/lainsafecli

That will install lainsafecli, run lainsafecli to make sure it is installed.

Configuration

lainsafecli is a simple software. So it has just 2 configurable parameters. lainsafecli do not have a config file. So you have to change these parameters in the executable file.

These parameters are located in the line 34 of lainsafecli.

$DEFAULT_SERVER the server that will be used if --server is not specified. $DISPLAY_ASCII By default is true, change to 0 if you don't want the Lain ASCII art to appear when you upload a file.

the most "official" lainsafe instance is https://lainsafe.delegao.moe.

Usage

Before 1b8373

USAGE: lainsafecli [--server] --file=FILE

After 1b8373

USAGE: lainsafecli [--server] FILE

for example:

lainsafe --server=https://lainsafe.foo.bar sicp.pdf

will upload sicp.pdf to lainsafe.foo.bar

Sample output

In this output, $DEFAULT_SERVER is lainsafe.delegao.moe. and $DISPLAY_ASCII equals 1 (true)

upload.cgi

upload.cgi is the perl script that do all the works. You could delete index.cgi from your sever and just upload.cgi. You'd upload files through lainsafecli.

Configuration

Only one parameter: $MAX_SIZE specify, in megabytes, the max size of files allowed. So for example. If you want to set 100MBs as max size . $MAX_SIZE would be like this: $MAX_SIZE = 1024*1024*100

If someone tries to upload a file bigger than 100MBs. It will return Max size for a file is 100 MBs, then, upload.cgi will die.
