This project is in the proof of concept stage. It is missing critical functionalities (Ex: Deleting Files). The project is also not active at the moment. Any comments, forks or PRs is still encouraged.

S3-Filebox

This is a combination of a Frontend made in vuejs and a backend for AWS Serverless Nodejs. It is an application to easily share files using a virtual "box".

Installation - WIP

Prerequisites

• aws cli with configured credentials (aws configure)
• node
• AWS ACCESS KEY and AWS SECRET KEY
• If you don't follow the next steps in order, you will miss some parameter needed to complete the steps.

AWS Config

1. First, you need to install aws cli and configure it with your credentials.
2. Create 3 following buckets
   • <custombucketname>-web
   • <custombucketname>-files
   • <custombucketname>-lambda
3. For more security, create a new AWS ACCESS KEY that has full permission on the <custombucketname>-files bucket.
4. Host the <custombucketname>-web using either S3 'Static website hosting' or a Cloudfront distribution.
   • Use index.html as Index document.
   • The created url in this step will be the origin used for the rest of the installation.
   • When using cloudfront, add error pages to redirect both error 403 and 404 to /index.html (code 200)
5. Put the following CORS config in <custombucketname>-files bucket, using the origin from the url of your s3 webserver.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
   <CORSRule>
       <AllowedOrigin>http://custombucketname.s3-website.us-east-1.amazonaws.com</AllowedOrigin>
       <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
       <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
       <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
       <AllowedMethod>DELETE</AllowedMethod>
       <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
       <ExposeHeader>ETag</ExposeHeader>
       <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
   </CORSRule>
   </CORSConfiguration>

Backend

• Copy file serverless/parameters.dist.json to serverless/parameters.dist.json and complete the information needed
  • S3FileBoxClientHostName
    • Use the origin of the s3 -web bucket
  • S3FileBoxPublicKey
    • Use the specific -files bucket key
  • S3FileBoxSecretKey
    • Use the specific -files bucket secret
  • S3FileBoxBucketName
    • s3fileboxbucket
  • S3FileBoxMinSize
    • min filesize in bytes, default is -1 (zero)
  • S3FileBoxMaxSize
    • max filesize in bytes, default is -1 (infinite)
• Must edit simple-proxy-api.yaml with Region, Origin and accountId. //TODO, better way
• npm run install
• npm run setup

Frontend

• Copy file frontend/config/prod.env.dist.js to frontend/config/prod.env.js and complete the information needed
  • AWS_LAMBDA_ENDPOINT
    • Use the adress provided in the cloudformation page from the previous step. ApiUrl
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_BUCKET_NAME
• npm run install then npm run build
• Uploads all the files in frontend/dist/ to the <custombucketname>-web bucket
