An easy-to-use private asset repository to allow authorized users to upload and serve static files. In short, it's a personal and private clone of imgur.

Feel free to try out ServeU at serveu.vincentnguyen.ca.

The password to the demo account is demo. Any files uploaded to the demo repository will be removed from the database and deleted after approximately 1 hour.

ServeU is a platform where authorized users can upload and share files with their colleagues, friends, and anyone else with a link.

Supported features include:

• Randomized and adorable animal-based file IDs thanks to randimals
• A simple sign in using a password tied to a personal account and repository
• Upload images, audio, video, and any other files (NOTE: only image, audio, and video previews are supported)
• Get a shareable link to the asset to send to colleagues and friends
• Users may only see files that they have uploaded themselves

NOTE: Registration for users is currently only possible through the host or administrator.

To set up the client, navigate to the client folder and open .env.example to configure options:

REACT_APP_API_URL=http:https://localhost:3001

API_URL here refers to the location where the server is hosted. If working locally, no changes need to be made but for production, this should be changed to the domain and port where the server is hosted. When your changes are done, rename .env.example to .env to allow the project to use it.

Afterwards, install yarn and run the following two commands to get started:

yarn install
yarn dev

For additional commands and information, please refer to the client README.
