Communal peer-to-peer file sharing application for file servers/NAS devices

AirDC++ Web Client

AirDC++ Web Client is a locally installed application, which is designed for flexible sharing of files or directories within groups of people in a local network or over internet. The daemon application can be installed on different types of systems, such as on file servers and NAS devices.

The application uses Advanced Direct Connect protocol, which allows creating file sharing communities with thousands of users. The application itself is highly optimized even for extreme use cases: a single client can be used to share more than 10 million files or over a petabyte (1000 terabytes) of data.

Key functionality

• Responsive web user interface written in React.js
• Share selected local directories with other users
• Search for files shared by other users
• Save files on disk or view them via the browser
• Chatting capabilities (group and private chat)
• Browse directories shared by other users with a simple file browser interface
• Extension support using Node.js (+others)
• Web API (HTTP REST and WebSockets)

Download to... function no error is found in logs or Events when trying to download to an directory with no write permission

When using the "Download to..." function no error is found in logs or Events when trying to download to an directory with no write permission for the airdcppd user.

Also an Event is logged every 60 minutes, can I some how acknowledge this so it does not continue?
Searching the bundle Ubuntu.iso for alternatives, 1 search(es) queued. Next search in 60 minutes

I think a Event with information just that destination for Download to... is not writable would be enough and don't try with the same search next hour at all?

some windows are too big and make the page scrollable

When i want to add a new user for the System / Users the new window that popups is very big and make the window scrollable. It would be much better if the access settings have the scroll bar.
Most users don't have superduper resolutions. I use 1920x1080 that is a very common resolution.
I have marked it red in the picture.

changing hub address while connect make it impossible to disconnect

I was connected to a hub address and i then changed it in the favorite hubs without disconnecting. When i press save it seems to start acting weird. Can't disconnect and the hub windows is empty and it looks like i'm already disconnected. I tried to refresh and logout and in again but still the same.

Gui client

Was wondering if there is any gui client that can connect to airdcpp-webclient core?

Sort of like transmission-qt (windows) that can run on you machine and connect to a remote daemon?

busy spinning wheel in open filelists...

If i have full filelists open and do a reload in the client (from the tab menu) it seems that the Webui can't handle it and only show this spinning busy wheel.

when i open the sidebar the amount of new messages disappear before i can read it

When open the sidebar the hubs will show the amount of new messages but the active hub will not or it does but it disappear before i could read it. If i'm lucky i manage to see it. It should stay there until i press the hub name the same way as i change hub. So if i want to check the active hub last i still have the amount of new message there until i activate the hub again. If only the active hub got new messages i only press it and the amount of new messages disappear. It will work as a confirm button that i have read all the messages.

In Events on right panel, message about IPv6 connectivity even when it has been automatically disabled on prior startup

Upon starting airdcppd it seems to check for IPv6 network even when it has been disabled in
Connectivity/Advanced/IPv6

If it is disabled then do not run the check for IPv6 networking?

Hub statistics / Clients will go outside the frame

In the picture you can see the clients are outside the frame

miniupnpc detection is broken

Firstly, this project never sets HAVE_OLD_MINIUPNPC so the related ifdef has no effect.
Secondly, recent miniupnpc versions need a new ttl parameter (which should be set to 2 by default, according to the source).
I think you should use the value of MINIUPNPC_API_VERSION when you call upnpDiscover.

Search for directory/file/archive or audio file

This is an enhancement request since I'm used to the way ncdc works my standard search option there is to search for directory.

The following snippet is from ncdc manual page to get an idea on options.

/search [options]
Performs a file search, opening a new tab with the results.

Available options:
-hub Search the current hub only. (default)
-all Search all connected hubs, except those with `chat_only' set.
-le Size of the file must be less than .
-ge Size of the file must be larger than .
-t File must be of type . (see below)
-tth TTH root of this file must match .
File sizes ( above) accept the following suffixes: G (GiB), M (MiB) and K (KiB).

The following file types can be used with the -t option:
1 any Any file or directory. (default)
2 audio Audio files.
3 archive (Compressed) archives.
4 doc Text documents.
5 exe Windows executables.
6 img Image files.
7 video Video files.
8 dir Directories.
Note that file type matching is done using file extensions, and is not very reliable.

i need to save settings on every page or the changes will get lost

If i disable 'Add finished bundles to share instantly (if shared)' in 'Download options' page the Save changes button get active but if i now change page to 'Search matching' the 'Save changes' button is still active and if i now change back to 'Download options' again the 'Add finished bundles to share instantly (if shared)' is enabled again but 'Save changes' is still active.

So you should remember all changes even if i change settings page and if i try to leave the settings page warn me about unsaved changes or you could make all changes get lost and change back 'Save changes' to 'No unsaved changes'.

Option to force download even if exists in share

Refactor websocket and subscription management (UI)

Socket-related code should be moved to a different module that could be easily used by other implementations utilizing the Web API

wrong address when address field is empty

when pressing connect without any address, it shows an already connected address in the error message

if i want to send a message to a user from the file list nothing happens when i press 'Send message'

From the file list i can use the drop down menu and send message to the user but nothing happens when i press 'Send message'

Make it possible to block private message from user/bots

Enhancement: Make it possible in the drop down menu to block private message from user/bots.

Enhancement: make it possible to block specified messages to main chat

Make it possible to block specified messages to main chat.
Maybe with regex or something?

new message indicator should be in a straight line

It is easy to see how many new messages that i have missed but it would look much better if those indicators was in a straight line instead of the end of the hub/user name. The hub/nick name will be truncated if it is too long so it must be easy to get that indicator a static position.

Failed to set up HTTP(S) server on port X: Underlying Transport Error

Ports seem to stay in use for a while if the client is restarted while there are users connected. The error can be avoided by closing active sessions before restarting or waiting for a while before starting the client again.

sidebar window will lose typed text when i close it

If i write a PM message and for some reason want to check main before i sent the message the text i wrote in the PM window is gone when i go back. The text should be remembered so i don't need to type it all over again. It happens the same thing for main window.

Cannot connect to the server. Reconnecting...

When i lose connection i will see a message 'Reconnecting...' and maybe it does, but if it doesn't work to connect it will show another message 'Cannot connect to the server. Reconnecting...'. Everything is correct except Reconnecting. It will show reconnecting forever so it would be more proper to show 'trying to reconnect' or else you think it is about to connect when it isn't.

a few seconds ago

It doesn't look nice when the last refresh is below one minute...

no space left for the message indicator if the user have a long nick

no space left for the message indicator if the user have a long nick or have different nick in each hub

Can't add shares with no trailing slashes

It seems adding a share with no trailing slash causes bugs when it is listed:

What does the last icon (down) on the right side do?

The icon that displays transfer speeds and hash speeds has a clock.
When you click it it turns orange.

What is that for?

sort order in search will not get remembered

When open the search window it will always start on sort by Relevancy even if i change it to Name

filelists will show all the user names in filelists as file list path

Why show all the user names as truncated in the file list when i already have all the user names at the top? It would be much better if it only showed the first user name (the user name from that hub it was downloaded from) instead of a ugly truncated user names or replace it with something else, Root or something... Almost every user have more chars then fit in that window before you cut it off.

generate_stringdefs.js fails to run on platforms where nodejs's binary is called node

When the binary is called node, stringdefs are not created and no error is logged but compilation eventually fails.

OS X version

The application compiles on OS X already and code-level compatibility is being actively tested with Travis. The make install phase is not supported yet.

Implementing a graphical config tool for the web server might be useful before actually shipping anything.

Fails when running `make -j4`

Hi,

I've tried to install airdcpp-webclient by following the instructions in the readme on one of my machines, which is running Ubuntu 14.04. At the end of the compile step (when running make -j4) it fails with the following:

I then changed strategy and tried to create a Docker container to run it in instead, which was the plan from the beginning anyway. But i ended up with exactly the same error here as well. I think the Dockerfile is quite self explanatory, as you can see I set it up with Ubuntu 15.10 (to get the libwebsocketpp-dev package) and then run all the commands from the readme. I also tried checking out an earlier commit but still received the same error.

Do you guys see something obviously wrong here?

... And thank you for a hopefully great app :) I waited a long time for a nice dc++ web client, and even better that it's based on airdc!

undo button for PM and file list windows

Because it is so much harder to reopen PM and other windows it would be great with an undo button so i can open the 5 latest PM windows and the 5 latest file lists?

Implement heartbeat for Websockets

Currently the client can queue lots of messages for sockets that aren't able to receive messages. Ping-pong should be implemented so that the client could check if the other end is alive.

can't use edit/remove in favorit hubs after pressing twice on the name

When i press on a name in favorite hubs the menu drop down with edit and remove but if i press the name again i can't select anything in this menu because it will close when the mouse is over the menu. To get it to work i need to press another name and now it works until i press twice on a name again.

Enhancement: Initiate hashing for deeper directories in a share...

I mean, I share /Music

Re-size main/chat window to not cut the lines

The current window for Hubs/Messages are limited in the width, this cuts lines unnecessary.

add support for http://username:password@hostname:port

It would be nice if i could use http://username:password@hostname:port when i login. I have tried several web browsers and some of them will not ask me to save the password. I have tried both http and https because i know https sometimes not let you save the password but i still not get it to ask me to save the login and password.
The only browser i can get it to work in is Firefox.

when ipv6 is disabled i can still change auto detection

I have disabled IPv6 and therefore 'Auto detection' is grayed out but here it is possible to change that option even if it is grayed out.
