Service

Start the service

By default, the service is runnning on port 8000 of localhost.

git clone https://github.com/buszk/file-storage
cd file-storage
cargo run

If you want to expose the service to external internet, be sure to bind to your external ip with the following command. You can use ipconfig on Mac/Linux or ifconfig on Windows to find your external ip address.

cargo run -- --addr=<external-ip>:<port>
