Architecture

All file uploads are ephemeral and deleted after an hour.

• frontend A static file server is used to serve frontend files over HTTP.
• backend Download links are generated by presigning it using AWS SDK.
• encryption Presigned links to download the uploaded files are generated using S3 managed encryption keys since all objects within an S3 are encrypted at rest.
• QR codes QR codes are made with qrcode.js.

Deployment

Wormhole is currently deployed on render. To run locally, clone this repo and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/dinosoupy/wormhole.git

Configure the following environment variables with your own S3 bucket keys:

AWS_REGION=
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=

Build the app and run:

go build
./wormhole

Make sure to create a role with access to the bucket beforehand. I would also recommend setting up a lifecycle configuration on the bucket to make sure partial uploads are auto deleted. Completed uploads are deleted by the main server after an hour by default.
