About Me - fullerzz

I'm just a guy from Arizona that thinks software is pretty neat. I spend my days working as a backend software developer writing and maintaining cloud-based applications. These apps are mostly written in Python and Java with Terraform used for the IAC.

I'm looking to improve my Go dev skills in 2024!

Current Projects

There are a couple repos I plan on continuing development on as the ideas are still interesting to me.

Name	Description
loamy	Allows you to execute a list of http operations asynchronously from within an synchronous context.
pi-cloud*	Rest API for raspberry pi to enable file hosting on local networks.

* The first iteration of this project is written in Python. I'm pretty comfortable with Python, so planning on continuing the development in Go here: https://github.com/fullerzz/picloud

picloud's Issues

Setup GitHub Actions

Basic Setup

• Runs tests
• Runs build
• Runs lint

Panics on Initial Startup

Program will panic and crash if metadata.json doesn't exist.

Should be simple fix. The program should start normally if the file doesn't exist.

Serve Images AVIF Format

Look into using this library to serve images in the .avif format.

Add Tests

Functions Requiring Tests in main.go

• updateFileTags
• searchFiles
• getAvif
• loadConfig
• loadFileMetadata
• writeFileMetadata
• buildLink
• saveFile
• listFiles

Functions Requiring Tests in resizer.go

• writeNewImg
• createAltSizes

Create Alt Sizes for Uploaded Files

When a file is uploaded, create alternative sizes that can be served to reduce bandwidth consumed. To start, I'm thinking of creating 2 alternative sizes - icon sized and medium sized.

Both those terms don't mean much, so I still have to come up with some requirements to create an "icon" sized image and a "medium" sized image.

Off the top of my head, I will need to take the pixel dimensions into account along with the size of the file. I'm not sure if the relationship between those 2 things is a 1-1 ratio or if they scale differently.

Links Use localhost

Links don't work once deployed to the pi, as they contain localhost instead of pi.local.

Support for PNG Images when Converting to AVIF

Add support for additional png images.

Use S3 as Storage Backend

Store uploaded files in S3 as the persistent storage location.

S3 Bucket Requirements

• Block all public access
• Object versioning
• S3 bucket key for encryption

IAM To Do

• Create new IAM resources that allows this API to access the new S3 bucket
