##Install

ThrowBox has only one dependency that is not a part of the default library - Flask.

Before running ThrowBox, run script install.py. For now, that script only creates a folder named REPO in the root of the project directory.

You can configure ThrowBox to your liking with file throwbox.conf.

For testing purposes, you can run:

python3 app.py

which will host the project on localhost, port 8080.

However, prefered hosting method is via gunicorn, using nginx as a proxy. You can check my personal nginx and systemd config files in miscellaneous folder.

##Use Just throw all the files and folders in the REPO folder. Also, if you want to have a private files downloadable only via link, name the file so it beggins with a dot(.).

For example; Folder with files file1 .file2 file3 will only list file1 and file2. However, you can download .file3 via a direct link (.file3 is, so to speak, hidden).
