Simple File Upload Server Project

Project Overview

The Simple File Upload Server is a Flask-based application designed for secure, temporary file sharing and mobile app log uploads. It follows a clean MVC architecture and implements modern web standards for both API and user interface interactions.

Project Rules and Guidelines

Code Organization

MVC Pattern
- Models: Place all data models in src/models/
- Views: Store templates in src/templates/
- Controllers: Keep business logic in src/controllers/
File Structure
- Source code belongs in src/
- Configuration files in root directory
- Temporary files in tmp/uploads/
- Templates in src/templates/

Development Rules

Code Style
- Follow PEP 8 guidelines for Python code
- Use type hints where possible
- Document all public functions and classes
- Keep functions focused and single-purpose
Security Requirements
- All uploads must be authenticated with API key
- File names must be sanitized
- SSL required for production
- Implement proper error handling
- Clean up expired/abandoned files
API Guidelines
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Document all endpoint changes
- Include proper error responses
- Use consistent response formats
- Validate all input parameters
Feature Implementation
- Add tests for new features
- Update documentation
- Follow chunked upload protocol for large files
- Maintain mobile app compatibility
- Consider both WiFi and mobile network scenarios

Testing Requirements

New Features
- Unit tests required
- Test both success and failure cases
- Include mobile network testing
- Verify chunked upload functionality
Performance Testing
- Test with files >100MB
- Verify timeout configurations

Deployment Rules

Docker Requirements
- Use multi-stage builds
- Include only necessary files
- Set proper permissions
- Configure appropriate timeouts
Production Setup
- SSL certificates required
- Strong CLIENT_KEY required
- Proper file cleanup configuration
- Monitoring setup
