Prerequisites

• Laravel requirements
• MySQL or other database
• Node.js & npm
• FFMpeg
• Soketi

How to install?

Installation is very easy, like any Laravel project, just follow the steps:

• Install the composer dependencies composer i
• Install npm dependencies npm i
• Copy the .env.example to .env and configure cp .env.example .env
• Generate a key php artisan key:generate
• Run the migrations php artisan migrate
• Seed the first user php artisan db:seed
• Build the assets npm run prod
• (optional) if run on localhost, start the laravel server php artisan serve
• The project work with 3 queue, "downloader", "converter" and default, in the future I will implement horizon, but at the moment it will have to run the 3 queue.

php artisan queue:work --queue=downloader --timeout=0

php artisan queue:work --queue=converter --timeout=0

php artisan queue:work

Converter and Downloader queue uses timeout 0 because can exceed default 60 seconds limit.

Default mail: admin@admin.com

Default pass: password

Comments about Project

This is a project for study or personal use, not intended for production.

In the future I will implement an automatic cleaning system to clean X files every X hours.

The download links were thought to be shareable with whoever the author wants, so there is no authentication in them, however, there are 3 levels of entropy (a uuid file, the uniqId in addition with file original name and a sha256 signature route), there is still the question of the ID of the conversation, making it impossible for any external person to access unless the author sends the link.

Comments about Study

The initial intention was to be my first project in VueJS starting from 0, but I also saw an opportunity to learn about sockets. So I decided to build a video converter since it was possible to integrate the two in a meaningful way, in addition to learning and reinforcing several other things, such as using FFMpeg, queues in Laravel, entropy of links, etc.
